Good Evening/Hello/Hi,

I own a Nexus 5X and I am running Android O Preview 3 using the Nova Launcher 5.2

Phone is not rooted and bootloader is still locked.

I recently downloaded the Android O Preview 3 OTA update directly f System Update settings. I was just before the OTA update running Android 0 Preview 2.

Problem :

Once the device updated and rebooted everything is working like a charm. Except, I found out that some of my widgets on my home-screen are not working anymore.

I can only see a grey rectangle with an Play icon and under written Setup. (see image attached)

I had 3 of those widgets and they were all "My Play Library" (One for My Movies, My Books and My Newstand).

When I try to re-add it from the widget menu. It's nowhere to be found it completely disappeared.

Any other people have this problem. Got a way to fix this ?

It was working correctly on Android 0 Preview 2.

I even tried to reboot and wipe the cache partition, tried also to change to another launcher like google now launcher to see if problem was related to Nova Launcher but still it's not there at all in either cases.

[/LIST]

Thank You

Woke up this morning and mine was gone too. Looked exactly like your screenshot. I didn't install any updates though, I'm still stuck on Marshmallow, it was just gone. Google probably just killed it out of nowhere, as Google does.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nayners:
This also happened to me. I'm wondering if it will ever come back. Any ideas for an alternative widget in the meantime?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnyapps:
Happened to me today as described. Sucks as it was my favourite feature to have all my books on my home screen.

Current solution was to add a folder using root explorer to data/app called com.android.vending-1.apk then go to airplane mode and force stop Play Store and uninstall updates. That reverted my Play Store app and prevented it from auto updating which will do for now.

Will link source to that tip when not on mobile.

Also interested in alternative widgets for this purpose.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broncop3t3:
Yeah, I noticed mine was gone too. I hope they add it back...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindastuff:
Adding more. Happen on my old nexus 7 2013. Definitely linked to Google removing the widget from the play store apk. Dammit it was a great widget. I could easily see my movies books and magazine. I'm pissed they did this without notice.

What a bummer! Gone for me too, on a completely stock Galaxy Tab S3 running Nougat. I used it for the digital magazines I subscribe to in Google Play Newsstand and it just disappeared without any notice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanttii:
Dammit Google. I used that for books too, on a 12" tablet, full screen. It was awesome. Why not fix it instead of removing it just like that? There are many of us who liked it a lot. Geez.

i want to export the functioning version of lumia camera as i have just reset my phone and disabled auto updates. i will then share the .xap file for everyone to use. is it possible to do so using interop tools ?

also is there a registry key that can be modified to prevent lumia camera app from auto updating ? thanks in advance
[Windows 10 Mobile] djtonka:
yep, no one did it before , meaning upload Nokia/Lumia camera :/
[Windows 10 Mobile] augustinionut:
Deployed xaps cant be updated. So you need to copy the install folder inside data/programs/camera app, erase WMAppPRHeader.xml, zip the content, change zip to xap extension and .... voila.
[Windows 10 Mobile] ash549k:
any ideas how i can access these folders ? interop tools perhaps ?
[Windows 10 Mobile] greenpurplishpumpkin:
Turn the full system access via interop tools, restart phone, then plug your phone to PC. There you can access it thru windows explorer.
[Windows 10 Mobile] ash549k:
thanks for the reply. i enabled system access via mtp and looked for the installation location of lumia camera app through interop tools. it says its stored in C:/Data/Programs/WindowsAPPS/ however the windows apps folder is empty for me. i tried ticking show hidden files on my pc but still no luck. any ideas ?
[Windows 10 Mobile] augustinionut:
Only xaps in data/programs. In C:/Data/Programs/WindowsAPPS/ are appx, but i dont know how to repack.

The exynos have an unlocked bootloader, the "unlocked" other version only has unlocked sim. The exynos will allow root, however root trips knox, and therefore breaks Samsung Pay.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
I'm using a UK version and it's pretty flawless. Samsung Pay works out of the box. I bought it from a UK authorized reseller so its got a two year warranty (in the UK - I pay to ship it there) and BTU is typically in front of the line for updates. It has no bloatware but none of the unlocked versions do. I had a AT&T version first and the Exynos version seems a tad more fluid and responsive.

It has all AT&T's LTE bands except for 30 and gets better LTE speeds than the AT&T version. Do a search, there's a thread on it.

I'm going to sell it when the Note8 comes out and it was cheaper to buy outright and will fetch more when I resell it. I liked it so much I bought a EU LTE Tab S3 to keep it company. ;) It doesn't do VoLTE or Wi-Fi calling but that too is common to unlocked phones.

OPO with CrDroid rom - getting error, "download failed due to missing SD card"

Anyone ever come across this issue? I'm running the latest build of CrDroid (v3.4) and ever since the update I've been getting this error every time I try downloading an image. I have plenty of space in my internal storage so I don't understand why it's looking for an SD card.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm from Canada. Got the OTA update notification today. It downloads, and verifies it. Phone then restarts, starts installing the update and at about 71% when it switches to "verifying update package" it errors out with "Software Install Failed". Phone is not rooted. ive tried like 7 times and different wifi networks. After each restart, the phone re-downloads the package again. Any thoughts?

I use an Excel spreadsheet to do my monthly budget, and I wanted to add xls file to my home screen for easier access. I was able to add it successfully, but when I try to open it I get a message that reads, "As of Nougat, Android disallows loading shortcuts such as this that include links to SD card file data (for security reasons)." Is there any way around this? It's not a big deal if there isn't, but it would be a lot more convenient to access it from the home screen rather than having to open it through my file manager, or load it with the Excel app every time. Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tlman12:
Have had the phone for a while now but for some reason recently the phone will randomly shut off. Some times it will immediately start booting back up but more often then not it will just stay black. holding the power button does not turn it back on and some times even holding the power down and the power button doesn't work I just have to wait. I'm not sure whats going on.

The problem is this most recent time it did this and the light was solid blue. after a while a green light started to flash slowly while the blue was still illuminated but the phone would not power on no matter what I tried. I took the back glass off and got to the battery plug and unplugged it (thinking that it was just a hard freeze) now i have no lights and I can't power it on. I don't even get a battery or any lights when I plug the power in.

Has anyone seen anything like this or could give me any other troubleshooting steps I could try to follow? I've put the wireless charger and retainer and screws back in but haven't resealed the back glass in case I have to go back in.

So I opened the phone as disconnected what I think was the screen and some other plug on the bottom left of the mobo maybe the touch synthosizer? I let it sit for about 15 20 mins charging. I plugged all the connectors back in and it booted properly.

Why did that work?

Now that it's up I did a factory reset put apps on one at a time and using Snapchat causes the phone to shut off.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sleepyspider:
I can't seem to find a rom anywhere that supports wifi calling /w tmobile for the Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 with an android version > 5.0.0. Ideally the higher the version the better.

I installed Lineage OS 14.1 android ver 7.1.2, but I couldn't find the setting anywhere or it's just not available. I do like this rom a lot, except for that missing feature.

What do you guys suggest? I don't want to go and download a bunch of roms and install them just to see if they have that one feature.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ryuk27335:
I disassembled my phone lately for maintenance reasons, The battery was out for about 30 minutes, (My phone already had a trouble keeping the clock even though the battery was taken out for a short period), after assembling the phone, it booted up properly till the lock screen appeared and it all became black. software and hardware buttons were working properly, but the LCD itself was totally black.

I booted-up the phone in recovery mode and wiped everything from system, data, to cache, and then installed the newest version of Lineage. After booting the system gave me "process system isn't responding" and close and wait options with infinite bootloops.

I tried installing the full stock Rom and it gave me "setting has stopped working" and "google play services has stopped working".

My guess then was the time on the device, so I went back into recovery opened a shell session and fixed the time using "date" and "hwclock", but it never worked.

After searching online I found that this might be a battery issue, so I bought a new one, and guess...It didn't work either.

I really need help with this device! :crying:

_____________________________________

Solved it by installing the NJ2:

Wiped everything, then installed the stock rom using odin 3.10, after that the system kept telling me the same messages, so I went back and installed twrp 3.10 .. I guess .. then wiped everything except for the system and internal memory, then I corrected my clock using this method:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/help/how-to-edit-time-hardware-time-using-t3621875

and frankly it worked! and booted up normally.

Sadly I wasn't able to install any linage version! ... I hope that I find the solution so soon!

Use wakelock detector, and/or experiment with kernel setting apps, like ex kernel manager (If you dont know what youre doing, than just try some different governors, CPU frequencys and IO schedulers)

Uninstall unneeded apps, freeze some apps with titanium, heres a list of some apps you can freeze https://m.imgur.com/gallery/joPDj

You can even try and disable fastboot (Hidden settings menu) if you use 3G https://youtu.be/O8L50sCY7CI hope I could help

This is totally abnormal - I have 0.3% per hour when the phone is idling.

You have something installed which prevents your phone from sleeping. Check with Better Battery Stats or GSAM Battery Monitor. Or perform a factory reset.

Or root your phone and debloat it.

-------------------------------------------------

What does make that Kernel special?

This is literally the first kernel with Energy Aware Scheduling for Sony Xperia.

It took weeks to make anything working but the work was worth at the end

-------------------------------------------------

Requirements:

You just need these things:

A Xperia Z5 Premium

TWRP Recovery

-------------------------------------------------

How to install my Kernel?

It's truly easy:

Download the Zip on Download section (Second Post)

Reboot into Recovery

Flash the downloaded Zip

It will do by itself all what you need ;)

-------------------------------------------------

Source Code/Repositories?

Take a look here:

https://github.com/PDesire/XperiaSatsukiEliteKernel

-------------------------------------------------

FAQ:

Why does my CPU behave so kinda weird?

Well EAS is different than what we normally know (HMP), if you think the CPU behavior is abnormal, it is just because EAS does handle tasks differently

My device got hard bricked, do you fix it for me?

It's a Kernel so you have to be responsible for any damages!

But it should not damage your phone.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] Tilman:
Booted just fine on my E6883, will test for sometime, & let you know of how it behaves. Thanks again for your much hard work of not letting our Z5 Premium die!!

Okay, it definitely runs cooler, I rebooted several times already, & its not as hot at stock would be. But I think that's cause of all the big cores being turn off, that's the behaviour I noticed after the phone booted.

Also, is it normal that two big cores always remain active? In stock, only one does. You should maybe educate a little more on what to expect with this kernel.

Okay, after a bit of a settling, its back to one big core always active like stock behaviour.

And by the way, SafetyNet doesn't pass with Magisk, I use Magisk v12 with Magisk root. Hope in the future something can be done here.

I know it's just the first release & I might be bugging you with the requests, but I noticed the boot time is a bit longer than the usual stock. And if at all this is possible, could you reduce the backlight during boot like in Zach's SunKernel?

And would I be losing the Energy Aware Scheduling if I switch to Interactive governor for both Big & Little cores?
