[Verizon LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
So guys I figured I would start a new thread to see if we could make our g5 great again.

So Obviously we don't have root. Don't let that get you down.

A lot of these no root mods are well known, some not.

Most of these can be found on play store.

1st app is a must is an app called status. It no root changes status bar icons bat gauge and other status bar tweaks. It has a few flaws but works great

Biggest flaw is first screen when display turned on orig status bar is displayed but is quickly overrode once unlocked or another screen is displayed. Force closes a lot but never stops overall 4.5 out of 5 in my book....

2nd. Is only if you are using VS987 on gsm like me on Cricket. After a couple months of searches and trial and error I got MMS to work. I assume cricket and AT&T are nearly the same . On top of my reg apn for data I had to use a second apn Fot instance My reg apn is NDO And second for mms starts as AIOMMS.

Then with a few tweaks in textra I finally sent and received mms on data and wifi.

3rd I ditched the clock on status bar and installed 3d flip clock like on old HTC sense. IMO better than googles weather and clock wiget.

4th I use pitch black walpaper and icon changer but have not done it yet to my g5.

Other good looking no root apps I have seen is system ui tuner has to be enabled with adb.

Wakelock detector now has a no root setup.

Some guys say a blue light filter helps with screen retention. Any one use one on theres?

What are some of the no root apps you guys use?

So after more playing around ADB reboot recovery = no command hold power and tap up to get to stock recovery......

Again lets make our G5 great again.
[Verizon LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
So we do have a factory recovery menu. Go through adb reboot recovery. Then on no command. Press power and tap vol up.

I have status, material notification shade I actually paid for it, it's nice. I use system ui tuner and forcedoze both with adb stuffs to help. Topped off with lawnchair launcher and some fancy widget

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebestofall007:
Hello, all.

I have a straight talk samsung galaxy s3 sch-s698c I was able to flash cwm and lineage os 14 onto with no problem, but I have a couple of questions and issues, though:

1. what issues would be encountered if I activate this phone thru straight talk with a custom rom? I ask because I was unable to find the exact lineage OS build for the sch-s698c, but used the one for the Verizon model, the sch-i535, which DOES work. How do I activate this phone with that Verizon ROM on it? I haven't activated it yet.

2. I am having a weird issue with usb otg working. I am able to plug in one of those dual end usb thumb drives that has a micro USB end with no problems, but when I use an otg cable (which I had to order) and a USB stick, hard drive, etc nothing happens. I want to access the files on my laptop, which kicked the bucket, and the hard drive is still good and is connected to a sata to USB adapter. I have tried using various otg apps, such as usb otg helper, apps that detect for otg capability, and tried testing the otg cable on a phone that I knew had otg to see if the cable was bad, but it wasn't. When I tested for otg, the API was there in the os, but the system was unable to detect the otg signal. How is a dual end USB drive able to communicate with this phone, but the otg cable not??? I have also tried using the stock firmware for this phone, which I had backed up before flashing lineage os; no-go. What do I have to do to fix this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebestofall007:
Update:

I used a tool called "USB host controller" and it reports "no root hub found" and also reports "s3c root host driver was not found". What does this mean?? I tried to find this driver all over the internet, but it's a needle in a haystack.

HOWEVER, I run this program with the dual ended thumb drive plugged into this phone, and it reports a root hub and the phone in host mode. While this phone works with thumb drives that have a micro USB end, I still don't know why it won't work with an otg cable, SMH... Are there any circuits in the dual end drives that make otg work, or otg USB hubs that have such circuits?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebestofall007:
Okay folks, I feel like a TOTAL IDIOT right now. I solved the USB otg problem by placing a sliver of a business card in the bottom of the charging port before inserting the otg cable. Apparently the otg plug fits too loosely in the charging port due to wear and had a bad connection. Now it works.

Now to the activation question...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McXred:
What do you mean by activation? the sim thing? if its that i think you can do it only on stock rom
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebestofall007:
Activation as in getting cell service restored. To my knowledge, the phone does not need a sim if using stock rom. I was able to purchase a plan and activate w no sim, but only with stock. I couldn't activate it using a custom rom.

However, I did find a good thread on this with a little diggin: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-verizon/development/guide-to-flashsetup-sim-apn-cm-cm-based-t3351290. According to this thread, i will need to get a deactivated Verizon sim and a BYOP activation kit for straight talk or something like that to restore service to an sch-s698c using cyanogenmod based roms intended to work with the sch-i535. I don't have a Verizon sim yet and would like to look into this later. What do you think?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] skinnytoo2:
Do you guys think over the next year it could really affect the use of phone? I've never had any problems with screen burn in so I don't know much about it. Just wondering as I really love my XL, but I'll return it if it's going to be an issue later on. I do have a little burn now.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] NOSTALGIA:
for me, its never an issue unless u look at it everyday and get bothered.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rsbenedict:
I just discovered it in my Pixel XL. I would have never noticed it until I did the gray screen test. In normal use, it just doesn't matter.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Negotiator50:
I tend to agree. However, is there a chance that it can get worse where it does become visible in normal use over the 2-3 years we will have the phone?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sdelcegno:
I have had more oled phones than I can remember. Every single one has had burn in my note 4 had it th worst. It was never an issue 99 percent of the time. It really is only noticed on very specific solid color screens and even then you don't really. My pixel XL had it I didn't even notice till I checked the other day .
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ktmom:
IMHO the nav bar and status bar are the worst offenders. Using expanded desktop helps by keeping the icons off the screen except when you need them.

"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Traceguy:
No no no. A lot of people are looking at this issue in an inverted way. Literally everything except the navigation bar and notification bar is burnt. With OLED black=off.

When looking at the grey image, the navigation bar stands out because it's not burnt. The buttons on the nav bar are burnt, and if you check, they will match the top 95% of the screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sdelcegno:
This is normal black is off so the nav and status bar will always be less burned than the rest of th screen it just stands out because of it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Traceguy:
Right, I am saying the nav bar isn't burnt. I am seeing alot of people blaming the nav bar for the screen burn-ins when it's the opposite.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ktmom:
Your right. I was being lazy. It's the buttons and it drives me nuts. Immersive mode (expanded desktop) relieves the problem for me.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sharkie405:
Good point. One that's perfectly obvious now that you mention it. The good side to that is that making the navbar dynamic should alleviate that issue. I've always preferred a dynamic navbar, and like you said, a dynamic navbar would cause the navbar to burn equally with the rest of the screen, thereby making the whole issue null and void. Burn navbar burn!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CBMC:
While that is correct, the navbar still is the problem. People wouldn't be complaining if the screen was degrading at a uniform rate.

I had the galaxy nexus. Man, that phone had some burn in... Same with the Samsung s3. My nexus 6 has burn in. For a long time I was trying to run inverse mode with just the navbar active to try to wear the pixels at a more uniform rate. That seemed to help though I stopped doing it long ago. That being said, my wife's note 8 isn't seeing any burn in after a month. Now, I am sure it will come eventually, but a week seems really quick.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rajendra82:
I had a 6P for 2 years (on eBay sale now if interested) and saw no burn in. My Pixel 2XL is a few days old, and I don't see any burn in either. I keep my phone at 50% brightness, because anything above sgives me eye strain. Maybe that is a contributing factor to those getting burn in.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] blcklab:
Beyond brightness, doing anything special? Immersive mode? I think the culprit on my pixel is Waze. Hours on end. I don't think everyday use like Facebook YouTube etc will impact my device as much.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] BoozYooNit:
I guess my eyesight must really blow because I don't see any burn-in/discoloration on the 2 XL that I've had for 5 days or on the Nexus 6 that I've had for over 2 years. No sense changing my prescription now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jasbur17:
I don't really notice burn-in but image retention. When I bring up the full-screen grey image i still see the navbar but it slowly goes away. Just to be safe for now, I downloaded navbar app from the play store. I changed my navbar to be white in mostly white apps like chrome or facebook. Makes it harder to see the nav buttons that are also white/shadow, but I know where they are.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] blcklab:
I'm debating between navbar app or immersive mode. Always on navbar is certainly more convenient

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] blcklab:
Do you think that's at least equal to immersive mode? It's definitely a lot more convenient
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Raistlin1:
I assume we need an app to have immersive mode?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mac796:
Try custom navigation bar. It has immersive mode
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
It definitely will fight against the odds of getting burn in due to uneven wear. It doesn't work for some apps and others you have to manually assign a color. I personally will still use immersive mode for some apps as I prefer the full screen experience. I couldn't say with 100% certainty if they're equal or not. But since Google is following suit with a software upgrade, it definitely will help prevent it. I still have zero burn in to this day and average 5-6 hours of screen on time everyday.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] blcklab:
Thanks. My xl 2 is supposed to arrive today. One of the first things I do will set up navbar app and immersive mode

My pixel has some image retention. I suspect Waze was the biggest culprit. Instead of just adb'ing immersive mode I think I'll use an app with which I can turn it on and off and turn it on when I use screen intensive apps like navigation.
[General Questions and Answers] Samuel Sugner:
Im currently using a Verizon SM-G930V (Samsung Galaxy S7), the regular one. Not the Edge.

I need assistance with rooting this device using Odin 3.12.3 on Android version 7.0, Knox 2.7.1, running security patch Feb 1, 2017, WITHOUT bricking the phone. Luckily I was able to recover the device myself by reinstalling it's stock firmware.

I haven't found any useful guides on how to root this specific device so I would really appreciate replies here. Last time I tried this, I got bootlooped, but willing to redo with some help. Give me everything I need to root this, other than Odin and the USB drivers, which I already have. Also, im a noob to this.

it will be 100% compatible, because the parts are the same, the conections too so...you're ok to do that. Only thing you can expect is in software part the bands from 4G network maybe dont be the same. other than that you're good to replace from H900 to a F600 mainboard.

Call *2 and tell them the issue, they have made a ticket# but they say that the more calls, the faster it gets prioritized.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] xtreme929:
Yeah that's what I did the other day and the tech said he would make a ticket, and guess what I called back today and the person I spoke to said that there was no such ticket made on my account and that it was a "nation wide" prob and they don't create ticket for them. He also stated that if they do create a ticket they would call you back about it and that your not supposed to call back in to reference it. So what to heck gives :mad: I mean we all know that their customer service has had their share of prob, but now their tech support. Come on SPRINT!!!

By the way I find it kinda funny how a couple of weeks ago we lost MMS on the Mogul and the other day they had noooooo prob letting us know about their "billing system upgrade" through text message happening in a couple of days and dam now sloooow to almost no internet. I really wonder if alot of this has to do with this Wimax that should be rolling out anytime now. But who the hell know I just wanna get the service I've been paying for. Grrrrrrrr

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spotter300:
Hi guys,

I was running twrp 3.0.1-0 with the unofficial linage build, however once I flashed the office build I seem to have gone to what looks like a stock recovery (when you try to flash anything you get a white circle with various colours sliding in and out of phase). Whilst the OS seems fine, I can't seem to flash anything anymore, gapps, supersu etc even via ADB sideload. It will appear to flash successfully, but nothing will have worked. I can boot into fastboot still but that won't let me flash TWRP either.

I read that revoking that the USB privileges would help but when I do that I don't get any pop-up asking for privileges, even after I wiped it and flashed it again, via the stock recovery.

To be honest I could live without TWRP but without gapps (play store) I can't do much.

Any advise or help would be most welcomed.

Thanks!
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootk1t:
Official LOS doesn't have TWRP built-in, and never had, as i remember.

Use opengapps app to install gapps. For root use SuperSU.

If you still need twrp, use kernel (boot.img) from unofficial one.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] p7810456:
I have an LG V20 H990DS that I want to modify the build.prop file on. This would usually take rooting but judging from another thread, that is very complicated and will make a red triangle show up on every boot, among other problems. Would it be possible to do this using adb backup with the system flag and then restoring it after all the changes are made, or is there another way. Thanks in advance!

Gang, I received the OTA in my phone this morning. I haven't installed it in my phone but I saved the update.zip.

More on this later.....

Sorry man but this has been out since last Friday I think. Yes, Nougat is finally here and its great.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ReaverRage:
Do the same mina kernel, twrp, and supersu work? I don't want to update and lose root.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] vekenti:
Mina kernel does not work as it is built for 6.0.1. But the same TWRP works, and you can still root the phone. You have to systemless root though.

Hoping to build a nougat kernel that has root restrictions removed and such. I just have to wait for Samsung to release the kernel source, but that could take months, and I don't even know if they are going to release source or not.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sameog:
OK good. This will save time from uploading it. I'm waiting for a stable root method.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] hightech316:
Ever since I've installed custom ROM, I don't receive any OTA.

Has anyone tried updating via smart switch? If so , does MM Roms still work?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK0010:
There is 2 stable root methods.magisk 14 or supersu systemless 2.82. Flash via twrp. Thats it.make sure to still flash encryption breaker zip after.

Correct, once u flash a kernel, rom, or twrp, u are not able to receive ota cuz u have a device status of custom vs official. U can get ota s again if u flash the last stock firmware via odin first. Then go to check for updates. Voila. Nougat 7.1.1.

Btw smart switch and any other samsung firmware app/program suck. Use updato.on play store

And if u do update, yes u can go back and forth between android versions
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] hightech316:
Isn't it possible to root OTA w/ supers kitchen ? By adding unsecure kernel ? Someone should post one! My WiFi is out:(

It will fail unless u either wipe EVERYTHING in twrp beforehand, or while in Odin, tick the nanderase all option as well. After successful flash, and setup shows on the screen.don't set it up.pull battery, go to download mode, vol down home, power. Flash the latest twrp by ashyx. He has a new version from a couple months ago. Then let twrp boot up, go to format data type yes. If u want root, flash SuperSU 2.82 or magisk 15.3, then the encryption break zip, reboot. Now setup your phone.
