[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJK53:
Right, to start with I am a complete numpty with Android, I'm the kind of dangerous person who thinks they can do something and the screws up every time because I only have half the knowledge and expertise whilst having twice the belief.

Self-castigation over this is a case in question.

I have an AT&T Note 2, SGH-I317 and have tried to install a non-standard ROM, CyanogenMod version 10.2-20140420-NIGHTLY-t0lteatt, on Andriod Version 4.3.1. As you can see a very old ROM and Android version.

When I did this the phone started to tell me I needed a "SIM network unlock PIN", as this was a spare phone I put it to one side coming back from time to time to have a go at sorting it out, each time failing dismally (as expected given my degree of expertise and knowledge on the subject)

So in a last and final attempt to sort things out I would like to ask if there is anyone who could be so kind as to help with an idiots guide, and I mean very idiots guide, to fixing this problem.

If anyone can be so kind as to help then please assume I know less than nothing, as is clearly demonstrated by my long term failure to fix it so far.

If not then please feel free to have a quiet laugh in private regarding my utter incompetence.

Here's hoping, David (in the UK)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
So the phone is running a stock AT&T 4.3 ROM, you inserted a non-AT&T sim, and it's prompting for an unlock code? If yes, you could try emailing AT&T and asking for the unlock code which must be entered using a stock Samsung dialler. Alternatively, you could buy an unlock code from eBay.

Hello,

I've been working with AE a lot over the last couple of months and I can't find any tutorials on achieving this type of animation experimenting for a bit by trying to mimic the background color transitions, but it just doesn't seem fluid and smooth like in the minimalist animation video (even with easing on my keyframes). I tried motion blur as well, but since the minimalist animation is so fast they look like gradients, taking away from the very flat minimalist look. If anyone could guide me in the right direction that would be great.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merix98:
Hi there,

I'm getting crazy with my zuk because an afternoon it decided to shutdown some seconds after boot. I had recently installed CM14. I can turn it on, insert the pin, wait some seconds and then it will show the shutdown animation and it turn itself off. The battery is stuck at 50%. I've tried to change the battery, change rom (now I've lineage), change recovery, wipe it all but nothing. What i can not understand is that i can use the recovery for hours without a problem.

What can i do? Do you think that it's an hardware or software problem? Have you already seen this problem?

Thanks a lot and sorry for my english
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevAmoureuX:
Well battery stucks at 50%? I saw the same problem in one post and the solution was to change the battery. Change it if you haven't or else use any other official rom like ZUi or RR Roms.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricky8989:
Hi!!

As under the title I have this Samsung Galaxy tab S2 SM-T715 tab.

My question is:

1) Can I Insert Operating System Windows 10 64 Bit?

2) Possibility to Insert Ubuntu 64 Bit Operating System?

3) Possibility to Insert Operating System Kali Linux 64 Bit?

Are these three operating systems compatible with my samsung galaxy tab s2 SM-T715?

If there are any solutions, how do I install these OSs on my tablet?

Thank you for answering.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edan1979:
Nope.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BBRecon:
Besides the fact that even if the processor WAS compatible, the tablet wasn't made with the ability to do that

1) That runs on x86, the tablet uses ARM. In short, incompatible.

2) Incompatible, it runs x86.

3) Incompatible, it runs x86

Ubuntu Touch was made to be able to be installed on Android phones and tablets. If you want to install Ubuntu Touch, you need to have a supported device, AND an unlocked bootloader. Ubuntu Touch was abandoned long ago, so there's no more support, especially for this device.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices

In short, PC operating systems were not made to run on a non-PC tablet. If you want to do that, you can get an actual PC tablet, like Surface Pro. This tablet was made for ARM / Android, and no other.

... Aww, it's too bad. The situation seems so grim... Wait!! Is there actually a clever way to do it?! I saved the best for last! :o There are a few interesting methods out there which may actually get you a full Linux Desktop environent ON your phone. ;) Read this article. P.S. Kali and Ubuntu are included
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] germain145:
My device (L31) was on a bad software and that c900 oeminfo. So I wiped the os and tried to change the oeminfo via cmd, but cmd always said: command not allowed. After that I flashed the stock recovery, made an DLOAD folder on my sdcard and tried to install the right stock firmware but with no luck. Recovery says its the wrong update. Now I have the problem that fastboot isnt working by holding volume down + power button. I checked my buttons they are ok. What should I do now? Did I brick my phone to unfixable?

Ich managed to install the c900 OS back. I normally have c432 but I can't flash the c432 oeminfo. So I stuck on c900

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shekhar_max:
My phone is gone into LOOPMODE only showing GOOGLE , and no OEM enabled , no USB debugging Enabled also DEVICE state is LOCKED...

please help me to restore my set.

how to Unlock the bootloader or how to enable USB debugging ?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconno:
From the reading that I have done, if the device state is locked you are in a bad way.

I have almost had success freezing my phone down to -18C, it will then complete the boot process but reboots before I can get into turn on OEM unlocking in the settings.

I am going to try and boot the phone whilst it is disassembled and use some freeze spray to keep it cool, in a couple of days when I have some free time.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shekhar_max:
First off , thankyou for replying

yeah sure, i m on HOLD , i have tried all things such as adb, nexus toolkit and all adb commands .

Reply soon bro !
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3act:
Freezing you phone is nonsense and won't do anything for a software problem!

What you need to do is unlock the bootloader again. (do a search for howto do this)

And then give the adb command to format userdata! ("fastboot format userdata") This will wipe any encryption on the phone that's blocking further acces.

The next step is to download the lastest OTA and sideload it through adb. This will unconditionally write a clean stock ROM on your phone and you should be good to go.

MIND THAT THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTING ON YOUR PHONE!!!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shekhar_max:
but how to unlock bootloader , thats the problem bro ! i have done evrytthing to do so !
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconno:
OK, so after trying to get my phone to boot for the past 3 days, I have finally done it and enabled the OEM unlock option.

I am running bullhead 7.1.2

1. Put phone in freezer at -18C for about 30 minutes.

2. Plugged phone into USB, pressed the power button and it then finally booted all the way.

3. Went into settings

4. Enabled developer options

5. Went into developer options and enabled OEM unlock. (I had to enter my pin number to make this happen)

I can now access the device using adb and device in no longer locked.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shekhar_max:

Anyone have the HTC_TouchDialer OEM pack or just the rgu file.

Trying too cook again, missing the finishing touches. [Whats that burning smell?]

Oh, one more thing; how do I preset the settings for battery status, today screen, etc. (I don't want to be screwing with settings after flashing).

I have it working for the most part (it flashes and works....mostly), I'm just trying to figure out how to get the rest of it working the way I want it to.

Thanx!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Inclement_Death:
Ok, can't get the bluetooth working either. :(
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Inclement_Death:
I can't get this to work and I really don't have time to figure it out.

I just wanted to cook a rom with MS VoiceCommand built in since everyone else excludes it.

Anyone have a MS VoiceCommand cab?

ROM cooking == headache.

You guys have a WHOLE lot more patience then I do.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Yes, cooking roms can become a head ache... It takes time to cook a good rom. As for the oem packages, just search the forum, there all over the place.

Good luck,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Inclement_Death:
I was really frustrated last night. I ended up putting Open Touch 3.0 Slimline back on and actually paying for MS Voice Command 1.6 ($40 USD.... ouch).
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Why would did you buy it? If you really had to have it then you should have PM me and I would have tried to find time and cook a custom rom for you instead of wasting your money like that...

I don't mind helping people, when I have time.

I will work on yet another release with voice command included to help prevent others from having to waste their money.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Inclement_Death:
I just got used to hitting the button on the side of my phone and saying

"Call Jamie Cell" and it dials Jamie's mobile number.

ttran001 I could really use your help on cooking some roms up. I already have my OEM SYS and ROM folders extracted. Just a lil confused on how to add and subtract stuff. PM me some time and maybe you can set up a lesson for me when you have some free time. Appreciated
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] register06:
I want to join such lesson too. The only reason i'm not cooking my ROMs is that i don't know what things can i remove from the SYS folder, how to change page pool size without a page pool size changer, and how can i get so much free RAM as ttran does.

So ttran, if you would open a learning thread, i'll be the first one to read it!:)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Folks,

I will try to open a thread to help you out as soon as I get some free time from my other projects and trying to fix minor issues folks are having with me releases..

But please remember that I too had to spend lots of hours reading from this great forum and after hundreds of test flashs finally got where I am now.

I'm only a beginer cook compared to some of the great ones in this forum.

The main point is it takes time to figure things out and when you do you will know it like the back of your hand.

If some one show you everything, then what have you really learned?

This is about becoming a cook of roms for users to enjoy.

Itje wrote a very good howto cook thread and should be a very good starting point for anybody who wants to become a cook.

What I've learned is that it's not about cooking a good rom and having people say cool stuff about yourself, it's about cooking a good stable rom where users enjoy and rely on daily.

Sorry for such a long post,
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] brutzza:
Hi, I'm having an issue in my A5 2017, is not a big deal but it's starting to be really annoying.

I will explain it the best I can.

Whenever I tap on a writting box (don't know how it is said actually) in Facebook, WhatsApp, Firefox, etc., and start immediately to write something, it freezes like for 2-3 seconds. For example, open a WhatsApp conversation, tap the writing box, keyboard shows up, I write "hello, how are you?" and after that 2-3 seconds of lag, the sentence I wrote appears really fast. Also the letters of the keyboard won't pop up as you write the sentence, they will pop up all of them together really fast after it "defreezes". It happens every time I send something. If I wrote that and send it, in the next sentence will happen again. The same happens when I tap the "back button" to close keyboard and again to go back to WhatsApp chats, it lasts 2-3 seconds.

Don't know why it's happening, I haven't changed anything in keyboard settings since I bought it. The phone is working perfect, fast, everything ok except that thing.

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] DarkAlucard:
Well, just in case if you want to check if it is an performance problem, i would suggest you install an CPU Meter (like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.als.usagetimelines) and ram meter, so you can see the usage in the statusbar. If the freezes are happening at high usage / usage spikes it could be a performance / ram problem.

several issues, don't get rid of it, it's 2 weeks out of the box

Hello i'm having several issues with my 2 weeks new A5 SM-520F bought in germany, i don't get rid of it, seems be a defect or samsung brought finaly the crapiest FW at all, i dont want to flash and solve problem on my own, and void the garanty.

here we go issue 1:

Out of the box after first charging to 100% (phone off), turned on, did all the updates, put my sd card, all my stuff is on the card, then i recovered there is 20GB of internal storage occupied...serious? normal? seems gigantic for android, on my old experia with last update to 7 it has something about 6 to 7 Gig.

Issue 2:

My Battery is down after a day with no usage, only dispaly always on feature to inform about messages, there is no more LED...

I deactivated it to test it out, it is better, but when i turns display on, today i was browsing some while waiting, 5 to 8 % went away in minutes, this can not be?!Normal? Bad Batery?

Issue 3:

Like other ppl mostly all my vidz are mp4, but my rediculously NEW A5 of year 2017 (sounds fashy huh) seem not be able to play them, it always want convert them to wmv no one using or want using anymore...

Is that just a save up money on license for the codecs? In my opnion... horrible, to bring such fashy sonorous smarthone of 2017 new generation...without mp4 support oO

Would MX with custom codec do it ?

Ty very much Guys!

Sad that a new device not a cheap one and so many probs....

I've red about multiple problems nearly the same as me, they've all mentioned the ultra fast battery drain, it seems that nougat is kinda broken with all its fabulousness and will be patched...soon...somehow...maybe?

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DudeThatsErin:
I was trying to get help on Reddit but I wasn't able to get any help.

I was able to find the Twrp image to Boot into but Magisk isn't installing when I go to try to install it.

I'm using 13.4 for my pixel XL and I tried 13.3

Any ideas why they aren't working? No errors in Twrp when installing.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jschill31:
Hello,

Not sure if Magisk is even working on O but you would want to flash a kernel like ElementalX first or the modified stock. Flash the kernel, then Magisk but again I am not sure if it is actually working yet. If you do get it installed and working be sure to report back to all. Also if you had SU + SUhide prior then you will want to flash the Magisk remover first, then kernel then Magisk.

Cheers
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DudeThatsErin:
Yup. Just verified it doesn't work. I booted into twrp, installed ElementalX, then Magisk 13.4 and rebooted, still doesn't work.

Then I booted into twrp, installed ElementalX and Magisk 13.3 and rebooted. Nothing.

I also installed TWRP RC2 and it works fine. If you want I can upload the bootable image for twrp and RC2 that I used. At least now I have a way of testing it out (well, to keep testing it out, when I'm at work).

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zizzy2020:
the pixel has a special magisk version because of boot a/b system stuff from my understanding. So it doesn't matter if it works on any other google phone.

It sucks too because i heavily rely on magisk due to how good it is on hiding...goodwin_c is my only hope. hanging on a thread here...

Hi guys. I know that the moment you install a custom rom you loose a bit in camera quality. Two questions.

1) Does camera quality go back to original when you flash a stock image?

2) Does camera quality drop if you unlock bl, root, but NOT install any custom recovery?

Thank you for your answers :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] maikvitesse:
1. Yes it does

2. Camera quality only drops when flashing a custom rom. Flashing a custom recovery, unlocking bootloader or rooting the device wont drop your camera's quality
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Hitman478™:
1) yes it does

2) camera quality only depends on camera app you use ;)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Cheese92:
Thank you. I thought it was different because with op3 if you flashed stock camera app you still wouldn't have good camera quality, would you?

Do you have any idea on how bad are cameras in custom roms as up to now? I'm not asking for specific answers.. just your general thoughts :)

Sorry i don't know since i take about 3 shot at year lol :D don't use too much camera and isn't my first concern when i flash a custom..

I have a friend who's going through a split with her husband. She's asked me if there's any way he is able to see her phone's messages etc, and I've assured her there's no way he can do that.

As long as her phone doesn't have his google account installed on it, and if she changes her password so he definitely won't be able to have hers on his phone she's alright, right?

WhatsApp is encrypted, so there's no way he can be seeing her WhattsApp messages.

Am I right in all this? I've assured her as long as she changes her Google password to something he'd never guess then she should be in the clear.

Do let me know if there's anything else or ways round anything that he could be using, and I'll let her know!
