Earlier, as you might know, Nova was the undisputed king of launchers having hell lot of the customizations along with the fluidity. But recently, Apex Launcher and Action Launcher has also caught upto it, if not crossed over; and there has been new entries in the game.

So following will be my top picks :

1. Nova Launcher (FREE | PRIME)

2. Apex Launcher (FREE | PRO)

3. Action Launcher (FREE)

4. Pixel Launcher by Google, (Android O) (PS | APKmirror)

5. LawnChair, your open source light-weighted launcher. This is the one I've been using from some time now. (gitHub releases | XDA thread)

Other worthy options

6. Google Now Launcher (FREE)

7. Evie Launcher (FREE)

8. Arrow Launcher by Microsoft FREE)

9. Z Launcher by Nokia (FREE)

Well there are a tons of them but these were my top picks. For fluidity and best user experience you should definitely go with Nova. LawnChair, I've been using, is also very good and comes for no cost. Nova can be customised and made to give you any kind of look with all those icon packs and customisations. But you don't want to do the hard work yourselves, Arrow Launcher is pretty good for UI. Z is good looking but isn't stable and hasn't been updated in ages. Apart from these there are like the Apus or Go or CM, which I would say are basically adwares; atleast that's what I like to think. Also there are these iOS and Mi like launchers which doesn't fetaure any application drawer and I find them very messy to manage. It takes so much time just to search for the app you want.

So now its totally upto you what you want to go with. My best wishes to you.

EDIT - One thing I forgot to mention is about Google Cards. Google Cards first came for the Pixels and later Nexus', which are basically google gathering all the relevant info from your google searches and on-screen activity on your phone and then displaying the relevant information. Its very useful and gives you continuous alerts about the traffic congestion or the weather and news updates relevant to you, or if their is a meeting coming up, or it's someone's birthday. So what I'm trying to say is, its pretty useful. Earlier you needed root permissions for this to use on other devices, but some time ago Nova and, I think, Action too has included this feature without root, so you can just swipe from left edge of your home screen to see your google cards. So that's definitely was a point worth mentioning. I don't know if any other launcher does provide this functionality. Hell even Google's Pixel Launcher doesn't (Google now too, ofcourse). But, then again, there's LawnChair too. Now, I remember why I'm hooked up to it from the last two months ;-B

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasgruver:
HI all... hope you can help. After doing some research, I fear I may be lost.

I have an Iconia b1-720 I use for home automation. Started getting the "unfortunately, com.android.settings has stopped". I would go away for a bit, but always come back (along with other similar warnings.

I decided to just power/volume reset to factory settings... since it's pretty easy to put the apps I need back on the device. But, while that wiped my device, now it just boots to that message immediately. If I "ok" out of it, it comes right back. Nothing I can do to make it go away.

Looked into rooting, but all the directions I found say you need to turn on developer mode in settings to be able to do that. Alas, I can't go into settings :)

Any help/thoughts, other than junking this?

As an FYI... I know that I can get a cheap replacement of a different model, but I can't find any of the 720's any longer. I've custom build picture frames to hold this specific device, along with a cutout for where the camera is (detects motion and turns on), so i'd love to get this working again.

Thanks for any pointers.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] helder.vice:
Hello everyone.

I believe that the A3 2017 should have the Camera2 API on the stock Nougat rom.

Can someone please confirm this?

Does the build.prop have:

persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=0

or

persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

I would like to know this before actually buying the device.

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] helder.vice:
[MENTION=5752348]AK2H[/MENTION] Could you add the persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 line and try with Open Camera to see if it does indeed take dng photos ?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] AK2H:
In which line should i add it exactly?

And what are the differences that should I see to recognize if it did work or not?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] helder.vice:
You can add the line anywhere, the position doesn't matter.

To see if it worked, using Open Camera (or any other app that shoots RAW, just enable RAW capture) you should have a .jpg and a .dng file for every photo you take.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] AK2H:
I added the line and saved the chenges and rebooted (also I didn't notice what was the file permissions before I modified it, so I set it to rw--r--r anyway because that's the norm for most cases)

I installed open camera app form play store and enabled the (Use Camera2 API) option.

Took a picture and checked the pics folder and i found the picture in .jpg only
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] helder.vice:
Did you use a root file browser?

Some file browsers do not see the .DNG files

Thank you for trying it !

Wish you a pleasant weekend!

OnePlus 5 Flashable Firmware and Modem files

This thread was created to have a place to collect and offer flashable firmware and modem ZIP files for the OnePlus 5 (a.k.a. Cheeseburger). They have been extracted from the OxgenOS OTA updates provided by OnePlus.

Downloads can be found in Post #2.

My work is not creating this firmware directly, it is simply packaging it up with a script so you don't have to flash the entire OTA and wipe/encrypt your device in order to use the latest firmware.

Let's keep this thread friendly and informative, and share links to this thread please (not direct downloads) so users will know where they can discuss flashing issues and errors, etc.

Peace!

[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] void23:
Whatever I do, my custom build kernels fail to boot. There's the ZUK logo very briefly, then device drops to bootloader screen. I'm out of ideas what I'm doing wrong, maybe someone here can give me a hint. :good:

I've tried with current AEX kernel git snapshot and also stock kernel sources. Building using the AEX_defconfig goes ok, I have Image.gz, replace it in previously extracted "stock" boot image and use mkbootimg.py to rebuild the new image. Offsets etc. are all correct (I think), like this: (from AEX)

kernel=kernel
ramdisk=ramdisk
page_size=4096
kernel_size=9101281
ramdisk_size=2671109
base_addr=0x80000000
kernel_offset=0x00008000
ramdisk_offset=0x01000000
tags_offset=0x00000100
cmd_line='androidboot.hardware=qcom ehci-hcd.park=3 lpm_levels.sleep_disabled=1 cma=32M@0-0xffffffff buildvariant=userdebug'
board=""
format=gzip

But the damn new image won't boot, like described above. There has to be something (probably very stupid) I'm missing... :confused:

If I replace my own Image.gz with the originally extracted one and mkboot and so on, it's ok. So I guess it has something to do with my kernel build and/or environment. Are there any subsequent steps needed to do with the compiled kernel Image.gz? Or is it just my kernel config which is wrong? But I'm using the AEX defconfig (n7x-caf_z2_row_defconfig, to be exactly) so this should be fine, no?
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] void23:
Ok, I've got it. I had forgottten (=didn't know about at all) to append the device tree blob (arch\arm64\boot\dts\qcom\msm8996-v3-pmi8996-mtp.dtb) to kernel zImage... Simply cat'ing these together works!

android 6.0 unrootable?

Hello I myself have just bought the tab 2 a10-70f with android 5 on it. Updated straight to marshmallow which works fine. However would like to get rid of stock android apps and bloatware taking up room. Have tried several times with kingroot then kingoroot which have all failed. Contacted online support for kingroot who said the tablet on android 6 is unrootable and probably always will be.

Does anyone know a way to root this on android 6 or if not how do I return it to android 5 and then root it? if root on android 5 would root still be active if update to android 6?

thanks for any help as bit stuck now.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Dharmost:
Good evening everyone, i'm having a serious issue with my samsung A5. It was rooted, with custom recovery and custorm rom (Android 6.1 i think).

2 Days ago, a chewingum got stuck on my screen. I tried to remove it with nail paint remover, it did the trick but then my home button stopped working: the button itself can be pressed normally, but it won't work. I also experienced randomly long home button press actions, so i decided to turn them off. I thought that few drops of liquid may actually have gone beneath the home button. Few hours later, i experienced more issues: volume going up without anyone pressing the button (and the buttons are not stuck at all, and that side never got close to liquids), power button not doing his job etc. I tried to do a soft reset by recovery (cleaning cache and dalvik) but i ended up aslo factory resetting it for a distraction. Reconfigured the device, everything was back to normal (except the home button) but then i also experienced a couple of random volume up and crashes upon making phonecalls. SO i decided to reflash the entire rom, downloaded it + gapps, put into the decide, rebooted in recovery. Wipe cache, dalvik and also system i think, then i tried to intall the zip files but they were not there (probably i should have avoided wiping system, i get confused sometimes). I turned the device off and on, and now i'm stuck on bootloop (regular mode), can reboot it but it seems i can't go in either recovery or donwload mode (so no odin flash). Device is not recognized by the Pc. I keep rebooting it with power + home + volume down and as soon as i see the screen turn black, i try to press again volume up + home to enter recovery, but it goes straight to bootloop.

Any idea on how getting out of this situation? Thank you in advance
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] D4ND310:
Sadly, no software can fix broken hardware, it's probably best, as you'll now know, not to pour chemical liquids onto electrical devices, and just what kind of chewing gum exists that requires such extreme cleaning measures from a flat, non-porous surface I'll never know.

That said, as for rebooting, a force-restart on your device *doesn't* require you to hold Home+Volume down+Power, that should only reboot you to bootloader/download mode.

Try again only holding Power+Volume Down. THEN, when your screen goes fully black, immediately switch to Power+Volume up+Home.

You should then boot into recovery mode without any loop.

Good luck!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Dharmost:
I didn't dip the smartphone into a cup of liquid, i just took a piece of cotton, poured a bit of nail pain remover (don't know the exact name in english, sorry) on it and then scratched the part where the chewing gum was on (on the soft touch back key, which works 100% fine).

I am trying using the method you described, but it seems i can't go into recovery. Maybe i'm not quick enough! will keep trying. If you have any other suggestions i will be glad to hear that!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tys0n:
You could try to make a USB jig, or buy one off of eBay. They're really cheap. Its basicly just a resistens that force the phone to download mode. It have worked fine for all my Sammy's including A310 so it probably works for A (15) series as well.

Just put it in USB connector and press power for a few secs and you should be in download mode.

Just an idea if everything else fails :)

I purchased an USB Jig as suggested by one of you guys, i forced the device into dowload mode and installed a fresh stock firmware + custom recovery. When i try to boot i get a bootloop on samsung logo, and can't go into recovery probably because of the broken home button. I would like to enter recovery by using ADB command, i used to do it in the early days of Android but i'm a bit rusty and all the guides tell the procedure from an already functioning device. Since i can start it properly, is there a way to reboot it in recovery via ADB?

if you can access Download mode try this. hold volume down+home+power button. once the screen is black simply turn your finger to volume up while still holding the power and home button then release when SAMSUNG appears.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Dharmost:
Thanks for the suggestion, but still couldn't get into recovery. I think the home button is really broken, therefore i need to access recovery in another way.

Cause i flashed the stock samsung firmware twice with odin and i can't still start the phone properly, every guide says that a wipe of cache and dalvik solves the situation. But i need to get into recovery for that.

I can't go into recovery with normal procedure probably because the home button is not working, and all the guides about adb commands say that you need to plug in your phone when it has fully started. So i either need a way to force the device into recovery with my computer, or a firmware that once flashed doesn't give me bootloop
