Thank you BIFFTAZ. I appreciate your reply. It was driving me crazy not finding it. I ended up resetting my device in frustration and will let you know once I get my Shield back up and running.
[Shield Android TV General] Xaph0d:
Thanks muchly, Neo3D!

It's been working fine for me for the last 10 days or so on my 2015 16GB. Netflix is still working too - I'd read somewhere that they'd made it stop working on rooted devices but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Hopefully the setup will survive the next Plex Media Server update !

BTW, after much unsuccessful faffing around with ES File Explorer etc, in the end I removed the existing PlexMediaServer via:

adb shell # on your PC
su # you will have to grant superuser access when asked by the SU app
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /system # mount /system as read-writeable
cd /system/app
rm -rf PlexMediaServer
[Shield Android TV General] coolpal:
Does this method work for the latest version of Shield with the latest software (just got one last week) ?

If yes, do any of the steps above change for it, or can I follow them to the dot?

TIA for the help... and Thank you OP for the awesome work!
[Shield Android TV General] goose2600:
[MENTION=763587]Neo3D[/MENTION], tank you so mutch, your trick worked like a charm (on my Nvidia Shield TV 2017, 16GB, Nvidia Experience 6.2)!

I've been spent a lot of time searching a solution to the Plex server and 16GB Shield limitation, and finally I got Plex working on the adopted storage!

(I suggest to [MENTION=2854207]snickler[/MENTION] or others moderators, to post this solution as a sticky post)

I also made some R/W performance tests:

1) insternal Shield storage: 210/40

2) KingFast SSD, 30GB, 1,8 inch, mSATA III, MLC (adopted storage) + Inateck USB 3.0 SSD mSATA, USB 3.0: 210/97

3) SanDisk Ultra Fit, 32GB, usb 3.0 (adopted storage) : 80/30

Hi, I have a question: did you managed to manually install plugins like Trakt or WebTools?

Yeah, it works!

You can follow the step-by-step from the OP, in case of troubles uninstalling Plex server you can follow the steps provided by [MENTION=3284546]Xaph0d[/MENTION].

When starting Plex server for the first time, pay attention to the pop-up asking for w/r permission.

Then profit it! ;)
[Shield Android TV General] GrandStar:
How did you do this performance tests?
[Shield Android TV General] coolpal:
Thanks.. was able to root it.

Had to splice two usb cables to make A to A cable.

Now stuck on deleting PlexMediaServer. Using the method suggested by [MENTION=3284546]Xaph0d[/MENTION], and get a prompt from superuser which i granted, but still see "Read-only file system". Any ideas what could be wrong?
[Shield Android TV General] goose2600:
Just using A1 SD Bench android app.

It is not science, but crearly demonstrate as adopted storage can be fast. :)

Try this:

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /system
[Shield Android TV General] coolpal:
Thanks [MENTION=3202335]goose2600[/MENTION]

I am able to get it all working!

Can I migrate my existing PMS library metadata from Windows 10 machine to Shield?
[Shield Android TV General] goose2600:
Probably you can, but as I am new to Plex (and also re-reading the steps 9 and 11 of this guide) I don't know how Plex create the library, so I preferred to start from the scratch.

Now I would like just to find a way to install any unsupported plugins. If you will ever know the way, let me know ;)

EDIT: To get unsupported plugins to works, we have justs to symlink the Plug-ins folder located in the data folder present in the external adopted storage (which is no writable) to a new folder located on the /sdcdard, which is writable.
[Shield Android TV General] toanau:
I just graded to higher external HD from smaller HD. My device is not rooted and stock. I don't how I managed use my original HD as my plex server for all my movies. Now trying to figure out update it where the shield would recognize the new HD
[Shield Android TV General] gordyuk:
Thanks for this guide, got it all working! Apart from one thing....

For some reason Plex is not downloading all the metadata, movie posters etc. It will only download maybe a handful or two, but not my whole library.

I had no issues when Plex was on the internal storage, but a nightmare now on the external storage. What can I do to fix this please?
[Shield Android TV General] goose2600:
Be sure to follow the guide step by step, even steps 9, 10 and 11.

Pay also attention to give the r/w permission when Plex will ask for them (it is pretty easy to dismiss the request).

I moved Plex data on two devices following this guide, and always worked without any troubles.
[Shield Android TV General] gordyuk:
I've followed the guide exactly, especially those steps. Still don't get why it's only downloading some metadata and not all my library. Will have to post a screenshot later
[Shield Android TV General] JuStAdsor:
Without root

I belive it shoud work also without root doing this:

1. Enable Developer mode

2. Enable ADB via usb in developer

3. run:

adb devices

4. Give permission on the screen

5. run:

adb shell

6. run:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.plexapp.mediaserver.smb

(this will uninstall the app from curent user 0)

7. Reinstall Plex Server form store
[Shield Android TV General] darealwy:
Have you tried this? I was thinking the same thing, since this works great with removing leanback launcher.
[Shield Android TV General] JuStAdsor:
Unfortunately I don't have time in this period to try it, but I believe you can give it a go since it is harmless.

If you test it, please post it here also.

[Shield Android TV General] ady199:
I think this has worked, however I can't seem to re-install Plex from the Google Playstore...just just says 'Install pending'
[Shield Android TV General] WhimsySpoon:
Just tried this. PMS installs OK, however the option to move the App to USB storage isn't available. Selecting Storage Used as detailed in the instructions doesn't do anything. I've tried this on a non-system app, and the option to move to USB was provided.
[Shield Android TV General] F3NDER:
I would be interested in knowing how you performed these tests; so I can do the same tests and compare my adoptive storage. I'm using a USB 3.0 Portable Seagate drive; I do notice some lag now that I have my PMS on adoptive storage thanks to this POST. contemplating external SSD; does the Shield support USB 3.1 ??

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

I Also had issues with the removal using es file explorer only to realize that SuperSU# got automatically moved to Adoptive storage and seems to break SU access. Once moved back to Internal Storage works like a charm once provided root access.

I must have subscribed to the Access / Beta program and got the latest BETA of the PMS server; it was constantly crashing when adding media to my libraries... I gave up and reverted back to the latest GA version of PLEX and works perfectly.

... So tried both the adb uninstal method and SuperSu along with ES File explorer and both methods worked perfectly. (make sure SuperSu is not on adoptive storage)

Oddly I had to move SuperSU# at least three times so far; seems to move all user apps to adoptive even if I manually moved it to internal storage; is that to be expected or do I have to turn off that option to force to adoptive regardless of manifest (or something like that)??
[Shield Android TV General] IdleWildI:
How do you reinstall the "plex server"? The one I install from store seems to be just the client portion and doesn't reinstall server, I keep getting "No Servers Found. server version 0.9.7.13 or higher required". Doesn't matter if I sign in, or skip through initial screen. What gives?

Thanks!
[Shield Android TV General] IdleWildI:
Had to push it from my PC's web browser play store. All good now.

Has anyone successfully migrated your current PMS to this rooted version? I'd like to retain stats and settings if possible, but I know rooting it will wipe everything.
[Shield Android TV General] intelintelintel:
Hey guys,

I had decided I would root my shield this weekend, but then started reading the comments. The last few posters mentioned that they were attempting to get this to work without rooting the device. Can you guys/anyone else confirm this? Would LOVE to save myself the extra steps!
[Shield Android TV General] i2fat2kidnap:
Just got done rooting/moving PMS over to the adopted storage w/o a hitch! Thank you for the wonderful guide.

I am running into an issue where TV Show themes are not being downloaded. Metadata and other things are, just not theme music. Anyone else having the same problem?
[Shield Android TV General] liqianghua:
Have any of you that used the method above tried the new beta that allows for external storage and successful migrated back to that setup without losing your metadata?
[Shield Android TV General] tangabudhav:
Thank you for this guide. This is what I need. :o
[Shield Android TV General] liqianghua:
To answer my own question, I figured it out. I didn't backup my metadata except for the database and preference settings. I then removed Plex Server completely and then reinstalled it. Once I made sure during the setup to not have it autocreate libraries. Once I created a small library on my own, I shut down the server and replaced the database and preferences with my backup. I opened Server to make sure it was successful, then went into the server settings and migrated my metadata to my external Samsung T5 500GB drive. So far it has worked flawless. I did have to go through and replace all the covers and other images. Hope this helps.
[Shield Android TV General] aatifsumar:
Just got a Shield today. As of Nov 2018, do we still need to root to do this?
[Shield Android TV General] liqianghua:
No, you no longer need to root your device.
[Shield Android TV General] aatifsumar:
Thanks. What would my steps be then? Enabled Dev Options and allowed moving to external. How should I get the plex app to move to my adopted storage SSD?

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] schwim:
Hi there,

I have an issue with the phone where I'm unable to tell the phone that I want to answer an incoming call.

When a call comes in, my phone will ring or vibrate but the incoming call display never shows up. If my screen is off it will stay off and if it's on my home screen during the incoming call, there's nothing visual to indicate an incoming call. If I click the phone icon, it goes to the screen that asks me whether I'd like to make a new call or return to the current call. If I choose to return, the call will then be answered. Otherwise, it shows the missed call icon and in the call log.

I don't know what to do to resolve this issue and would love some help with the problem.

Thanks for your time!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gilligan759:
This has been a problem for a while with my Galaxy s8+. I'll be playing a game (using my phone horizontally) and the screen will flip upside down for no apparent reason. Playing tense games with this problem is infuriating to say the least.

I have searched many places for an answer to this. But whenever I try to specify my problem to Google it always comes up with another problem that has nothing to do with mine.

The question: Is there a button/function thing on my phone to disable the screen flipping around everywhere?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] zsg1313:
Hi Folks,

Odd question maybe but I just got my pre-ordered Pixel 2 in today and am moving everything over. I have opted for the trade-in program since it estimates $380 value and with ebay and paypal fees I would be in the same ballpark regardless.

So this was a company Verizon purchased phone which I got on the earlier bootloader version so it was quickly unlocked, rooted etc. Long story short the company phone plan (awesome deal) is gone and I switched to google Fi a few months ago with great success. My question is, seeing as I am on the latest Pure Nexus build is when downloading the factory Sailfish images from Google to restore to stock do I want the Verizon specific version (of 7.1.2 i assume since that is the PN build) or do I want the version that specifies Fi or the one that specifies nothing at all? Any advise would be appreciated, thanks!

edit: also I was not planning on relocking the bootloader, only flashing stock. Any reason they would deny my trade-in for something like that?

Link to images: https://developers.google.com/android/images
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] FernBch:
Not sure if it would be a problem or not. If you are returning through a trade in program it may be best to return it to complete stock on a VZW build, even if it is an earlier build. You could even relock it then shut it off so it doesn't update. That way there are no issues as you returned a stock, Verizon branded Pixel.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] zsg1313:
Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I am up in the air at this point having both devices side by side. The 1 feels much more durable and I dont like the 3.5mm jack missing on the 2, I'll give it a week but may keep the original Pixel. I can say the camera is much better on the new one but sadly it just feels cheaper.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mruno:
if they had included a 3.5mm port i would have purchased a pixel 2 as well :/

i may buy in a few months if i get tired the OG pixel

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeBrown93:
Hey guys, this is my first Thread in xdadevelopers :)

I am pretty new to coding and all this "behind the UI" stuff, but i am eager to learn more, since its really fun.

So i have got a new Phone : the ulefone power 2 with MTK6750T Prozessor. It has quite the battery with 6000mah, but i still wanted to root the device to archieve like one week battery time or so xD

I rooted, installed TWRP recovery and some apps, everything just went fine. I didnt install a custom rom, since i didnt find any for this phone. Well, i wont buy mtk phones anymore, since they dont offer open source code with all its community possibilities :(

Anyway, today the touchscreen suddenly stopped working. I thought its a common bug, restarted it. Now it wont start the OS anymore, its only booting in TWRP. I dont remember well, but it said something like "phone is not safe, gotta factory reset".

Since i have TWRP, i just did the reset. Without success though. Its still booting into recovery and cant shut down either, whatever i chose in TWRP options.

My next thought was flashing a new ROM with TWRP, which doesnt work due to "zip file is corrupt" error, even though its the stock file from ulefone.com

Since TWRP has a command terminal, it might be possible to use to stop the recovery bootloop when connecting to pc? in this case i might be able to use adb, but atm i cant, and the battery is non removable

I dont care that much about having a phone, i could just buy a new one (xiaomi redmi note 4x it would be), but i would really like to fix this and enlarge my knowledge for situations to come.

Hopefully someone of the professionals here can help. There is a similar Thread already by drkeey, but in my case i can still use TWRP with my mouse, so there might be hope.

Hi !

I have a problem and i've been looking for a solution for many days.

My goal is to run an application minimized or hidden on windows mobile 6.0.

But classes Process and ProcessStartInfo are different in my Visual Studio 2008 (dotnet 3.5 with compact framework), see also the link :

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0w4h05yb.aspx

Indeed, there is no "WindowStyle" in class ProcessStartInfo

(startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized

If you know a solution, please tell me.

Thank you to all in advance.

Best regards.
