[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Achi Shukuteki:
Pragmatically and from my perspective, since I am in the same situation searching for a replacement, the short answer is no. Never. I came over from Apple due to the easier customization ability of Android at the time.

I bought the N5 I have now, second-hand, originally for a family member (but they wanted an Apple), so I got stuck with it. Already rom'd. After getting used to the Android system, I said fine, I'm ditching Apple. Not say their stuff is bad. It just wasn't for me.

A broken screen, a new battery, and constantly rebooting to get a signal and nearly 3 years later and updating through first CM and now Pure Nexus.

I run this thing like a nuclear reactor especially during semester months.

Nothing beats it's simplicity. Nothing. It's one of the best pieces of tech I have ever owned and continues to be my daily driver. I did jump ship to an M9 and while a very impressive device. I yearned for my N5 (I thought it was dead). Got it back to functionality and haven't been back. Needless to say, here's what I am mulling over.

Pixel

Nexus 6p

Htc u11

Samsung S7 (or if I hit the lotto S8)

The Moto's. Since the Pure Nexus community is giving them a lot of love right now, especially the one with the crazy battery life but the 625 processor (if it was Daydream compatible I would've gotten it already).

One plus 3t

The high end xiaomi (I forget the model name)

An HTC 10. Another nice and underrated phone.

I can wax poetic about the N5 for days. Nothing beats it's flexibility, simplicity (aforementioned), and usability. Us N5 users do not need the bells and whistles and yet that's nice but we do more with less. I, too, will lament the day my hammerhead finally goes. In the meantime​, I hope my long-winded account helps you out.

Edit: I forgot about the Axon 7.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hipsterdo0fus:
Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately most of them are quite a bit higher in price than we paid for this Nexus. We had actually used the Moto G line prior to this.

I also have to say that since this is for my wife, I may need to watch out on the screen size being overly gigantor. She may not want something that is too much bigger than the N5. That Lenovo is the best in price so far, but for some reason it doesn't have very good rating on Phone Arena. Wonder why?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
I still have my nexus, but upgraded to a Huawei Nova, not the Nova Plus, mainly due to spec improvements and similar screen size. Got 4gb memory and 64gb storage, about the exact same size as the Nexus. I hate the Huawei UI, but CM is available for it now, so not really an issue. It might be a bit pricey though. The Huawei Honor, I think 6x, also has a model that is 5.5in screen.

Not trying to sell Huawei, was just checking the price in the US of the one I have and noticed the Honor was similar. I got the Nova CAZ-AL10 for the specs, price, size, and because it is compatible with the mobile networks here in China. The Nexus was not unfortunately.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InTerTk:
I think an Asus Zenfone 3 might not be a bad option. It has great battery life and it's not too expensive

I had a nexus 5x and just came back to my nexus 5 with a custom rom and I am loving it!!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaniard:
After the lost of my N5, I got an OP 3T and not even rooted it, sweet and fast on stock.

Edit: Actually rooted it and still sweet and fast, the best; more than 8 hours SOT
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KimCheeZZ:
What about leeco pro 3. I own one and it is for sure one of the best phones for its price if not the best (USD 199, might be even lower now) the stock ROM isn't much to chant for but put a custom ROM on it and you're golden. They were running a sale on amazon a few weeks back but I'm not sure about its current availability. Snapdragon 821 with 4 to 6gb of ram and 64gb of storage. The camera is its weakest point but it's honestly not that bad. Battery life is also great averaging 6 SOT on nougat and around 8 on stock. 100% recommend.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr__or:
How about OnePlus 5? I was considering replacing my N5 with it, but I'm not convinced by their previous software support.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
Can it be rooted?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr__or:
Is there a device that can't be rooted? :p I think so far all of the OnePlus devices where pretty open and got root quickly. Given that the OP5 has just been announced today, there is no root yet, but I'd be surprised if there isn't a root mid-july.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
I don't know. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know. I think some devices are said to be easier to root than others which is what I meant to ask. I own a couple of nexus 5s and an old nexus 7 and they are easy to root. Just don't know enough about the op5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToto318:
Sorry I dig up the subject

I think to replace my nexus 5 and I hesitate between the nexus 6p (I find one at 190 euros used) or a nexus 5x (has 100 euros used too) what would be the best choice for you?

Thank you for your answers

Does anyone plz knows how to fix this
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charaza:
hello my friends this is my first post i hope someone provides me a solution and thanks in advance.

i have huawei tit-al00,i had cwm recovery and phone rooted and working for a long time, after i couldn't boot the phone normally and stuck in huawei logo (probably because i installed some apps requiring root and screw the system), i tried installing a firmware called resurrection, i couldn't with cwm and i have read it requires twrp, so i executed these commands in adb

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase data

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

then tried to boot into recovery and i couldn't, i even tried cwm that used to work but didn't work either and now im stuck in fastboot mode

note: i used fastboot boot cwm.img but also didn't work.

if some one could help me i'll appreciate it and thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brandon Indar:
Hi...

Well since it's mediatek, u can ask or message someone that have the same device as yours to take a full backup with mtktools and send u it. So u will just have to flash it with spflash tool.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charaza:
my problem is just with the recovery i don't have any detected at this moment, so is there another way to install twrp without using adb, with mtk droidtools maybe ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brandon Indar:
U can flash the recovery.img through spflash tool but u will need the scatter file and the vcom port drivers installed for ur device.

Flashing with fastboot would be easier.

Just run command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" where "recovery.img" is ur cwm/twrp recovery and it should work once ur bootloader is unlocked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charaza:
I have unlocked bootloader and already worked with cwm, but when I tried to flash twrp with that command I can't go into recovery mode anymore, even if I reinstalled cwm that used to work, so now I think I'll try with spflash tool. Is it possible to extract scatter file from my phone? and thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brandon Indar:
Well in order to get scatter file from phone, u will need to be able to boot into Android with adb enabled. However, u have no is installed and no recovery so it can't work.

To fix ur problem, u will need to find someone who has a phone as yours and ask them to make a full backup with mtktools which will include the scatter file and post it to u.

There are thread found around here for ur device so someone will have ur device and be able to help u out just message them cuz that's the only way to fix ur problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charaza:
i found this is it the correct one? should i save it as txt?

https://gist.github.com/s4704/c94c94c8b6a4d4119d6c4866888cfe45
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brandon Indar:
Yes it seems to be the same, just save it as MT6735_Android_scatter.txt and place it in same folder with ur recovery.img.

Do u know how to flash with spflash tool?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charaza:
i think i should select the scatter file, then check recovery and select twrp.img right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brandon Indar:
Yeh correct...

Hopefully it should work

Good luck!

Have u tried entering recovery using the vol and power buttons?

What happens when u use the buttons?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charaza:
yes i entred the menu where you find 1-recovery, 2-fastboot, 3-normal

recovery: shows huawei logo and after 5s black screen then keeps rebooting

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmaak:
Hi,

My phone's rooted, using the ROM that came with root. I haven't had too many problems with it since rooting, but I've noticed that nothing is rotating. I have Screen Rotation turned on and have even shut it off and turned it on a few times. It hasn't made a difference. I noticed it when I was trying to look at pictures taken in landscape using gallery. They do not rotate. Then I went in to other apps and none of them are rotating either.

Any ideas on how this can be fixed? Since rooting it, I've been keeping my phone to minimal apps. I really don't have much installed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbogeno:

The stock touchwiz launcher doesn't like to sit in any aspect except portrait if u can't get other apps to rotate you may have issue
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmaak:
Before rooting and installing that ROM on my phone, I had no problems with getting images to rotate in the gallery. I think that it has to be this ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojoswagger1980:
Im not gonna lie, i am lost ! I cant remeber what rom this is in reference too. Hmmm touchwiz launcher must be modest rom jasmine rom paulpizz rom or nseven . Lets go with modest (its the most common)while u shouldnt need xposed (this is basic)But i beleive wanam touchwiz module has the options you are missing built into it. alternately you coyld grab a third party rotation control app from the play store or just change launchers. If your heart is set on touchwiz i beleive xposed is your best bet
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmaak:
:)

I don't remember, either. It is whatever came with stuff for rooting 5.1.1. It's been ok for the most part. The only two issues I've had with it are the keyboard missing all of the punctuation and this rotating issue. I'm using Nova for the launcher, but the rotation doesn't work on touchwiz either. I'm thinking of moving to the Note 8, when it comes out, so this might not be something that I have to worry about (be annoyed about) for much longer.

I'll have to look up that wanam touchwiz module that you speak of.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] BolecDST:
Hey guys,

I just unlocked the bootloader in my U11 today and noticed, that I am getting a message as shown in the attachment on every reboot.

With previous phones I didn't really mind the red warning, because it didn't prolong the boot time, but this one forces you to press the power button to continue booting, otherwise you have to wait 5 seconds for the device to continue the boot process. If you press volume down or up buttons it takes you to another menu where you can boot to bootloader, recovery etc, but you need to make the selection within those 5 seconds.

Is it possible to get rid of that somehow?

I'll appreciate any suggestions.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] stifilz:

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Kisakuku:
S-Off for Google Pixel? Did you mean after unlocking bootloader?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
Yes, unlocked only - that was a duhhh moment. No S-0ff for that Pixel. Hope it comes for our U11
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] TheBadBuddha:
Pesky and possibly permanent - without s-off

It is very annoying but just probably the price we pay for being so smart and brazen as to root our devices . if they can't stop us, they'll just get on our nerves.

If anyone has a non s-off solution I'd be grateful.

The warning is a bit like Scrappy-Do - unfortunate, unnecessary and only bearable cos you know Daphne will be on in a minute.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ZerkerEOD:
I have flashed stock from googles web site and I have tried everything I can to get a custom rom back on this device. I have tried everything. every thing I do just boots to regular google. But I can flash twrp, and magisk on stock and it works. OEM is unlocked but as soon as I flash a rom then twrp and sign it, it says its successful for everything but when I boot to system it just reboots a couple times then boots but up to stock. Any one have any ideas?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mac796:
This is normal. Your custom ROM is flashing to the opposite slot your on. When your done u need to reboot to bootloader and boot twrp then install TWRP again and install verified boot signer zip. If not just going to loop once and boot to the slot that works
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ZerkerEOD:
I will try that's next time. I just went through hell trying get back on the RR ROM and rooted with magisk. But I finally got it haha. Took about 20 stock flash's to get it finally working
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mac796:
Yea once you do it a couple of times you will have it down. Just remember from May bootloader's on, you have to use that VBS zip. Also keep track of what slot your on when your flashing
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ZerkerEOD:
I still don't get the slot thing. I was figuring that slot a was stock and slot b was any custom rom guess that wrong
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mac796:
No there the same. You can put whatever on either one. There for normal use. seamless updates they call it I believe.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] robocuff:
The different slots are for seamless updates. If you're using the stock rom and taking OTA's, the OTA gets flashed to whatever slot is currently inactive. It used to be when you did an OTA, the OTA got downloaded and then you'd be prompted to reboot to install the update. When you rebooted, the update would get installed but you had to sit and wait for it to install before you could use your phone again. With the two slots, it now downloads the update and installs it to the inactive slot while you continue to use your phone. Eventually you get prompted to reboot but instead of having to wait for it to install, it just reboots like any other time you reboot the phone and there is no wait for the update to install. It's already installed. When it reboots, it switches to the slot that was previously inactive because that's where the update is installed to. So, if you're on slot A when the update is downloaded and installed, you'll be using slot B after you reboot. The next month when the update comes out, it will get installed to the other slot again and you'll once again be using slot A and so on and so on for every month after that.

For a custom rom, they can be installed on either slot. It just depends on which slot is currently active. If slot A is the slot that's currently active, TWRP will flash the rom to slot B. If B is active, the rom will get flashed to A. Anything else gets flashed to the slot that is currently active (SuperSU, Vendor files or what have you). That's why after flash the rom, you have to reboot the phone (either reboot to recovery or the OS) before flashing the rest of whatever it is you want to flash. If you don't reboot before flashing SuperSU or whatever, it won't get flashed to the same slot the rom got flashed to and obviously, this causes issues. Bottom line is, slot A or B, it has nothing to do with whether it's a stock or custom rom. Whichever slot is inactive when you flash a rom is the slot the rom will end up on.

For magnetic wireless charging mounts, they recommend installing some magnetic strips on to the phone. If I install this onto the case instead (who wants to put iron strips on their phone???) would that cause interference or break the LED view case?

Pixel Launcher ODR-4023749 Backport for Android 6.0.1+​

​

​

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I'm boring and I keep posting the same thing over and over after each Developer Preview from Android O 8.0 releases... But I needed to do this backport for my SHIELD Tablet anyways, so I really don't mind sharing it here. Find this irrelevant and repetitive, feel free to close the thread.

So... Yet another time, the title says it all.

This is a quick (I spent 3 hours on it) backport of the Pixel Launcher ODR-4023749, extracted from the Android O (8.0) Developer Preview 3. I extracted the APK from the sailfish (Google Pixel) and tested it on my SHIELD Tablet, and as it wasn't working I modded it so that it'd work just fine on any Android 6.0.1+ devices.

I have implemented the Google's signature verification patch, as according to this thread so that the application doesn't Force Close on launch, as well as all the goodies from the Pixel Launcher O-3952143 v2 backport.

I've tested the application in my SHIELD Tablet running official LineageOS 13.0 nightlies, as well as in my Wileyfox Swift 2 with Android 7.1.1, and seems to be working like a charm with latest Google Play Services installed.

However, like last time I'd like to roll call all of you to please, test it and report back with any issue you find.
