MrVanx is right AS FAR AS REGISTRY IS CONCERNED. You can backup/restore registry setting as a whole or branches and entries of your liking easily even without SPB Backup. But restoring full ROM with all programs is like forecasting the weather - you can never know the exact result. I have tried both SPB Backup and Sprite Backup to restore apps between the different WM6 ROMs and the results were not very positive - from duplicated shortcuts in the Programs menu (New ROM included program I had to install to the old one by default, but in a different location), various apps not working correctly, or ultimately bricked device (hang at WM Boot screen - HR required) - it ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR SETUP. As a rule of the thumb I would say the more apps you have the more likely you are to encounter some problems.
[General Questions and Answers] Cowbell_Guy:
II have been using the google apps... they seem OK. Was just wondering if anyone could recommend any other apps for PDF, excel, word viewing etc. Ideally something small, fast, and lightweight.
[General Questions and Answers] Freewander10:
Quickoffice was a great, lightweight app that had the ability to view and edit most documents in one place. But unfortunately, it was discontinued by Google and broken up into the multiple apps you see today (Google docs, slides, etc)

You can still find older working versions of it on apkmirror. But I've also got the last decent version which I'll upload somewhere if you're interested.
[General Questions and Answers] Cowbell_Guy:
I remember quickoffice... that was an awesome app. If you happen to have a working copy somewhere I'd really appreciate a link!
[General Questions and Answers] Freewander10:
Here you go

Quickoffice.apk

I also changed the app's signature so you won't be prompted to update from the playstore ;)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] shur23:
Hi guys,

Could someone please confirm if the Nova Launcher's Direct Dial shortcuts work in the new Mate 9 EMUI 5.

I'd be happy to upgrade but there's one thing that's stopping me.

I've been using my Mate 7 running KitKat 4.4.2 and EMUI 3.0 for a couple of years now. It's my main business tool. I basically got stuck with it as any further firmware update was ruining the Direct Dial function in my Nova Launcher, and I highly rely on it. It was failing to dial with "permission denied" error. They say it's a problem with EMUI but there's NO fix. I tried every possible way to make it work.

PS I know you can get other direct dial apps, but unfortunately they can't be assigned to Nova's gestures, and that's how I need it.

Thank you
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] rsm86:
I'm using romaur 1.5 and I'm on the beta program for nova prime. At some point it started working again. Couldn't tell you what it was though, I think maybe the latest version of nova fixed it on their end.

This problem bugged me for a very long time, but now it seems this ROM and phone does almost everything I want and how I want. I come from a nexus 5, so the lack of options here was a very sore spot at first but now I'm a happy camper and this bug was the last thing that bothered me.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] shur23:
Thanks mate, I'll keep rom aur 1.5 in mind as a workaround. Would love to hear if anyone's tested it with the stock ROM.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] SilvaSurf:
no it does not. I have the latest B185 update and it's the same error you mentioned. I contacted both Huawei and Nova Launcher developers, they are pointing finger to each other each blaming the other party. :(

I'm using an app to speed dial.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] SecretPotatoChip:
Hi. My droid turbo is currently on the September 1, 2016 security patch, build number MCG24.251-5. There is a system update available for a later security patch that I know fixes sunshine.

This update bugs me every time I restart my phone and I have to disable motorola update services every time.

There is also an issue where the volume control stays on the screen forever after adjusting the volume until I touch the screen. I was wondering if the latest update would fix that.

My main question is does sunshine support the droid turbo for the MCG24.251-5-5 build/latest security patch? If so, should I update?

Thanks.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
If your bootloader is not unlocked, you should unlock your bootloader NOW. Do not take any updates past your current until you unlock your bootloader.

The next OTA (MCG24.251-5-5) -- which you mention -- blocks Sunshine.

Nothing "fixes" Sunshine, it's not broken. ;) MCG24.251-5-5 BLOCKS Sunshine.

Why don't people UNLOCK their bootloader first chance they get? I don't understand waiting. Waiting for what? Then one day the OTA installs when you're not paying attention, and then you're locked down forever.

EDIT: IF your bootloader is already unlocked with Sunshine and you have TWRP installed, you can safely update to firmware which includes that OTA:

[ROM] MCG24.251-5-5 100% Stock

https://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/general/rom-mcg24-251-5-5-100-stock-t3565795

You would flash that with TWRP. Once your bootloader is unlocked and you have TWRP installed, you never need worry about "OTA" ever again. Any updates will be posted here in this forum, which you can flash easily via TWRP or other method.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
If you're asking if the update will undo what Sunshine did and re lock your bootloader, the answer is no. It is safe to take the OTA ONLY if you unlocked BEFORE taking it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] SecretPotatoChip:
The bootloader has never been unlocked and the phone is not rooted. If I update, can I still unlock with sunshine?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
NO. If you update before unlocking the bootloader you are screwed.

Read our replies instead of asking the same question again.

Is there something under unclear about this?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] SecretPotatoChip:
OK chill out.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
No, READ the replies people take the time to post. You asked for help, we try to help.

There's some people who keep asking the same question again and again when they don't like the answer. ;)

At least you haven't updated yet to the point of no return. You can still unlock your bootloader via Sunshine, and then safely update to that firmware.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] SecretPotatoChip:
This phone is my daily driver. I do not want to do anything that would force me to factory reset or lose my snapchat Streaks. I have data on this phone I would rather not lose. If it wasn't my daily driver, I would have installed multiple roms already. I hope you can understand that. No, im not old enough for a job and I upgrade this December.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
You're worried over nothing. You can save your data off and you won't lose your streaks:

People have logged in for friend's to keep streaks alive, logging in from other devices. You just save off your data you don't want to lose (pictures, videos, etc). When everything is configured, you install Snapchat back on.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] SecretPotatoChip:
OK. You're right. I just tested sunshine now and it works. Only issue is I'm too young for a credit card or PayPal. I'll probably unlock the bootloader, then use Magisk and hide it so that I can use snapchat.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
They have other ways of paying also, like Amazon gift cards. You can buy those in convenience stores, pharmacies, supermarkets. Many other types of gift cards too. Go to the Sunshine site, they explain.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] SecretPotatoChip:
Really? I haven't heard about that or maybe I didn't look hard enough. I have money in Google play and can buy an amazon card easily. If that's true, I would unlock the bootloader as soon as I have the amazon gift card.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
http://theroot.ninja/purchase.html
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] SecretPotatoChip:
Awesome. When I get the amazon gift card, do I enter the code on the gift card into sunshine?

I'm sorry if I'm pestering you with questions, but I want to be absolutely sure I do this right.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Go to their site (link above), open a customer support ticket (upper right on that site page), and they'll tell you exactly what to do.

They also have a live chat system for customer support.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] SecretPotatoChip:
OK. Thank you!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
You could buy a Visa gift card and use that as a credit card.

Oh nm. Looks like you worked it out.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jackdh:
The phone worked underwater as it had done many times before.

(I know I know water resistant not proof)

Although this time one hour after being removed from the water and dried the phone bricked.

It's been a day or so now and still no sign of life. Is the phone a goner or is it possible to repair it?

(I've seen some people selling water repair on ebay is that a thing which works?)

Thank you

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xzize98:
Hello!

I have a problem with my Moto E XT1021, I can't use as a phone because mi IMEI is corrupted or deleted, when I dial *#06# it says:

IMEI
0

I live in Mexico, the phone is Movistar and originally came with Android 4.4.4 Kit Kat, but 2 days ago it shut down and wont turn on, it was stuck in the Motorola logo, so I decided to Unlock the Bootloader and Flash the stock ROM but after that, it started to show errors related to google applications and services, so I decided to flash it again but this time with Android 5.1 Lollipop but when it started, it asked me for the unlock SIM code, which I don't have, so, again, I decided to turn back again to Kit Kat. No problems until it started and I noticed that it got no signal, "No Service" specifically. I investigated why was this happening and discovered that this is an IMEI error, so I dialed *#06# and it showed the message above. I have tried many ways to restore it, including Engineer mode and reflashing it, but I still get this error.

Is there anyway to restore my IMEI in my moto e 1st gen?

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysteoa:
Here is what happened. I was playing Crashlands when I noticed that my battery is at 3%. So ran to get my Quick charger to get some power fast. After connecting it, I tried to unlock the screen and it went black after a second. So I was thinking that it just shutdown because of low battery. I pressed the power button and noting happens, just the red light showing it was charging. Then I tried soft restart (power + volume up) and it vibrated 3 time and probably shutdown. From that point noting I did started the phone. Even using the off button next to the Sim tray. When I connected it to my PC is ether recognized as Unknown USB device or SOMC Flash Device. I should probably mention that the phone was hot from the game before connected it the charger.

I had the phone for one year and a bit. It is not rooted and i just recently installed the lattes update from Sony. Currently I have it put to charge, at least it looks like it is charging (gets little hot).

Is my phone bricked or something else? What should I do?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fullkeys:
I have same problem like this.

Hope someone can help us.

QHSUSB_DLOAD device will show when Connected PC.You can use Flashtool to install the driver.

[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] jasonmerc:
Once again I'm back trying to port Lineage 13 to the XT1607 using squid2/moto8916 CM13 device, vendor, and kernel trees. Everything builds successfully, and even flashes to my phone in TWRP just fine. The problem is when I try to boot, my device is stuck on the boot logo. Not the boot animation, the boot LOGO. Normally the device will show the boot logo for 3-5 seconds before vibrating lightly and moving on to the boot animation, but my build doesn't even get to the vibration stage.

Is there any way I can get a logcat or dmesg to diagnose the problem at this very early stage of boot? This is my 3rd attempt at building a ROM (none of which were successful) so I have no idea what I'm doing here...
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] rajatgupta1998:

[Huawei Mate 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chibixzero:
I've been looking for themes for my Mate 9 and to be honest none I found online are up to my expectations. (I'm not trying to talk bad about the authors who made them) But I decided to make my own. The only information I found was the thread of the Theme app downloaded from the play store but that doesn't seem to work at least not to my specifications. so I kept researching and learn that the .HWT are just ZIP files renamed with a different extension. So I downloaded an already made theme and I unzipped and just for testing purposes, I replace all graphics with my own including the colors in the XML file Repack it and renamed it testing.zip then change it to testing.HWT and loaded up in my themes folders and when I tried loading it didn't show on my theme menu on the phone. The one I downloaded and use as a base also didn't work.

I went to the Huawei Site for some info and found out you have to be a developer to even see the documents and to top it all off they don't have any USA based sign ups the closest I found was Mexico. Anyways If anyone has any information on how to make these themes from scratch I would appreciate.

Once I get this going I will post them up here.

[Huawei Mate 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FootSlave:
I think you did everything correct!

But did you made a normal zip file and renamed it?

I think you should select all the files and say 7zip that you want to make an archive!

On the upcoming screen choose STORE from the compression list (no compression)!

Then rename it to .hwt and try again!
[Huawei Mate 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chibixzero:
Yes, I did and all it does is replace images and color over a stock theme. Doesn't give you much control it's like taking a website template and replacing the default logo and other to your colors and liking.

Turn ON in dev options;

-OEM unlock

-Debugging

Turn on your phone in bootloader mode, turn on ADB and write;

- "fastboot oem unlock-go"

Download TWRP that should work with your model (x720 or x727, pick correct) and flash it through bootloader.

- "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" (or another name that your TWRP image in adb folder have)

- "fastboot boot twrp.img" (as same)

After this, your phone should be in Recovery <TWRP> mode. It should ask about keep System Read only.

- Swipe to Allow Modification

If this steps won't help you, you should make wipe. But if you can't install OS now, it's riskable, so I won't to guide you there.

* or if your trouble is a upgrade from stock to stock OS, unlocked bootloader and TWRP can be a problem.
