what does my name have to do with my question? And it's just a screen name and a screen name is just an expression has nothing to do with the person. Also there is no stupid question I was just wondering what people are doing to get the slide to unlock features as well as the swipe of the finger to scroll through screens that's all. But thanks for going on a tantrum about my name and calling me stupid based on a screen name. If anyone would like to point me in the direction of the features I would greatly appreciate it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] xhellionx:
he has a point because your name could be construed as quite offensive to some. in any case, search "slide unlock" on these forums and you will get what you are looking for. i help you because that's what this site is for, even though i'm guessing you are a 15-19yr old white male who listens to Lil' Wayne and thinks it's now OK to use that word because he can identify with it...nevermind the countless years of hatred and racism associated with it...it just sounds "cool." if you do not fit this profile, i apologize but TOO many kids these days have embraced that word thinking it's OK now...it boggles my mind. good luck on your search.

Check out Pointui. It's not a rom per se, just an application you run. It borrows iPhone-like navigation and ui smoothness, but doesn't make it "look" like an iPhone.

Don't care much for your username, but I like how you keep your cool and don't get dragged into the back and forth name calling that these threads can sometimes degenerate into.

I think most if not all in this forum would agree the Kaiser is a better phone than the iPhone in terms of features and functionality. However, I do like the smoothness of the iphone's interface and wish the Kaiser's screen could be as smooth and responsive. There is no iphone ROM, nor should there be, but I have incorporated a few "iPhone like" applications into my Tilt which I think improve it and almost give you the best of both worlds:

1) S2U2

- an iPhone like screensaver/keylock with "slide 2 unlock". Very similar to iphone's and much better than WM's keylock.

2) PocketCM

- a PIM application for contacts and SMS with similar functionality and smoothness to the iphone's contacts application. This application has greatly increased

the speed with which I can find contacts without the use of a stylus.

3) S2V (Slide2View)

- a picture viewer similiar to the iphone's. Is integrated with S2U2 to allow you to set photos as the screensaver for S2U2.

Enjoy!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] j.a:
As far as a

"rom"

that makes your phone look like an iphone, that not going to happen.

Now to make it look like an iphone, as the previous poster stated use those apps (s2u2, pocketcm, s2v), thats a good start.

Now for the actual interface, your best bet is to check out the forums for 2 applications called: Wisbar Advanced Desktop and Wisebar Advance 3. These 2 apps let you customize your interface too look like an iphone or however else you want it to look. Keep in mind that these 2 apps are not free, but they are really cheap to buy. The link for them is http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/. Like I said check out their forums because people have already made themes doing what you want.

Good Luck.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcaldo:
Hi.

Apologies if this is a very naive question, I am not particularly familiar with mods, roms and so forth.

I have rooted another phone in the past, but that is all.

The situation:

- Samsung Galaxy Nexus

- Not rooted/unlocked. Stock android automatically updated to the latest Android version supported

- Android developer option NOT set in settings

- Stuck in a boot loop: boots to android and then after a few seconds reboots, so no time to do anything

- Not sure how it happened, I had it for years, it was in my pocket and suddenly started doing that.

- Android fastboot and recovery loads up no problem

- I have tried anything I could find online to fix it: deleted cache, rebooted in safe mode, removed battery for 10 hours

- Nothing seems to fix it, it keeps rebooting

- I want to try a factory reset, but my family photos are in the phone

- Google synch seems to have stopped functioning for this device a year ago, all my 2016-17 photos and videos are locked in the phone.

Admitting there is nothing to do about the loop problem:

Is there any way I can copy photos and videos via usb while in recovery mode?

After I will reset the phone via recovery menu, hoping it will fix it. IF that does not fix it, I will flash another rom in. But I really do not want to wipe my data before backing them up.

I am assuming the answer is no, you cannot access the internal memory in fastboot/recovery unless your phone is rooted.

But I would like an expert opinion before I resolve to wipe one year of photos and videos which I will regret losing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ____Mdd:
[MENTION=8295824]mcaldo[/MENTION] DON'T DO FACTORY RESET, EVERYTHING WILL BE LOST

which recovery are you using..?

if it's TWRP, then it's easy..

- boot into TWRP recovery

- go to "Mount" tab

- find "enable/disable MTP" button at lower options.. (enable it )

then connect your phone to that PC, where you always connected in past, ( to eliminate driver installation stage, all drivers will be preinstalled )

Regards :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcaldo:
Thanks for your reply!

By recovery, I meant 'android system recovery'

It gives me the following options:

reboot system now

apply update from ADB

apply update from USB drive

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

Is any of the above useful?

Unfortunately, I do not have any alternative recovery software available :(

Edit: Googling I found this: "Apply update from ADB: The Android Debug Bridge allows you to plug your device into your PC and issue commands from there. "

If I can issue commands through ADB, perhaps there is a command to copy data from my phone to my computer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ____Mdd:
Yes, you can copy through adb commands..

Get and extract Minimal ADB and Fastboot from here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

From PC, run CMD to extracted folder directory.

Connect phone to PC, go to update from ADB(in recovery),

Type "adb device" , it will show serial number and connected..

Then "adb pull /sdcard " (if you know particular directory of data then write it like /sdcard/photos,, otherwise writing /sdcard will copy all folders from your phone. )

it will start copying to same adb folder ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcaldo:
Thanks for the advice.

I followed the instructions closely, and nearly got there.

adb devices returns

#serialnumber sideload

so all good

but adb pull /sdcard returns

adb: error connect failed: closed

I tried several other commands with no success

kill-server and start-server work fine but do not solve the problem

adb usb returns

error closed

So, I am starting thinking that the problem is in the bootloader being locked.

However, if I unlock it, it will be wipe all my data, I understand?

Googling about it, I found this:

The behavior is status-by-design. Your stock recovery is not designed to grant shell access. Your only choice here is to somehow manage to flash a custom recovery. – Firelord Dec 30 '15 at 14:19

To achieve something similar to what [MENTION=6257538]FireLord[/MENTION] suggested: TWRP can be booted on many devices without being installed. For that, find a matching image, then boot to the bootloader and run fastboot boot twrp.img. Btw: you can check with fastboot devices resp. adb devices whether a device is visible to the corresponding tool. – Izzy♦ Jul 8 '16 at 19:40

So I understand one could boot TWRP without installing it, but I am not sure if that means I could do that with the bootloader locked?

I found WugFresh nexus root toolkit which seems to do that, among many other things, but again it warns that the phone must be unlocked (using the android build "Android *.* Any", I did not know what else to choose, not sure if that makes any difference as for locked/unlocked requirements)

EDIT: my fastboot screen reads "FASTBOOT STATUS - Failbootloader locked" as the last line, when trying to run TWRP without installing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ____Mdd:
Yes, unlocking bootloader will wipe everything..

What actually you did ? Why it went into bootloop ???

I have also read that about boot into TWRP without installing.. and it worked for many one without unlocking bootloader... Don't know why not on GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcaldo:
A very good question, to which I have no answer, unfortunately.

The phone was used by my wife for 2 years and then by me for other 2. I recently changed the battery.

Never rooted or unlocked. No unusual apps installed. I am a very basic user, as you might have guessed, and being my only phone at the moment, I really would not risk experimenting with it.

It went very slow over the last 4 months, so I was planning to reset it.

I put in my coat pocket for a few hours, when I took it out it had a train ticked stuck to the screen and was quite warm and on the lock screen. It froze, so I took the battery out and restarted it. From then on it is stuck in a loop, not sure why really.

That's good to know. I'll research more than.

It seems there might be a problem with the fastboot drivers on my computer, even selecting them from device manager did not work. Win7 refuses to install. The ADB drivers in theory work fine though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ____Mdd:
If you have done nothing modification to system, then wiping data should work, but i have doubt if it also wipes personal data too, on TWRP it wipes data excepting /data/media/ which contains all personal data.. but don't know about wiping on stock recovery...

I hope you will find solution as soon as possible..

Regards.

PS. I can install stock recovery and try wiping /data.. and check what things get wiped.. but i need little time for that experiment...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcaldo:
Thanks so much.

Looking at google's documentation on the nexus:

It would seem that indeed all data will be removed.

This point, I will research a bit more into drivers, in case that is what it's preventing adb pull from working.

I really need a working phone, so if that fails I will hard reset, then unlock, root, flash in an alternative bootloader and perhaps a rom, and put ubuntu touch in dual boot. That will hopefully prevent me from loosing data in the future.

Sorry, this is out of topic to my question, but, , could you suggest any stable, solid rom for the nexus?

I read good things of CM12, and I ran into one which seemed to do to quite well with split windows, but I do not remember the name right now.

EDIT: I remember the name of the rom now, it's https://omnirom.org/about/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcaldo:
A last question if you can..

I tried to solve my boot loop problem by sideloading an update from google (maguro yakju yakju-jwr66y-factory-4cadea65.zip)

It loaded it fine but then failed because the installation it says it is not signed.

Basically, being a stock bootloader recovery from Samsung, it will only sideload OTAs from samsung, not the stock ones from google..

I cannot find the samsung ones anywhere, not for the nexus anyway, just the newer devices..

By any chance do you know where I could download proper Samsung OTA zip updates for the nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcaldo:
Well, I talked with an android developer who confirmed that, unless you have a friend working in criminal forensic technology or similar, there is no way to get around a lock on this phone to pull data out.

So, sadly, I have wiped my phone by unlocking it, flashed TWRP and then omnirom with gapps.

My photos are gone, including a bunch of stuff my kid had made and asked me to photograph for safeeping. Very safe indeed :eek:

He kept asking me why they make the lock like that, instead of allowing some kind of password, perhaps he has a point.

So, it is quite unlikely that somebody who knows as little as I did will ever read this *before* finding themselves in the same situation.

But if you do, back up your data, unlock and flash TWRP, clockworks or some alternative, and thank yourself if and when disaster strikes..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ____Mdd:
[MENTION=8295824]mcaldo[/MENTION] wiping data/factory reset in STOCK RECOvERY will wipe everything... There is very few chances to get backup...

And yeah i found something interesting..

You can flash system.img.. only system files will be corrected not anything else..

Get appropriate zip from here : https://developers.google.com/android/images

Now take system.img to ADB/Fastboot folder ( i assume you know how it works )

Just go "Fastboot flash system system.img"

It will rewrite system partition..

Another one:

See downloads on this thread..

One says NON-WIPE, if you want me to try that zip, i will again require time for that. See here : https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-restore-to-stock-unbrick-galaxy-t2065470

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Carlleduc:
Hi,

I just bought a Xiaomi Note 4 phone from China and I'm not able to instal Google Play properly on it. Here's what happens: I've followed all the steps seen online on how to download Google Play on my device from the Chinese App Store, once the google app is loaded (or leading), it opens up and loads different components one at a time, the process is successful until it reaches 80%, at that point, it asks permission to install Google Play services, I click "install" but then, instead of continuing loading, another page pops in saying " App not installed" (no kidding... that's precisely what I'm trying to do :eek:) and the only option I have is to click on the "DONE" button which stops the whole process and bringing me back to the 80% page. What can I do? Sorry if I'm not clear, I'm so clueless about these things.

Hello,

I've been using my Asus Zenfone 5 for last 3 years. It came with Jelly bean and got updated till Lollipop. After the Lollipop upgrade there were a lot of issues including battery, signaling, storage and apps crashing.

I followed some tuts and recently downgraded to KitKat. Having no issues for now.

I get an on-screen time of 4 hours and 11 minutes. Not sure if it's supposed to be bad or not. I'm looking to flash an AOSP ROM, preferably KitKat or Lollipop based as I'm tired of ZenUI and the poor battery backup.

I've previously used a Moto E, Galaxy SIII and Moto E2. I kept the Zenfone instead because of the better hardware and features it offers.

Also if you link me to a ROM, be sure to link the flashing instructions as well. I'm using dual SIM.
