[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
if you want people to see your answer/repy make sure you use the quote button or [MENTION=256746]username[/MENTION] so hey get a notification.

No Android doesn't get slower and slower like Windows did as out works differently, newer versions have even better memory management.

If you have the normal international I9195 phone (no other letters after it) then there is a linage rom for it, that's what I have.

No you can't use Truecrypt, Veracrypt or similar on Android, as far as I know. There are apps that allow you to open Truecrypt containers but I had my doubts about almost all of them, though I didn't fully research as I don't really need it. Android built in encryption is regarded as good enough, ..... though as the key is stored in memory (on our model, & most Android phones) it could be recovered on our phones by a sophisticated attacker with personal access to a powered up phone using for example direct chip probing, freezing etc. (BTW Truecrypt is also known to have weaknesses now)

9195

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

i downloaded now the linage s4mini lte version, mine is basic gti9195 with no extras, but hadn´t yet the time to give it a try. first i´ll have to decrypt the 200gb sd card i´m using, for that longperiod it´s taking for backdecrytion i´ll have to be home, which is in 3 days.

first i didn´t want to try linage as i understood that google was somehow buying cynagenmod some time ago. of course a stock rom is anyhow by google so it would make no difference if google would be involved in linage by part owning it.

the crypted containers would help to use the sd card flexible also in the case u want to swap it around for the purpose of sharing files with other systems or phones fast, like a portable hdd, with a crypted card you are locked to your phone, and i also don´t know if it would work after it´s removed once from the phone and used after another has been inserted.

i investigated some time ago those apps which were cabable to open true and veracrypt containers, but i didn´t manage to use them, same time i also had doubts about them in general as you did.

i personally still trust true crypt most as it was born as far i understood independently, the slight risks it has concerning those mentioned hack methodes are as i see only if the device is physically out of hand, with this risk i can live as it needs some effort to be hacked.

but it looks like for a phone, which i´m actioally not using as a phone(mine is an old nokia) but as an small perfect mainly offline computer which has all offline to hand, wikipedia, mapsme, general helpful apps and own data without storing it in a cloud etc i will now go the complet cryption for both the phone and the sd card as containers don´t work, and it´s nice to have all privat data like lifetime pictures and videos with you without fearing too loose them. i wonder if the phone can crypt more than one sdcard and use it when changing , so it would be easy to have some tens of terabyte of data behind the cover.

i will tell you when linage works, it might take still some time and new questions from that arise, as i´m still fully novice with this whole android thema as i haven´t been working with linux systems yet in general.

Ok So I have a Nextbook NX16A10132S Ares 10A

I have TWRP custom recovery installed on it that I used from the Ares 8A.

I've tried flashing the Ares 8A rom, the Remix OS rom for it but no luck.

https://xdaforums.com/remix/supported-devices/port-remix-os-2-0-nextbook-ares-8-t3498015

gives an error does not installed..FML.

So then I found a site with a option to restore this backup for TWRP after just putting it in the backup folder for TWRP.

This I was able to do, it installs the system not the boot part of this backup, but it still doesnt boot into the system.

Literally if anyone has a Ares 10A 11A any ****ing that close to this system that they have TWRP/root on and woul back it up so I can restore it..you will literally have my eternal thanks. Or really anyone else that could get a rom that would work for this intel atom based android tablet that has driven me insane.

I am also at a loss with this Nextbook tablet as well. A customer of mine brought me one that has an activation lock on it. She got ripped off and bought it 2nd hand and didn't know about the lock until it was too late and seller disappeared on her. So now i'm trying to help her figure out a way to at least bypass the activation in anyway. I tried using remix OS but that didn't work, so I am trying Pheonix OS.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tone4life:
thanks I'll check into it once i can someone on ebay is sale the code $15 and info he needs is I believe its all done online for free. LOL

I'll need some information from the tablet itself

YOU WILL NEED

1. a mini-usb cable that plugs into the tablet - this is the same type of cable that charges most android phones (not an apple cord) or a playstation 4 charging cable will work too

2. Laptop or desktop computer with internet access - preferably running windows 8 or windows 10 (you can use windows 7, but you may have to download drivers for it to recognize the tablet)

I will need you to copy a file from the tablet to your desktop and open it - the copy and paste it into this message for me along with your serial number

are you able to do this?

If so, then you can go ahead and pay and i will send the rest of the instructions

I had the same issue with "/data" not being mountable. I used twrp to wipe that partition and make a new one. There's something wierd with it because i wasn't able to root and install twrp in the recovery partition until I did the wipe. It would default back to stock image when it had issues booting
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyfender:
My guess would be that your original data was not mounted because it is encrypted. With a modified boot.img to remove encryption and dm-verity, the userdata must be wiped to create a new, unencrypted, data partition, on next boot.

I do not own an Ares 10A, as was stated a few posts above, but I was wondering if any of the info I provided concerning the Ares 8A was useful in getting root on your 10A's?

Thanks

I have a next book 10a and I don't have the activation code. What can I do. PLEASE HELP ME OUT
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredcadet:
I was able to get the offending lock-screen app passcode program in the Nextbook NX16A10132S Ares 10A removed. On kernel 3.14.64-x86_64 android 6.0.1 -- This method erased all user data on the device and returned it to factory settings -- only without the lock screen program.

With the device turned off and unplugged, I hold down the power and the volume button that's farther from the power button until the system boots into the fastboot screen. I plug in the USB to the computer and use the Android Developer tool: Fastboot to unlock the boot loader:

fastboot flashing unlock

fastboot format userdata

fastboot format cache

I then tell the device to shutdown.

I Download and Extract the Ares8A_recovery_twrp.img from this thread, and put it into the computer's working directory I'm using fastboot from:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72970060&postcount=82

I unplug the USB and start it back up with the power and volume button again until the fastboot screen appears again. I then plug in the USB and run :

fastboot boot Ares8A_recovery_twrp.img

Once TWRP is running, I click the Mount button on the tablet and check the box to mount System.

Then I use ADB SHELL to rename the bad application:

adb shell mv /system/app/VUDUStartWizard/VUDUStartWizard.apk /system/app/VUDUStartWizard/VUDUStartWizard.apk.bak

Then I shutdown the device, and start it back up normally. Then it works for me with no lock screen.

Ok originally I had come in here because of boot loop caused after removal of specific apps. This has been an issue even before I managed to get it rooted, I still wouldn't mind a streamlined fast alternate rom for my nxa10 but figured out the boot loop issue. Just go back into twrp and factory reset... it wont replace the apps you removed... kind of a weird roundabout way to debloat but hey if it works haha.

Here are the img's I took of my 10a

Ares10a_NXM1021CAP_ES-IntelAtom-[NX16A10132SP-S] - Google Drive

drive.google.com

They're for the Intel Atom version though and my first guess would be not to flash these on the A64 version if you happen to have that one. But if you can get to fastboot, you can try using

fastboot boot (stock_or_twrp-recovery).img

and see if either work. I've been led to believe that the Ares 8a's twrp DOES work with the IA version of Ares 10a, but NOT the A64.

I tried to root the A64 Ares 10a before I knew the difference using the 8a guides. I flashed twrp and boot .imgs, bricked, and still bricked after many days of useless searching.

Note the difference.

Both NX16A10132SPS on the back cover.

I can help with the Intel Atom version if anyone needs.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ajemnace:
Hi, I bought a Galaxy S7 edge sm-g935a, and I'm using it here in Japan with other network. I'm just wondering why everytime I check for an update, it always says I'm on the latest firmware even when I'm like 3 or 4 versions behind. Even when I connect it to smart switch it also says I'm on the latest firmware too, and when I try to click on firmware upgrade and device initialization, it says "Galaxy S7 Edge does not support initializing, please contact customer support". What should I do to get OTA updates? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] stew1411:
AT&T phones will not receive OTA updates if you're not on the AT&T network. You have to manually flash them. You could keep downloading the latest firmware and flash it, or you could download the U firmware, which will receive updates regardless of carrier.

My S7 edge won't update either. I seem to be stuck on the May 2017 security update (Build # G935AUCS4BQE1). I bought my phone from swappa.com last month. The seller had it listed in the AT&T section as the SM-935A. I can use it for the most part without any issues (no Wi-Fi calling, not recognized on the AT&T network). When I check the IMEI # with Samsung, they show it listed for Sprint. Any suggestions of what I should do? I know one option is to flash the 935U firmware.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jshamlet:
All US (Snapdragon) based S7 Edges are physically identical, so you can run AT&T firmware on a Sprint S7E and vice-versa. However, AT&T is well known for disabling features based on IMEI, which it appears they are doing for WiFi calling. Unfortunately, it appears someone converted a device that started life on Sprint, so unfortunately you may be out of luck. The only way to fix the problem that I am aware of is to temporarily switch your SIM out for an actual AT&T device (whose IMEI is recognized), and that supports WiFi calling and VoLTE, then put the SIM back in your converted S7 Edge.

Converting to U will definitely make the phone a LOT faster (and the battery last longer), but you are giving up on any carrier features period at that point. I personally felt that the performance and battery features were a lot more important to me than WiFi calling or VoLTE and I switched to U a while ago. I haven't looked back, but that's just me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] caferacer73:
Thanks jshamlet. I did a chat with Samsung and they confirmed that my phone was originally setup for Sprint and that it has been unlocked. My fiancee has an AT&T branded S7 Edge, so I can try putting my SIM in her phone for a bit. Converting to the U is something I'll seriously consider. I had an unlocked Moto X Pure Edition, so I'm used to not having the Wi-Fi calling or VoLTE.

[General Questions and Answers] Arman5592:
Hello.

I wanted to change my phone lately , so at first I looked at the phone I loved last year , htc10 (because of the clean android , no bloatware and the all around decent-ness) , until I noticed Id have a hard time finding screen protectors , cases , etc for the phone in my country , and it doesnt have warranty in my country and finding a repairman is hard if needed. so buying the htc 10 would be risky in the long run (and short run if I drop it or something)

then I saw the s7 edge on sale for a reasonable price (around $100 more expensive than the htc 10) so I considered that as well , but thats where I have my biggest question.

I have seen glass screen protectors for s7edge but all the comments said that it affected the touchscreen making it less sensitive to touch and all that . are the glass screen protectors for s7edge really that bad or are they the same as other phones' ?

(and by the way , weird as it may sound , s7edge is cheaper than normal s7 in my country , so I wouldnt want s7 , and I dont like touchwiz , so not a fan of samsung , but the s7edge price is nice when compared to my other choices)

then I saw the LG g6 , which I really like , but the software doesnt look good either (i've heard its similar to touchwiz about bloatware , and I dont like how it looks) and the previous flagships have had issues such as bootloops and broken camera lenses , which makes me worry about buying it.

i was also wondering if LG had any form of themes app similar to htc/samsung which could change the entire look of the phone ?

any recommendations which one to buy?

thanks in advance
