[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jOjOjOJOSEPH:
Please help me! I own a galaxy s6 (international model, official, not rooted) which is stuck in a boot loop from hell. The led is white (not the usual "boot-up blue") and won't change colour or even turn off. It was the last straw a few hours ago when it randomly restarted, got stuck halfway through the Samsung logo and started making the loudest noise I've ever heard it produce. It was NOT a vibration. Ever since then, it has just been stuck and keeps restarting. When it does get past the "Samsung Galaxy S6" screen it just says 'no command' with the android lying on its back. I'm at a complete and utter loss. It's actually done this a few times this week, but I've always been able to at least boot it into safe mode and uninstall snapchat - which I think is the cause of all this. I can't power off the device, and even when the battery drains completely, the same 'no command' screen appears as soon as it's plugged in. I can't boot it in recovery mode as I can't get it to switch off. I think it may be battery related or even motherboard related. I can't even seem to bypass the 'no command screen. It's just sitting on my floor, charging, overheating and looking all smug. Frankly, I'm pretty damn close to hurling it out of my window.

Also, does anyone know WHY the led is sometimes white or yellow during a boot loop on newer Samsung Phones?

[Off-topic] arcburn:
I have been a member of xda for , mayb, a year or so now. Im not very knowleagable when it comes to rooting and messin with device inner files, to make it do exactly what i want. But i have learned alot from these discussions. All i wanted to say is thank u all for ur help, and for not being asses to people trying to learn. The other thing is, the first devices i started messin with were lg phones, i like them, there easy to use, and seem to b a good starting point. The reason i say this is, the first time i plugged into my laptop with one, dont remember the model, but it was runnin 4.4 kitkat, it downloaded a program that linked it directly to lg. Now i messed that phone up a few times, to the point where i didnt think i could get it back, and take my word for it, im still working on un bricking a few things i have layin around here, but the progam it downloaded was a updating program that, if u wished, would also set ur phone back to its original state, and i mean offical, un modified. So if any beginner out there is looking for suttin a little more forgiving, lg seems to b the way to go. They just help make it easier to fix ur fu.. ups. Thanx for ur time, just wanted to put that out there, from my experience.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmajesk:
Hi, I'm going to say in advance that I'm no expert in this subject, so any help is well appreciated...

I bought this Nexus 7 in 2012/2013 and was really really satisified with the product. But as many of you know Google ruined it with a poor Android update.

After a long time without using this device, I tried to ressurect it by installing Cyanogen Mod (don't remember the version). I had followed some tutorial to root the device, install TWRP and Cyanogen.

All worked fine, the device got a little bit faster, but a lot of apps didn't work (like Netflix for example). So, again I left it aside...

This year, I saw the need to have a tablet for study purposes, but the device wasn't working really well with CMod.

Then I tried to flash the stock version with TWRP and something went wrong...

Now the device is soft bricked (I believe).

-I can access TWRP just fine. But the device doesn't show up on Windows 10 (Even after installing several different drivers)

-I can't use adb or fastboot.

I have used USBDeview, have tried using the toolkit, changing USB ports, changing cables, using different OS and nothing seems to work.

If anybody in here can help, I'll be forever grateful.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] remp65:
Hello, while I was upgrading my qtek to wm6 there was a power failure, now I`m stuck at the first splash screen. The info I can read is:

IPL 2.21.001

SPL 2.21.olip

GSM 02.47.11

OS 11.11.11.11

The phone was working fine, I regret doing this upgrade, now I have a beautiful brick.

On the other hand, I can get it to start in bootloader mode with the red, green and blue screen, I can get it to show USB connection at the bottom left corner of the screen, I CANT get it to connect with active sync.

I am new at this, as a matter of fact this is my first time writing in this forum, could somebody walk me to the process of reviving my phone?

Thank you all vey much.
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] One92:
Are you disappointed with the OP5 alert slider? Have you ever wished you could expand it's functionality? Well now you can!

I wanted to share a project I've been working on that reacts to the alert slider position. This REQUIRES root as the profile is triggered when the following file has been modified:

/sys/class/switch/tri-state-key/state

This file contains a single integer which coincides to the slider position:

1 (up)

2 (middle)

3 (down)

Isn't there a simpler way (no root)?

I don't think so. As I understand, the alert slider does not send traditional key events (as most buttons do), and although you could monitor the DND status through the %INTERRUPT variable, DND can be triggered independently of the slider position so is not robust.

Fine, I'm rooted and can see the file. How does that help?

When the slider is moved, the following events happen:

1. The file is opened

2. The file is modified (example, change from 1 to 2)

3. The file is closed.

The 'Slider Position' profile is triggered by the 'File Closed' event, then the 'slider' task reads the file to assign the global variable %Slider based on the file's value. From here, you're free to use the variable value to trigger any task when %Slider matches up, mid, or down.

Splendid! So this gives me ABSOLUTE POWER over the slider?!

Not quite. I haven't found a way to replace the stock functions as much as expand on them. For example, the top position natively puts the phone into silent mode. If you create a task to take it out of silent mode, the OOS overrides it, and keeps the phone in silent. So you'll have to work within the confines of the native function, hence enhancement :p

Lame. So what's it good for?

Here's how the profile is setup now. I'd love to see what your clever minds come up with!

UP: Asleep (all radios off, mobile data off, sync off, battery saver on). Basically dead to the world except calls.

MID: Nothing yet, maybe I'll do some intermediate between the two extremes.

DOWN: Awake (all radios on, data on, sync on, battery saver off). Typical setting for standard usage.

Other ideas:

Coma mode: sleep mode + airplane with or without periodic check in.

Autovoice continuous on/off

Home/work/night profiles

Reading/night modes, invert colors

Auto brightness/rotate

Flashlight

Hotspot

Since I'm a dork and can't figure out how to attach a project zip or thumbnails, here's some screenshots.

Hold down on profile to select, then top right button and you can save it. I'm really interested in this, as it would be perfect for work.

Edit: as you can see I'm a noob Tasker and I downloaded my only profile, I have no idea how to do what you did.
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] One92:
I paraphrased my issue. I can export the project from Tasker without issue, but I can't attach it to the OP. Maybe it's because of my low post count. I've been lurking for years :)

Nice work! Use a bit of Tasker but didn't give this a thought ?
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Wisiwyg:
Can convert this to a 'Quiet Hours' Tasker macro to provide the old functionality of the Quiet Hours settings in LOS? Would be really nice to have a Quiet Hours option, overridden by a change event in the button position. Otherwise, Quiet Hours runs as normal. I sometimes forget to slide up when going to bed, only to have 'dings' wake me.

[MENTION=8470766]jakvettjak[/MENTION] when the slider will be down, notifications will also stop pushing I guess ?
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] One92:
Nope, as it's shown the down position is "awake" so fully connected, sound/vibrate, all radios on, sync on, etc. This is intended to mimic typical phone usage and reset all of the "sleep" settings which turned everything off.

I'm working on a "coma" mode for the up position that will put the phone into airplane mode, then disable it every so often to check in, before going back into airplane. Of course, when airplane mode is enabled you wouldn't get push notifications, but they should get pushed as soon as the phone checks in.

As "sleep" mode is shown, with mobile data, wifi, sync off you won't get push notifications, but SMS/call will still work. This mode would work well for the middle slider position where priority DND mode is enabled by default.

[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] drose6102:
The alert slider options to customize are kinda strange, it would be nice if it they were more like the stock Android do not disturb. Trying to use some of my Tasker profiles to mute notifications when connected to Bluetooth speakers but Tasker uses the Android stock do not disturb which conflicts with Oxygen os alerts. Looks like am making new profiles from the ground up.

[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] One92:
I agree it's pretty limiting in stock form. Hopefully future updates will give us more control. I wonder if any ROMs on here have been able to modify the slider function.

[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bewildered Wolf:
Hey there. Wanted to try your file but

1. I've copy pasted the profile on Tasker/profiles but it doesn't shows up in selector menu.

2. I've tried adding it manuklay with the "open with" feature of mixplorer but still it doesn't loads up and it says that can open this file with Tasker. Bad intend or something.

Long press in the profiles tab.

And then find your file. Done.
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zombie:
You need to place the xml file is Tasker/configs/user

And then you can open taker and restore from backup and the profiles will be loaded
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bewildered Wolf:
I'm sorry but there is no folder like configs.

Plus when I selected load profile option, it said the file has to be .prj.xml which is the same extension as your file. But dk why Tasker is not able to find it.
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zombie:
I had the same issue. Go into tasker and make a backup. Doesn't matter if it's blank. It'll make the folder for you. After you make the backup then you can move the file into configs/user as the file will now exist
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bewildered Wolf:
Yup. This seems to work.
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] One92:
Something I've learned with Tasker: it takes some trial and error and a lot of reading. I'll outline the process here, but you may have to do some research if the jargon doesn't make sense (quoted terms).

The "tasks" for asleep, awake, and coma work mostly by using root to perform "run shell" actions to change settings. Each command is separated by a semicolin within a single "run shell" action. In this form, it's possible to execute multiple commands within one action.

Alternatively, Tasker could toggle many of these settings with built-in actions instead of "run shell" (wifi, bluetooth), some of which don't need root. But it can't directly toggle certain settings which fall into one of three groups: "global settings", "secure settings", "system settings" (night mode, airplane).

"run shell" actions are used because they tend to run faster, more robustly, and reduce the reliance on "3rd party plugins". The downside is that it requires root, and makes it a bit harder to read/write within the Tasker UI, but root is needed to read the slider position file anyway, so the first point is moot.

Make sense? Alright, so after you import the "project" into Tasker, you can modify the "tasks" to change only the settings you want. Say you don't want wifi to turn off when you run "asleep". Then you'd modify the "run shell" action in the asleep "task" to remove the command "svc wifi disable;". Use a similar method to change other settings as you wish.

As for reading mode, it's given me issues. I can toggle it fine with a shell command, but sometimes it'll turn off after a few seconds. Since I haven't figured out why, it's a disabled action within the coma task.

Gaming mode isn't affected by these tasks, but should be easily added with a shell command of the form "settings put .... ". I'll leave it as an exercise for you to learn what to replace the .... with :)
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] L22EEW:
Thanks for sharing the file, I have just tried this with Tasker, and it works like a treat.

Slightly modified it (to suit myself), as I don't use NFC.

Excellent stuff.
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] timbremer:
Sounds like a cool idea. I re-built this myself but can't get it to work since the "use root" checkbox is missing? ?

Haven't used Tasker after the update, did they change anything regarding root actions?
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] One92:
I'm not sure why the option for use root isn't showing up for your run shell actions. Do you have beginner mode on? That's all I can think of.

Speaking of root, I've learned that it is NOT required to read the slider position file! I thought it was needed since the file is in the root directory, but we just need to read it which doesn't require elevated permissions.

With this revelation, I could make two independent slider projects: with and without root. Of course, the root option would have more capabilities, but I can see the non-root version being of interest to users as well.
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] timbremer:
Hmm, I don't have beginner mode on... Tasker seems to be not able to read the file on my phone, it just doesn't execute the task or doesn't even start the profile. I did everything like described and double-checked any possible issues, but it should work just fine. I do have some experience with Tasker myself, no idea why it doesn't work
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bewildered Wolf:

[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] timbremer:
Thanks, but I didn't import the profile, I created it myself from scratch. The path is correct, so I really have no idea why Tasker doesn't seem to detect file changes. I think there was a "use root" option in earlier versions of Tasker, but I don't see that anymore.
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] One92:
You shouldn't need a use root option to read the file. I'm sure you've double checked, but make sure there isn't a space inserted at the beginning or end of the path.

Maybe try creating a text file in the downloads folder and try to read that just to see if the issue is with reading the root partition.
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] L22EEW:
I've been using this setting/profile for a couple weeks, really cool tool to have.

Noticed 1 minor issue though:

If the phone is n COMA mode, then I choose the AWAKE - sometime Bluetooth doesn't turn back on. I have to manually turn it on via the settings.

Any other users experiencing this?
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sumotori1:
It is my limited understanding that Tasker is not supposed to be able to monitor system file changes but only on SD card. Hence why it doesn't work for some people.

The question is, why are some users able to monitor their system files through Tasker when by design this is not meant to be? :S
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] testimony:
Hey seeing here that Tasker can make hardware button changes, can anyone help me out with assigning an action to power button as well like double tap or long press? I found a method on reddit but that doesn't seem to work. If anyone can help I'll be really glad.

Hi everyone!

I'm browsing XDA for a while now, and I'm so glad I found this post! I can't believe how lame the switch settings are. Hope some of you will be so kind to help me understand if this solution would be suitable for me, provided it's potentially the only reason I would root my OP5, and it'd be the first time I use Tasker.

I've modded my OPO a lot in the past, so I'm not a complete noob in case you were wondering. ;)

So, what I'd like the switch to do is actually extremely basic and old-school: let me choose between Ringtone/Vibration/Silent as we used to do a dozen years ago. No difference between contacts, no network disabling, just the good ol' 3310-like triplet.

Would you recommend this workaround in my case? Do you happen to know any other possible solutions?

Many thanks in advance

Hi Guys,

I've imported the xml file provided in this post : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73583651&postcount=18

Everything seems to work fine, except that sometimes[/is] according to Tasker logs : "Read slider" task loops indefinitly and it happens as soons as "Read File /sys/class/switch/tri-state-key/state" is executed. So I'm wondering if the Read File does open, read and

close

the file and thus starts another instance of the task (it should not be the case as collision is set to 'stop new task).

I'm wrong ?

Then why reading another time the file in each task if you already monitor the file ?

I've commented the Read File in each task and it seems to fix the loop.

For those having problems with Bluetooth, I would recommend adding a timer just before Bluetooth On command.
