[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexX-DE:
For Clean Flash:

1.) Go to "Wipe" and then Swipe to Factory Reset

2.) After thats done go to "Advanced Wipe"

3.) Tick Dalvik/Art Cache, System, Data and Cache ONLY!! and then "Swipe to Wipe"

4.) Flash Rom and Gapps

5.) Kernel

6.) Then anything else you might install such as Magisk / Super SU, MOD )

All at the same time in Recovery!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minilandl:
Do you usually wipe Dalvik/cache before and after flash or just after
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
A more technically-experienced member may be able to give you a definitive answer on which is best, if it makes any difference at all, but I normally do it only after flashing the ROM and before installing Magisk. For a total advanced wipe, of course, obviously I do all four partitions beforehand.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
For some starting advice/my recommendations:

Instead of Bean GApps, use OpenGApps; they provide newer GApps that aren't months outdated and work fine

Use Magisk for SU/root unless you have a specific reason for AddonSU

Make sure you grab the latest FrancoKernel (I think r73?)

As for flash order:

Wpe everything

Reboot to Recovery

ROM

GApps

Reboot to Recovery

Kernel

Magisk

Reboot to System

As to what I usually do for a really clean install (likely overkill):

Reboot to Bootloader

Wipe everything (fastboot erase all)

Do flash-base.sh from latest factory image (this reflashes modem partitions; this is required after erase all)

Boot to Recovery

Wipe everything from TWRP

Reboot to Recovery

Wipe everything again from TWRP (old habit from when the first wipe didn't actually get rid of everything on older devices)

fstrim Data, Cache, System, and Firmware partitions

Reboot to Recovery

ROM

GApps (I don't use GApps, but if I did, this is when they are to be flashed)

Reboot to Recovery

Wipe everything except System from TWRP

Format Data and Cache to F2FS

fstrim Data and Cache partitions

Reboot to Recovery

Kernel

Magisk

Reboot to System

Do set-up and copy files over to device

Reboot to Recovery

Wipe Dalvik Cache (I guess the button in TWRP would work; I do rm -Rf /data/dalvik-cache)

Use filesystem tools to check and repair partitions (e2fsck for ext4 being System and Firmware partitions, and fsck.f2fs for F2FS being Data and Cache partitions)

fstrim Data, Cache, System, and Firmware partitions

Reboot to System
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
No, Beans GApps is a better choice.

It only gives the apps that are truly essential.

It doesn't check to see if you're clean flashing a ROM before placing Google Camera in /system.

It's smaller. With OpenGApps you have to download the Stock package at nearly 800MB and exclude a bunch of apps to approximate the full Beans GApps package.

The apps are updated through the Play Store, thus the fact Beans doesn't update his package daily like OpenGApps isn't relevant.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
1. OpenGApps offers multiple packages. If you want the bare-minimum, I don't believe you can limit the apps any further than Pico. If you want Google Search, then Nano is the next step up. Then you have Micro, Mini, and Full, along with Stock and Super. Paired with a gapps-config.txt file, you can have whatever apps you want installed if none of those packages suit your needs, or just grab the smallest package and grab additional stuff from Play Store.

2. I'm not too familiar with a situation where that would be good, but you can use a gapps-config.txt file to force Google Camera and ignore a non-clean install

3. Pico is a little over 100MB, and there's several other options for pre-included packages up until the stock package. If downloading the larger Open GApps package isn't feasible, then a smaller package with the apps from Play Store would work right? Both Bean Gapps and Open GApps are GApps; you're downloading the same amount of data for apps either way regardless, the difference being whether they're included in the package, or you get them from Play Store.

4. I suppose that's a good point, but if I'm doing a clean install of a ROM and GApps, I wouldn't want to have to update all the GApps packages right after a clean flash.

My experience with Open GApps has been great over the years I've used them. I've tried Bean GApps a few times in the past and it also worked fine up until the June full package that was released broken (which gives the impression Bean Gapps are blind-released; although I guess OpenGApps does this as well).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=2346675]espionage724[/MENTION]: Beans' full GApps package includes the Google Camera. The smallest OpenGApps package that includes the Google Camera is the stock package. In order to emulate what Beans' provides, you have to use the stock package and you have to create a .gapps-config file. When installed, the OpenGApps script looks at the .gapps-config file and by default excludes any items that are listed in that file, such as the items below.

ExchangeGoogle

GoogleNow

TagGoogle

CloudPrint

Docs

Drive

Fitness

Keep

NewsWidget

Books

Movies

NewsStand

Sheets

Slides

Duo

The preceding list is the apps that must be excluded from the install in order to approximate the Beans' full GApps package. Now how do I know this? When Beans was having issues with his GApps package in June I used OpenGApps stock to update the Google apps, and the list above was the list of items that I ended up removing. Once the issues with his GApps package were resolved, I went back to using his.

The above is a rebuttal to point 1 you made.

2. The OpenGApps installer script will not install the Google Camera even if you specifically include it in the .gapps-config. This is done to avoid force closes and other strangeness. According to the OpenGApps wiki...

-- https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/FAQ

3. This has nothing to do with the fact that the minimum size OpenGApps package needed to install all the Google apps found in Beans' full GApps package is the stock package. That said, if we ever do run low on space in /system, the smaller packages (e.g. Micro, the smallest package I recommend using) are certainly an option since most Google apps can be downloaded from the Play Store. The Google Camera however may not be available in the Play Store, depending on the ROM, meaning it would have to be sideloaded.

4. While I'm in agreement about not having to update the packages immediately, at the same time it simply does not matter. The Google apps update frequently enough that trying to keep up with it by repeatedly installing GApps packages is a waste of energy. So I only update when the ROM itself is updated. If that means I have older versions of Google apps in /system, then that's fine by me. The apps will get updated.

Prior to the Nexus 6 I exclusively used OpenGApps and never had an issue. With the Nexus 6 I used the recommended GApps for Pure Nexus, and except for June have had no issues. Obviously, which one you want to use is up to you, but I'll let you know right now that it took about two weeks for OpenGApps to get their Android 8 packages to finish installing without requiring a hard reboot. The impression I get is that what happened with both OpenGApps and Beans full GApps was a one-off aberration.

Hi Guys,

Any Idea where I can download Samsung Device Maintenance app for a Samsung still running on Marshmallow - Android 6.0.1?

I accidently deleted the app while doing some tweaking on my phone and would love to re-install it.

Apart from having to factory reset my phone (and thus lose all my customisations done since) I have no idea where to find this App for Android 6.0.1 ???

On Playstore and APKmirror the only versions I can find are for Android 7 upwards.

It obviously does exist for the Android 6 platform as well, as it came pre-installed on my Samsung. :(

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Tx Guys.....

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] am-kazu:
Hello everyone

I am Japanese.

"Enable OEM lock release" on P10 lite is grayed out (not selectable) and can not be changed.

Are you familiar with causes and measures?
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Jannomag:
Hi,

When you reboot your phone, there should be an unlocked bootloader screen (white and yellow text).

If not, start into Fastboot (power off phone, power it on with holding volume down). What does the bootloader status say?

You can also test it with the fastboot command "fastboot oem get-bootinfo".

The oem unlock slider is normally greyed out, when the bootloader is unlocked.

If you have still FRP locked, you can try "fastboot oem relock BOOTLOADERCODE". If this doesn't work, you have to make a factory reset.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] am-kazu:
Thank you for your reply!

When "fastboot oem relock BOOTLOADERCODE" was executed, it was solved satisfactorily!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidman807:
DNS issues on a Verizon Galaxy S5, rooted, but intermittently.

What happens is life is good for a day or two, but then I notice that internet access is gone on wifi only. If I turn wifi off and use 4g data, internet access is restored. If I toggle wifi back on, no internet. This has happened on more than one wifi network, leading me to believe it's the phone. Only a "reboot" of the phone helps restore wifi access when it has this problem. Then life is good for another day or two, and then this paragraph repeats.

I've already purchased and installed Override DNS which is a nice app in that it avoids the VPN trick other "set dns" apps use. This didn't help anything, the problem still occurred, and an email to the program's author went unanswered.

I've also set the DNS by changing 20-dns.conf from /etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/ and again, this seems to have no effect on the problem as it still happens.

This page has other ways to set DNS, but rather than try all 8 methods, I figured I'd ask if there's something that's an obvious fix.

Thank you for any help you can suggest. I'm trying to avoid a factory reset.

I have a couple of 3rd party cables and with both it seems like the USB-C connector is slightly too large to fit in the port on the OP5. These cables fit fine on other USB-C ports but on the OP5 it feels like it shouldn't fit in there and that I'm going to break something if I keep forcing it. Anyone had this experience before? Visually they look slightly bigger than the dash cable that came with the OP5 but it's a standard size port so it shouldn't make a difference.

Another vote for Anker cables here, fabulous quality, braided cables and never had an issue with them, I have Anker hubs and they're great too. Should be available from your country's Amazon site. As for the cable you already have, if it "feels too big" (ooer) then I wouldn't force it, you could end up damaging the port and then you're in a world of hurt.

Hello, I have the SM-G955U1 (US Unlocked) Galaxy S8 plus. Since a few days ago (I want to say 2 days) this has randomly been happening:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0R973KolOY

The touchscreen becomes unresponsive for a few minutes at a time. There's nothing I can do to make it come back aside from just waiting. This morning I got out of bed and it was unresponsive and it stayed that way long enough that I could get a video of it. The only thing I can think of is that I installed the July security update around the time this started, but I'm not entirely sure.

Has anyone else had similar experiences?

edit- I think it's software related. I suspected it was, since I've owned the phone for a few weeks and it only started two days ago. A few minutes ago, the touchscreen became unresponsive again while I was using Samsung Internet. While it was unresponsive, I kept swiping up and down and back and forth. A few minutes later when the touchscreen became responsive again, it carried out all those swipes really really quickly over the course of 2-3 seconds.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] holozis_HUN:
Do any modder want to make a camera mod for our loved Mido?

The phone with Sony sensor has the same sensor which has the G6. LG G6. Sure you know LG makes a way better quality pictures.

I searched all day, but dont really find any good mod for camera like Cyberian camera mod for SONY Z3. The hardver can record at 1080p 60fps example, but the phone cant record in 60 fps... Tried with custom kernel and roms and with 5 camera apps. With MIUI and all stock too.

The algorythm itself is the biggest problem. My friend take fotos in RAW, and these photos are really good. But when change to jpg, all gone wrong.

Sure some modders can make a mod, but they haven't done yet for any reason.

I know, best answer is that "make it you" "there is a lot of sources" but the problem that i don't know nothing about doing mods or roms. And i am a Windows user.

So please, any modder who reads this post, please, can try to make a mod for our Mido? The camera can be better. There is a lot of rom with performance and battery enhancements and with a lot of modification settings, but nothing real camera mod.

Thanks for read the whole post!

Thanks for reading this, and answering my questions. Also im sorry if I didn't dig hard enough.

Now, it's on Nougat 7.0, and I would love to know how to safely root this baby (more important question later). I hear rooting can trig nox and damage phone, is it true? Also, I have never used the Knox apps on my phone

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] crazyfool_1:
Hey guys - just got my hands on a Mate 9 to replace my cracked 6P.

One issue I've run into though when setting up the device is it asks (the usual Google screen) on setup would I like to restore from my Google account, to which I say yes, but it never asks me to select which device I want to restore from (like stock Android devices do) and it hasn't restored any of my app data.. Anyone have any ideas about this? Does it just not restore app data from a Google account because it's EMUI? Or am I missing something..
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] rsage:
I don't know the definitive answer, but I got a new Mate 9 (US) yesterday and had similar issues. I tried all the data restore options one-by-one, they all failed for various reasons (tried restore by Google account, by another Google device/NFC, using Huawei's Phone Clone, etc.). I've never had these problems with any other Android device I've ever had. I'm just going from one Huawei device to another (Nexus 6P -> Mate 9).

The issue I had with restoring from a Google account was a bit different - it did ask me which device to restore from, but the only option it gave me was an old Android tablet I haven't used in a year. My 6P (which is configured to backup data) was not listed as an option.
