[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bstonge:
Hello,

I have an issue with a P9 that I'm hoping has a work around. As of now there is no rom on it because I am unable to install one. Before this happened I updated to the Nougat 7.0 with the emui 5.0. I flashed the wrong version so I attempted to wipe and reinstall stock to no avail.

I have access to recovery between stock and TWRP. The bootloader is unlocked. I have attempted to flash stock with the dload method but always gets stuck on 5% and fails. When I try to flash with TWRP I get the cust "invalid argument" error. I have attempted to extract the files from the update.app and flash with fastboot but when I get to cust.img I get an error:

C:\platform-tools>fastboot flash cust cust.img

target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes

sending 'cust' (257481 KB)...

OKAY [ 8.301s]

writing 'cust'...

FAILED (remote: partition error)

finished. total time: 8.316s

I tried this method of restoring the cust partition and I receive an d error saying that there is not enough space.

https://xdaforums.com/honor-5x/help/how-restore-cust-partition-t3356769/page2

My last resort was to attempt to wipe the cust partition but I receive "command not allowed"

At this point I'm unsure what else to do. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to restore the cust partition?

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] jhofseth:
How do I auto-hide nav-bar or go auto-immersive?

As root in Android Terminal, to auto-hide only nav-bar on bottom (e.g., just swipe up on bottom to show nav-bar), type:

su

settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*

or to auto-hide top & bottom:

su

settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*

or to go back to original:

su

settings delete global policy_control

-------

To do the same as above without root using adb from PC, to auto-hide only nav-bar on bottom (e.g., just swipe up on bottom to show nav-bar), type:

adb shell

settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*

or to auto-hide top & bottom:

adb shell

settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*

or to go back to original:

adb shell

settings delete global policy_control

-----

The only issue I have found so far is getting trapped in camera app, because camera app monopolizes swipe function by default; however, it is easy to swipe left in camera to go to photos, then swipe up from bottom in photos to make nav-bar appear.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] DsturbD:
**edit**

thanks for these steps, very helpful

you can also just enable Moto Actions and One button nav, hides the nav bar all together
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] jhofseth:
I started out using the auto-hide nav-bar only one, but now I'm trying the full immersive one and the latter takes some getting used to, I think. There is no question either one makes web-browsing better! Every fraction of an inch of screen real-estate helps avoid that cramped feeling of inconvenience. But, I think I'm gonna stick with the auto-hide nav-bar only one, because it takes up the most room of the two and I miss it less. :)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterNYC:
I have an old Verizon Note 4 that I'd like to give to my wife's bed ridden grandmother. She could really use something to pass the time and talk with friends.

I wiped the phone to remove all my old stuff. I rebooted into recovery mode, wiped the cache partition and did a factory reset. When I rebooted and started to configure the phone it gave the message:

"The phone is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that was previously used on this phone to confirm that it belongs to you."​

I never had a Samsung account, and I don't want to start now. I think the best course of action is to install a custom ROM. I dislike all the Samsung bloatware anyhow.

But I can't boot this phone because I can't get past this "abnormal factory reset" screen (presumably it's an anti-theft thing?). How can I install a custom ROM on this phone? Everything I've read says that I already need to have root before installing the ROM, which seems impossible since I can no longer have access to this phone's OS.

How can I proceed?

The game didn't work with the Gamepad.

However, I still think the Gamepad is cool, I just think mobile games suck. Maybe emulators are the way to go

I'll be sure to try them. Just waiting for the phone to be shipped and delivered.

Did you happen to try oddworld strangers wrath or oddworld munches Odyssey?
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] CadillacMike:
Never heard of them, but I will give them a shot
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] DistortStatic:
Just got this a few weeks ago, it definitely makes me more likely to game on emulators than if I had no controller or a blue tooth controller. There's games I would never play with an on screen pad, and a blue tooth controller can feel too cumbersome to play with sometimes, but this is like a perfect medium for playability and portability. I've found myself playing way more since I've had the controller. There are 2 negatives though. The dpad has to be pressed down a little harder than most game pads, but you get used to it. Also, the shoulder buttons are a little small, they probably should have just stuck to 2 total shoulder buttons instead of trying to stick all 4 up there.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] CadillacMike:
i agree, the 4 shoulder buttons is a bit crowded
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] 20degrees:
Mine arrived yesterday. Still waiting on the phone to arrive though. T-Mobile finally charged my card, so it should be arriving soon.

Hi guys!

I recently converted the protocol on my (Asus P535 WM6) Sirf III GPS reciever, from NMEA to Sirf with SiRFDemoPPC. After that everytime I use Destinator 7 it changes the Date/Time in a random way but always 1 year ahead . I tried to find a setting in Destinator or in SiRFDemoPPC about time sync but ther is not any...

Any ideas?

Have 2 of these and nothing interesting to do with them as of yet.

I reset and had this disa crap pop up, I don't have this.

If any ROM is available it would be much appreciated.

Following. I would love to find an upgrade for the XT1570, China model. My wife and I have US Pure Editions and we purchased her mom (she's Chinese living in China) an XT1570 because we loved ours. Now we are way ahead of hers as far as software and Moto China is useless about upgrading software. Unfortunately, since its my mother in law's phone, I cant just "play" with the phone to see what works and even if I could, I live in the US so I couldn't test it to verify it still worked with China Mobile. If you find one, please update this thread, may see if it'll work. Thanks!

@texascowboy
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texascowboy:
China firmware actually does work here in the US even LTE, but I'm not concerned about that since the phone will be used in China except for when she comes here to visit, at which time she has an AT&T sim for my account that she uses while she's here. Also, flashing is not illegal in China, but Google apps and such will not work, hence not allowed. I am not looking for a Google based OS, I would just like to be able to update her phone when she comes back this next spring since Moto in China doesn't update like they do in other countries. I've seen a few others asking about the same thing in other places and was just hoping to see a China based Nougat show up sometime, even though I know the demand is pretty darn low for it on here, lol. It would probably be some work to do it though since Google services would have to omitted and someone would have to pull the China based apps (Baidu, and such) and put them in there instead or make them a separate flashable package. I think the toughest part could be the radios because although her phone works over here, my US based phone is pretty spotty over there due to them having a totally different LTE network on China Mobile. As many brilliant gurus as I've seen on here over the years I figured it was worth a shot. :)
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzidexx:
I think the best idea is buying another phone for using in US.

If you flash any RetUS rom you can't flash back China rom and Lte will work only in US.

Maybe go to Google+ and look for xt1570 users? [MENTION=3570917]texascowboy[/MENTION]

I used to often hear that apps that put an overlay over your screen to make it dimmer or a different color were really bad for OLED screens. Is this true? I don't see how just making the pixels dimmer would damage it in any way. Sometimes OLED screens don't get dark enough at night so it's nice to have an app to add some dimming, works way better than on an LCD

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dwasifar:
(Not sure whether this belongs here or in the "real life review" section somewhere; mods, please move it if you think best.)

Ten days ago my wife and I moved from our venerable Nexus 5 phones to new G6 US997 carrier-unlocked phones. After living with them for a while, here are my impressions.

Things that are better on the G6:

- The display. Blacker black, more saturated color. The tall display ratio doesn't bother me, and the benefit is that we're getting a 5.7" screen in a phone only 2mm wider than the 5" Nexus 5.

- Battery life. My train ride to work would routinely take my battery down below 65% from a full charge; the G6 is usually comfortably above 90% after the same ride.

- Audio. Wasn't even expecting this, but the G6's audio sounds better.

- Build quality. The N5 is utilitarian compared to the slick G6.

- Camera. Much, MUCH better, and the camera app is better too.

- Fingerprint sensor.

Things I miss about the Nexus 5:

- A notification LED. I never realized how much I had come to rely on it.

- The developer community. There were about six times as many ROMs available for the N5 as there are for the G6. Right now a lot of ROMs seem to be in a holding pattern waiting for Oreo to drop. I realize the G6 is a relatively new phone, and the N5 community was old and well established. But I think that's affected by the next point:

- Unified hardware platform across carriers. The N5 had just two versions, an international and a US version, and they differed only in the radio bands. The G6 has all sorts of different versions, most not unlockable unless you get a carrier-unlocked US997 or an H870. I think this is going to curtail the developer community from attaining the N5's level.

- Relative ease of developer modes. Compared to the N5, it's a lot harder to get to the point where you can flash things on the G6.

I've already tried a few different configurations to see what I like best. I flashed Fulmics ROM for a while to try it out, but switched back to rooted stock rom today because it just seemed faster and more stable. Gave the LG stock launcher a fair try, but I'm back to using Nova now. I'll probably stay with this configuration until I see a stable Oreo ROM with LG camera support emerge.

I like the phone, I just wish it were a little bit more developer-friendly.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] NOTilyass:
I absolutely agree with you. The g6 has amazing hardware but everything else does not follow. I'm coming from a op3t and a nexus 6p before that so I do know what SILKY SMOOTH fast performance is, and the g6 is just isnt as smooth. I'm personally waiting till november for the oreo update hoping it will very much improve the g6, otherwise I will never ever even entertain the idea of getting another non google (stock-ish) phone again !
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] patruns:
Both the wife and I also came directly from Nexus 5s. The Nexus 5s started to slow down and mine would not charge on the wireless pads anymore. We got Unlocked T-Mobile phones, which came with an unlocking app. We are both on T-mobile so it doesn't really matter anyway. Very happy with the phones and T-mobile is pretty much keeping up with the security patches.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dwasifar:
T-Mo had a killer buy-one-get-one deal for $500 plus the tax and fees on the second phone, but I passed on that and bought carrier-unlocked from B&H instead. Cost more, but I can root them.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dwasifar:
I would absolutely have bought a Pixel if it came with wireless charging.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] penguinyaro:
I'm considering making this jump too (Nexus 5 to G6). I really appreciate this review!

Is there any reason you didn't go with the pixel 2? I'm currently trying to decide between the G6 and the Pixel 2-- especially due to that missing headphone jack on the new pixel!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dwasifar:
Wireless charging. That's a must-have for me. The headphone jack would probably have been a deal-breaker too, but the real reason was that the G6 has wireless charging.

You're going to chafe a little bit coming from the N5. I haven't installed any AOSP-based G6 ROMs yet, only the stock-based ones, and they're a little bit limiting compared to the wide range of choices you had available on the N5. But the G6 hardware is really, really nice, and the ROM support is coming along. It'll be interesting to see what happens when Oreo drops.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] imam88:
for me pixel 2 is a get go if u want all rounder better experience in android. my previous phone is nexus 6p and oneplus 3, now I using g6 with some sacrifice laggy software.

why I still prefer g6:

1. wide angle camera

2. flat screen!! curved screen hard to find a perfect tg glass

3. my version is dual sim, because I often travel. my primary sim number used for many security access. so I need a convenient phone that can disable enable my primary sim.

4. the overall design so elegant
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
My previous phone was a Nexus 6P.

I sold it about six weeks ago and bought the LG G6.

I had to pay an extra $25 (sold the 6P for $425) I also bought the extended warranty through SquareTrade for $99.

The warranty was a wash since the 6P was going out of warranty and I would have had to buy SquareTrade for it.

I got the unlocked US997 from B&H.

Anyway. It smokes the 6P on all fronts except stereo speakers.

I never listened to the speakers anyway.

The flat screen is awesome. I will never buy a phone with a curved screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jason504:
I keep seeing these videos on YouTube or other places even from XDA employees. Saying should you buy the Note8 or the S8 or S8+. I know people with the S8 and the S8+ and let me tell you the Note8 is Superior to both of those phones. Number one the build quality and the looks. The Note8 looks and feels like a more premium phone than the S8 and the +. The S8 and especially the + feels like something is missing inside of them. The Note8 is solid. Then the Note8 has a bigger and brighter screen than the S8 and +. Then it just plain looks sexier than those two. Then the Note8 has software the other 2 don't have. Then we go to the Spen that's a point all by itself!!! So these crack pots making these videos are crazy. But everyone has their own opinions. But that does not mean they are right. I love my Note8 would not trade it for a S8 or + for any amount of money.
