[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron74:
Do not upgrade to a Note 5. The Note 4 is way better of a phone! Period! I don't know about the S6 or S7.

If you want to upgrade, do your research.

Edit, This phone is the greatest in my eyes. The new flagships might have faster cpu and ram. But just think about what you personally use your phone for. Unless your running some serious power software or powerful new game that can't hold up on this phone, then why? We got decent cpu, gpu, Ram. They screen display is awesome. Replaceable battery, ext sd, remote control.

So you have to ask yourself, what real benefit will you get from upgrading besides having a new phone.

If your bored with its looks, maybe flash a new Rom.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srdryl:
TYSM.....I'm greatful for your feedback.... Ques....if I/we upgrade to the latest software is it the same thing (OS) as the note 5 within the note 4 device??
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
Yes
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgekg:
Just think what option/feature you don't have right now with your Note 4? Decent processor and RAM, GPU also, fantastic screen - not small, but not too big too, expandable storage, removable battery, S-pen, IR blaster, good camera... For those who are willing to sold their kidney for the latest phone with "greatest" camera I can suggest to spend about 500-600€ for a good real DSLR and the rest for a decent phone. That way picture quality will be unmeasurable with any phone and for the rest of the money one can get decent phone.

Only downside of keeping the Note 4 (if you don't want to play with custom ROMs and want to keep with stock ROM) is Samsung's bad habit to abandon any device as soon as the production is over. But you can sign a petition to Samsung for stock Android 7 here https://www.change.org/p/samsung-sa...97a-b3ea-0c82b26917e6?source_location=minibar I already sign. 850 people too. The fact is that I really do not expect any reaction from Samsung, but worth to try.

In a near future I will not sell my Note 4

Can someone please give me the original Moto G5 plus bootanimation from the system dump?

I'm looking for two files:

Bootanimation from /system/bin/ and

Bootanimation.zip from /system/media/

That's because I didn't find any system dump for the cellphone nd I understand that you have Nougat out of the box right?

Thank you in all the ways!!!
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dahenjo:
These are from my stock/rooted G5+ with 7.0 Nougat so I think that's what you want. Had to add an extension to 'bootanimation' to be able to upload as attachment, so it's 'bootanimation.log' just rename it back.
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] vicl89:
Thanks!! Excuse me if I ask for something more... Can you share me the font that is used on the command center? I'll be grateful for real :)

Dear XDA Community,

I backed up my viber messages but i can not find a way to restore them into the app! Any kind of idea would really help! I am willing to root my phone over this and lose my warranty!

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] diabolyk34:
Hi,

Sorry for my poor English, I'm french...

I have a Leeco Le Max 2 x829 and after unboxing it I have made a nandroid backup with this tuto : https://www.howtogeek.com/240655/how-to-copy-twrp-android-backups-to-your-pc-for-safe-keeping/ and i have backup ALL.

I had put (before backup) language in French(canadian) to have a good translation because French(France) was not really good.

After that I have flashed the cuoco92 v77 ROM.

I have put many apps by play store in wifi easily.

I have made the OTA update by the ROM and all was ok.

put a lot of pictures and videos on the smartphone, download other apps by play store without problem in wifi.

I had problems with pics and videos so remove all before reupload but because of no more Mo available i would reflash a new ROM.

And now, when I am in the new ROM, my problem is that i can't download in play store.

i can only with hidevpn activated or if i put French(canadian) language...

An idea to help me ?

Also, instead of adb drivers and all installed on my win10 computer, when i boot in TWRP when phone connected it is'nt visible in my computer.

My question is : is it possible to wipe all the phone (/sdcard, but also all the rest of the phone like /boot / recovery.....) ?

objective is to have a new phone just unboxed with nothing on it and reflash immediately a clean ROM.

Thanks a lot helping me.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] diabolyk34:
I have a beginning of answer....

After multiple flash and all the time the same problem of update apps on play store I just flash another time and before clic on "update all apps" i update one and wait installation complete before update another one and it's working fine.

Others have the same problem ?

I don't want to test another time to update all or install 2 or more apps at the same time to see if it's the problem because don't want to reflash it.

but if someone know if he can update multiple upload at the same time i would know.

;)

HERE you can see "program" I've made to change splash logos on older lg series..

I wanted to change one in LG G4 but my time and resources are limited and could use little help with this updated device...

I know there has been models released since and this phone hasn't got the big buzz about it anymore but I was hoping to get it done with help of some pioneers of the device..

The m8 . on the go atm but I see in hex its a bunch of core images file?

Where on device does it reside ? I need to get mine out and compare for sake of "magic" and offsets..

Looks like lg standard format but will have to boot PC to see it really.. We should be able to make a change but depends on location really.. This time I think I will try aroma zip to make changes xD
[G4 Themes and Apps] IGGYVIP:
Well that was cold.. But thx for even showing up..

And don't worry.. I'm used to it.. When I've made first post about root of LG L3II had same responses.. Now its all unlocked with custom ROMs...etc..
[G4 Themes and Apps] genesixxbf3:
This device is already ****. It has an high chance of bootlooping. Doing that will increase the risk

[G4 Themes and Apps] IGGYVIP:
Got one few weeks ago n changing ROMs as much as it goes trying to find one I like not a single issue yet... Found the evil thing gets red hot if screen any more than dim during charge and if CPU at max overclock n heavy operation..

In theory changing images that he posted to smaller less complicated ones would work towards saving the device as less code processed on every boot..

I hate the bootloader unlocked notif..
[G4 Themes and Apps] maxx_hr:
You can get your partition from device by:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p45 of=/storage/9016-4EF8/raw_resources

Replace /9016-4EF8/ part with your micro sd's card name.

And on mmcblk0p46 is raw_resourcesbak.

But I doubt that 'bootloader unocked' notification get any relation with boot logo.

BR
[G4 Themes and Apps] IGGYVIP:
Great thanks.

By any chance u knowof/remember what kernel/rom changes splash for custom one ?

Having trouble separating the images contained within..
[G4 Themes and Apps] maxx_hr:
If I understand your question:

Never see any changes on bootsplash, with several stock/customs kernel/roms.

Only 'ulocked bootloader' after regular unlocking, but raw_resources don't contain this words.

But on 000800 start order of images with:

lglogo_image; next is:

powered_android_image

quick_lglogo_image

load_charger_image

recovery

backup_restore

etc
[G4 Themes and Apps] IGGYVIP:
Hmm might need to dig into dev tree of this thing to find out where does it call the text about bootloader from..

As for the logo partition it seems some new modified lg version of rle packing

Basically its a multi rle(maybe tiff rle now that I think about it...) partition with padding. pulled from device comes out at 4mb

Yes we can see there is few images there and in this order but where does one start and finish and another start n finish etc is still mystery.. thought maybe bytes after the iamge name are pointing to offsets but don't seem to be able to make sense of it

Hey. Don't know if you're still looking into this, but thanks anyway.

I guess it's more of a luxury than a need, but it would be nice to remove that unlocked warning. I would certainly donate if you succeeded.

I assume this would apply to all LG models.

Perhaps we could start a bounty. Though I don't have G4 but V20 and V10.

So i recently flashed the latest lineage 14.1 rom for my phone and the fingerprint scanner has been a little buggy since then. It works sometimes but most of the time it says "fingerprint hardware not available" . Ive tried the latest nuclearom as well and the issue is still the same.ive attached a screenshot as well. Should i go to the service centre or try something else. Thanks in advance

Hello,

Lately i started to search for ways to lock and unlock my pc with my Android Device, and i found lots of options for Mac and Linux, but the Windows options was all discontinued :(

My goal is to be able to unlock my computer when it detect my phone via bluetooth, and lock it if its not in range anymore.

This is what i found so far:

BTProximity (the configuration its not working and its descontinued)

http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/btprox/files/btprox/1.5.0/

BlueLock (also discontinued, on this one, i was able to lock my pc, but only if i took my bluetooth adapter off the pc)

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Security-Related/Blue-Lock-PC.shtml

And i found this article on microsoft saying that this will be inplemented soon:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/security/companion-device-unlock

i also succeeded to unlock my pc via fingerprint with Tasker+Autotools+Unified Remote following the instructions from Mishaal Rahman:

[P8lite General] Pokrzywnik6:
Hi, this small sneaky tutorial is for ppl who wondered if we can open any other app in ultra stamina mode, or for everyone who miss music player in this mode (like me). Here are the steps:

1. Google for any app from playstore.

2.Copy url, it will be something like this:

https :/ /play. google.com/store/apps(...)

3. Send it via sms to yourself or operator (so it give an error sending - free sms link ;) )

4. Make sure that play store open that links by default.

5. Go to stamina mode -> sms -> tap on link -> open link by play store

6. Go to "my apps" If you get no connection error tap on wifi or mobile data text to turn it on

7. Select app and run it

Note that only one app can be runned because recent button dont work in this mode, also when you lock your screen it automically disable wifi/data and save energy :)

Feel free to use this small trick and give a feedback for what you used it to. If I help you click tahnks button :)
[P8lite General] Audriuskins:
What is stamina mode?
[P8lite General] Pokrzywnik6:
Idk full english name but in huawei "device menager" you have 3 plans to choose:

Normal -normal power management, fast discharge but high performance

Intelligent - saves some energy but still full functionality

Ultra stamina (?) - disables all apps and launcher, you have only dialer sms and exit button on black home screen.
[P8lite General] Audriuskins:
Oh, It's just Ultra saving mode
[P8lite General] Pokrzywnik6:
Sorry for mistake Audriuskins
[P8lite General] nayeemudheen:
You mean this tutorial is to open other apps in ultra saving mode ? If so you dont have to these lot of things . Only you have to do is to switch to ultra mode . Press the circle button for long​ time so that the google search will launch . And type the app you want to open. It will show the app you searched for and click on it to open?
[P8lite General] Pokrzywnik6:
Woah, i didnt think about it!

Aslo i removed google search app because i find it annoying, you know randomly pops out od nowhere
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] veralynn:
well Yeah.. so i bought this stick just now on ebay thinking it should be good enought to give away for streaming some live tv and so on, but

this had obviously the WIFI problem and there i was..

Not beeing able to use WIFI i started to search for different roms and after a couple days constantly searching HOW TO- and downloading different ROMS and watching youtube on how to flash i set up to the task once again..

Beeing able to flash both Nvidia tablets, Samsung Telephones, and Xiaomi i felt confident that i would be able to fix this..

But no, i had a couple different roms that started up With start screen but then that was it, nothing more i couldnt get past start boot logo on either of the 3 roms i thought was correct so i startd to search for same chip roms as this has the 3229 rockchip and the AS something number wifichip..

But then after flashing With a unknown rom it wouldnt start up again or even get recogniced by the computer usb again..

I tried the reset button, i tried shortcutting pin 6-7 and most likely all other as well but no Luck..

There is a blue light but its only halfway as Bright as when the stick was ON and working.

So its like its stuck in some low Power recovery or i dont know..

At least it lights up when i plug it in.

this is the stick With the red "plastic antenna"

Its not an antenne after all by lokking at it but maybe it serves some purpose of making People think its an antenna..

Any suggestions will be apreciated as now i consider it as Waste and after just spending 35 USD on it i would like it to at least get it back so i can sideload some games on it and give it away rather than putting it in the trashcan..

I attach link to the crap i bought so you get the idea of what it is and to also avoid..

Thank you all for all help!!

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] pjamfaro:
Hi.

I think I have the same device as you. And also I tried to flash another rom without success, so until I find a good rom, its just a small brick.

I also been in the same situation as you, but you have to short pins 7-8 to revive. Its the pins facing the middle of the device, and counting from the device edge/side.

Good luck. If you find a working rom for it, let me know ;)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] veralynn:
No, i have had no luck. Piece of **** device.

Got 80% refund from seller after a couple weeks of complaining.

Just throw it away and buy a ZAPPATI media player or a Nvidia shield if you dont use any 3D.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] pjamfaro:
Hi again.

If you ever revive your dongle, you can get a working rom from the following link:

It worked for me ;)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] veralynn:
Thanks. I will try. Any tips in how to revive it??
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] MKUltraBlack:
I also have an mk809iv. I couldn't get developer options to show after tapping build number but it said "no need you are already a developer" (I assume its preunlocked?) I got bored and decided to flash a rom. I have the rockchip factory tool and rockchip batch tool. I tried flashing an update and the problems began lol

OK..... The stick now doesn't have a blue led on AT All. Tried original mains power source different USB cables different ports on laptop etc.

When I connect it to the TV it doesn't show up on the hdmi. Have I really fried it properly ?

Is there a way to use command on pc or adb shell or something to unlock the bootloader. In batch tool I can see the device after shorting pin 6/7 method but when I load firmware and start to flash then it comes up with failed at boot every time and on different versions of the tool.

I rooted the device before with King root (not king o root) and flashed supersu via rom installer app. Assuming that developer options are open by default, the device should be rooted now...... Right? ?

Anyway is there a way to uninstall all the software and reinstall the manufacturers firmware via the pc ? I have included pics of the board, but when looking at other people's pics the have a lot more chips and nand chips etc mine has one chip on the back and on the other side what I presume to be a heat sync (look like a bit of a tin can

Lol)

I have been on many forums for about 48hrs straight now ? and still can't find answers *sigh*

Recap:- 1 is it fried

2 if not can I sort it via pc

3 HOW?! lol

One last thing, would it run on cyanogenmod 11 ? it's an android device running kit kat and my gingerbread S2 is now on cm11 or are the internal "gibbons" different ?

Many thanks to anyone who can lend me a hand ??
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xMohammad:
Hello everybody!

I recently wanted to use a custom rom..

So I Flashed the stock firmware the .291 build. after that I wanted to flash twrp recovery.

So I downgraded the kernel to ,575 then flashed the recovery file, and from the recovery I flashed the Existenz rom (.291 based).

Then I rebooted the device,, Unfortunately I got a boot loop on SONY logo.

So I reflashed the stock firmware (.291) throw flashtool. but flash didn't complete,,, and I got boot loop again.

after that I DON'T KNOW why I flashed the .575 kernel.. Flash completed,, phone turned off

then it's COMPLETELY DEAD.. no signs of life

I tried every power- volume combinations, but I got no vibrations nor leds. and the charging sign doesn't appear when connecting the device to a power supply.

I only hear the connection sound when I connect the device to the computer and press volume down + power button for 10 secs, but it shows nothing on computer!

Any help would be appreciated
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dobsgw:
Your best bet if it shows no sign of life is to charge for a few hours to make sure it has enough battery.

Hopefully the red light comes on at some point. Either way try leaving it plugged in for a few hours.

Then you can try flashing again.

Ensure all the drivers are properly installed for flashtool.

Ensure you have the correct ftf for your device!

Start flash mode for a full .291 ftf and plug the phone in while holding down the volume down button as normal.

Try this repeatedly until you get a connection.

Alternatively you can wrap a very tight rubber band around the volume down key and connect it while flashtool is in flashmode.

If you're lucky a connection will be made and flashtool will have time to flash the firmware.

Persistence is key here. Many times a brick can be saved but it can take a long time.

Good luck and I hope it works

[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
I will be using this thread to track my upgrade of the amplifier chip on the Intel Sofia based Joying units.

I chose the Pioneer PA2030A but apparently you can also use the TDA7850 chip.

To quote [MENTION=8119720]kampfschachtel[/MENTION]:

If your speakers are 4 ohm I would use the Pioneer as it has more power at 4 ohm, if you have 2 ohm speakers (like eg a lot of the BMW ones) then the TDA7850 is your choice. Be aware you get orginals as they are lot low quality clones on the market.
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
Joying radio and new Pioneer PA2030A chip

You can see in the back where the amp chip is anchored in the metal frame with two screws. The metal frame provides some cooling.
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
First step: take unit apart using the 2 screws - 1 on each side. At this step, say goodbye to your warranty!
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
1 more screws on the back and then you can take the top cover off
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
Behold! The internals!

Slide up the 2 USB cables from the frame and carefully disconnect the single USB cable from the board, the ribbon cable from the motherboard (which takes video and touch input to the screen) and then on the back, unscrew the GPS antenna from the frame. The other bundle of mic, radio antenna and USB cable just keep as is, as it's more work to untangle the wires.

NOTE! The ribbon cable uses a slide-lock to keep the cable in. Carefully pull the brown slider back and then remove the ribbon from the slot. Don't force it or you may damage it and will need to get a new ribbon.
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
Your can see the cables that were removed.

Next remove the following 4 screws and also the smaller 2 screws holding the amp chip to the frame
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
You can see the metal bracket that holds the amp chip falls off. Notice in the back, that the amp chip is held to the frame with some thermal paste. We'll need some more of that later when the chip is replaced.

Remove 2 more bolts that hold the motherboard - on the corners. 1 you can see where my screwdriver is resting.
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
Carefully pry out the board from the case.

You can see the chip we'll replace and the solders in the back that we'll have to work with.

NOTE: interesting marking on the board - PX3-MAIN. Other folks might know more on this, but did they re-use the main host board from their other stereos with minor modifications? Looks like it.
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
Next step - warm up the solder gun!

Time to go find my solder gun... dammit! Where did I put it? Haha!
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
You're going to want to pay attention to how high the chip sits on the board as the new one will have to be at a similar height to bolt back to the metal frame.
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
---removed---
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
Another side note... It looks like the SD card reader board has space for another SD card reader slot. If one wants dual SD card, maybe another soldering project down the line? ;) The metal frame is also pre-cut for the second slot so it would be an easy project!
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
Making slow progress on removing the chip. A nice solder sucker would be great right now!
[Android Head-Units] Flemischguy:
It looks easy, but that soldering looks the most difficult part of the job, how can you loose it with so many pins on the board, and i suppose you can do that by every chinese android radio? :)
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
You take your time :) Slowly heat up pins and you go around to each pin... over and over again.
[Android Head-Units] Flemischguy:
Do you use a classic soldering on electric? I think that i would use a soldering on gas, which is instantly hot and blow hot air over the pins (and faster)

Just a thought
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
So I got the chip soldered. Ran a quick test and got audio, but the channels are all over the place. Gotta trace all my solders to make sure I didn't mess up anything.
[Android Head-Units] bogdi1988:
Yea, I did use a classic one.

I might have to re-do all solders.
