[General Questions and Answers] delrod:
Hey guys,

I've been using XDA for quite a while, but so far the community as a whole has been so helpful and thorough that I have never needed to make an account and post, so if any part of this post is wrong or in the wrong section please feel free to move or close this thread.

Now down to business: recently, some old Moto Droid 2 Globals resurfaced at my house, and as they are

very

old and outdated I figured I would re-purpose them into a few projects I'm working on, as they probably won't be extremely useful in any other ways. Here is my problem though: in order to use them how I would like, they must be rooted. Rooting is not my problem: I have rooted one of them many times when I was still using it (I might or might not have bricked it one or seven times while trying to install custom ROMs so flashing, rooting, and every other aspect of un-bricking is familiar to me). HOWEVER, ALL THE FILES NEEDED TO DOWNGRADE, ROOT, REFLASH AND RESTORE DO NOT EXIST ANYMORE!. This is one of those times where things on the internet actually disappear, as quite a few of the mirrors to the files I need were hosted on the gem of the internet back in the early 2010s, MegaUpload. The rest of the files were linked to personal servers, smaller and now nonexistent file hosting companies, or were straight up removed from their links. So what I'm asking is:

if you ever had to root a Motorola Droid 2 Global running GingerBread 2.3.4, System Version 4.5.629.A956.Verizon.en.US

, and for some reason

you still have the files required to root it

, could you upload it and post a link in the comments? I will list the necessary files below in case you would like to scour the internet as I have, or if you want to check that the files you might have are the ones needed. I will also post links to a few guides so if you want to refresh yourself or see how the process is done you can do so without extra searches.

And seriously guys, thanks in advance. Even if no one has the files, this community has helped me out so much over the years that a thank you was way overdue.

[Xposed General] marcdw:
What do you mean "error 1"? Where did you see that? You didn't try to flash the installer app I hope.

It is an apk that is installed normally like other apps, within the ROM.

You are leaving out important information, such as what you are doing when the errors happen.

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] V'Ger:
I know that question will probably sound really dumb, but can someone tell me on the Moto X4 (Android One) what the device is that I have highlighted in red on the image of Moto X4 included this thread? Here is what I have been able to identify on the phone - selfie flash (top left), speaker (top center),

"device in question" (2nd from top right - next to front camera)

, front camera (top right), microphone (bottom left) and fingerprint reader (bottom center). I am asking this because I am looking for a glass screen protector and none of the ones that I have found which claim to be for the Moto X4 show an opening for this device. No where online, nor even in read me guide that came with the phone can I find what this is, and most pictures online do not even show it (not even the official Moto X4 phone pics on the Motorola website, or Project Fi website show it either). I can't imagine covering up whatever this is will be a good idea and not interfere with proper function. Maybe imagers of the screen protectors are just mock photos since the Moto X4 hasn't been released when until just a few days ago and also I have noticed that the glass protectors I have found are not being released until the end of November, so maybe the manufacturers are waiting on releasing the protectors until after they officially knew what all of the punch out/openings that will be needed. Any help on identifying what this is on front of the phone would greatly appreciated.

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] V'Ger:
I just figured out that 2nd from the front top right is the proximity sensor. Glad that is cleared up.

:)
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] DiDGR8:
All the screen protectors that I've seen so far have a "notch" all the way across the top from the selfie flash to the selfie camera that leaves the flash/notification LED/speaker/proximity and light sensor/camera uncovered. At the bottom, the microphone should be exposed (but some bad designs don't have an opening!) and the fingerprint reader often has a "notch" that is open at the bottom rather than completely encircled as your example above shows.

It's 100% the proximity sensor

I love the OnePlus camera app and I love the dual camera. However, I've used the FreedomOS ROM (great ROM), but whenever an OxygenOS update's available, all my pictures turn solid green! This only happens on the OnePlus camera. Google camera works, but as far as I know, it only works with single camera.

Are there any good cameras I can use with the dual camera (that are free if possible)?

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android2819:
Hi. As the title says i'm constantly being hit with this issue. Whenever i try to backup my phone via smart switch PC, it backups up everything except APPLICATION data.

Like, i have about 70 apps on my phone which hang around 10GB of space. It says there are no applications installed and won't back them up no matter what.

I've tried this with an older version of smart switch, as well with the latest one. I'm stuck and i don't know what to do.

Strange thing is that this worked last time i did this, few months ago. But i can't figure out what is wrong this time, as it's the same version of smart switch.

Anyone know any workarounds? Thanks in advance.

Sorry for late reply. I am not rooted, can i still backup everything to titanium/helium? Also i've never heard of hope before. I am mainly looking for a way to backup everything without being rooted.

For titanium backup and helium root is required. And apologies I didn't mean hope I meant Google. Google account can back up app data I'm sure
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] n3far1us:
Shipped my Pixel XL back on time with 8 days in hand. It took 4 days to reach the local USPS. Now its in a Delivery Attempt limbo for the past couple days. Leaving me with only 3 days in hand to meet the 30 day mark. Looks like the company responsible for trade-in verification, Apto Solution is only open from 9:00am to 5:30pm M-F. Not sure how is this supposed to work under this circumstances.

USPS message: "Your item is being held at the Post Office in ATLANTA, GA 30318 on October 31, 2017 at 6:22 pm because the business was closed. The item will be delivered the next delivery day that the business is open. If this item is unclaimed after 15 days then it will be returned to the sender."

Anyone else in the same boat? Already sent a message to big G, awaiting on their replies. Any advice or idea will be appreciated. Although, don't think we can do a whole lot, even though the clock is ticking.

I can't believe yours is exactly as mine, just checked about a half hour ago, my USPS update:

Same issue here

Seems that there are a lot of these issues, sent my pixel Xl on the 18 th of October. Same boat. The good news is we now have 50 days from the time we received our Pixel 2 XL

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

Left an email with Apto Solutions, explaining the need for them to get the phones from the post office as they cannot be delivered during their hours. I explained it might be a lot of phones and people are getting upset.

Also left voicemail for them to call me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Raistlin1:
I have the exact same delivery delay since the 22nd. Contacted Google twice and was promised a response but nothing, contacted them today and was given the run around but they did say this is an issue affecting many shipments. Guess they weren't lying.

Exact same shipping response here. Will call Google to see what's up. Mine has also said out for delivery 4 days in a row. Didn't give me the closed business until 10/31.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wattsja:
Same here, but this morning, it shows delivered as of yesterday afternoon. Also, keep in mind, it is 30 days from the day you accept delivery of your new device .. not 30 days from the start of the trade in process (at least through 12/31/17).

Through December 31, 2017, Trade-In Period means 30 calendar days from the date You receive a new device that you purchase when accepting the Initial Trade-In Quote through the Websites.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] byproxy:
same boat here. mine's been in limbo since the 28th after a failed delivery attempt. no update on the usps website for my shipment since then. fortunately i have a bud who works for the usps so i'm having him get me a more up to date status report. will report back once i find something out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] imritechere:
Phone limbo

Spoke with a person at Apto Solutions, they are to advise the person over Google Trade In to contact the post office to get the phones from the Post Office or arrange delivery.

I was also told the phones are coming in by the 1000's and that they are being picked up by Apto.

On hold with project-fi right now and I'm p'd off. P'd off to the tune of $150.

This sounds like premeditated bullya!

Hyla is the company's name, the gal says (got her to spell it for me) my msg for a supervisor will get sent to one, but she doesn't know if one of them will call me back on Monday.:rolleyes: Can't make the foreman reply if he doesn't want to, know `cause I was one.

WOW this is as bad as the dnc just getting caught rigging their 2016 primary!

Google is trusting a company in my region at least that isn't trustworthy enough to be open when the USPS tries to deliver peoples +/- $650.00 phones for a trade in. Trade in for $150 in my case and the tracking lookup says it's insured for $50. That is not enough if they lose or break my 6P that I was using successfully the day I wiped it and sent it to them.

theres an issue with usps.. just give it time.. trade in shall be completed in a matter of days
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
I contacted Google about this same problem. My delivery was also in delivery limbo for 3-4 days until it finally arrived at the company doing the trade-ins. I asked about the value and they said your initial quote is what you will get as long as you sent it in with inthe 30 day period. 30 days being from the time you receive your Pixel 2 XL from Google. She also called the 3rd party company and informed me that they are very behind and it will take about 2 weeks~ for them to assess the trade in and apply the credit. Then it will take however many days it takes for your financial institution to credit your account. All we can really do is just wait as we are at the mercy of Google. My Pixel XL is in mint condition if they ding me I definitely will not deal with the Trade-In next year. Swappa probably will be faster and easier and probably will make the same or close to it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] swapgut:
No, the problem is with the entity that isn't even open for normal hours. Post office tried to deliver for us.

Yep, I thought alphabet was such a large corporation that they could handle the logistics of all this. I won't do the trade in with them ever again either.

Maybe they should have called BDO?

But if I get the shaft on this thing and someone with the time and where-with-all is fighting them I will sign up.

I'm not a litigious kind of person either, their ineptness to get this done (if it does get to the point of them reneging on my offer `cause they didn't get the 6P) just ticks me off!

Can any one pls make it possible to use stock like android status bar and notification shade on miui 8/9. I tried material notification shade app but not satisfied with it. I have TWRP installed. Can any one pls make it possible. Thanks in advance ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] seilogeo:
Why you are not satisfied, you have a miui rom with material notification shade. The next thing is to flash a los or aosp rom. Sorry but there is nothing in the middle.

I had the same problem. At the end I sticked with a miui rom like epic rom.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _yassh_:
Miui notification shade sucks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _yassh_:
But stock notification is so quick and smooth. It consumes a lot of time. Miui notification shade is the worst part of it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] r.Ry4N.05:
The only solution would be to install an AOSP/CAF-based ROM altogether. To get what you want, you must replace MIUI's SystemUI (the notifications shade and statusbar are a part of it). But I don't think AOSP's SystemUI and MIUI are compatible with each other.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _yassh_:
Wish there could be an xposed module or something else tweak.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] msacco4:
I am at the same boat as you but otherwise, I want to use the aosp android but with miui status bar and notification settings, I've tried almost anything besides actually doing it on my own, but as someone else said, I just don't think that miui and android are compatible to mod with each other..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bio24:
Just wait for new MIUI notification shade guys... It will update soon.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dadovvv:
i dont think it will be a soon.. xiaomi devs had a much time in miui 9 beta program to include this feature in system..but no they ignore that..they actually not fixed some double notification issue on some app like WhatsApp where we can see examle "67 new messages" X2

same problem on miui 8.5 and now in miui 9 without fixing that.

EDIT: after reading changelog on new 7.11.2 beta weakly miui9 i find they fixed double notification issue finally, but still no word for new notification shade.

is this possible? i can't seem to find anywhere to download/flash the OS? but i am new to this, so maybe lookingp in the wrong places.

any help gratefully received! :)
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] PixelBoot:
Ok, It seems like you need help!

So J320FN isn't getting Marshmallow, but there are what we call in XDA and anywhere else, Custom ROMS!

Now this practically optimizes your device for better performance, along with a newer version of Android!

When you searched for your device (SM-J320FN) you probably found LineageOS.

LineageOS is a Custom ROM for a big variety of devices.

Now for the J320FN we have LineageOS 13.0 (Marshmallow) and LineageOS 14.1 (Nougat), while have LineageOS 15 (Oreo) in the works thanks to our crew including the Main dev, djeman.

Now to flash Custom ROMS you need a recovery which you flash via Odin.

Then copy the ROM zip to the SD or Device storage.

Boot into recovery by holding VOL. UP+POWER+HOME at boot.

Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage (If you put ROM on SD) and System.

Then Flash the ROM with Gapps (Google Apps, Such as Play store...)

Wait and Reboot ;)

thanks so much [MENTION=8086838]Diamond26[/MENTION]!

i'd played around with a couple of installations with no joy... but in the process have installed Odin, so am aware of that.

my main reason for wanting to do this, is to be able to access adaptable storage. 8gb device space is a joke! I've installed maybe 2 or 3 apps, but apps can't be updated as it's already out of space (even though 400mb is available)! totally unusable!

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Kaiyum:
Im currently on a J320FN with a stock 5.1 rom (manually updated via sammobile) but have instead done the following :

1. Got a good Android kitchen (A bash/shell program that makes creating roms easy as could be) I woukd suggest SuperR's Kitchen due to it being the most updated one. On XDA portal?

2. Downloaded the firmware i want from sammobile.

3. Debloated the rom (option in the kitchen to remove unwanted apps from system/app or system/priv-app) making space.

4. Added Supersu (again the kitchen walks you through all the options for rooting the rom).

5. Added my own apps to run as system (such as adaway or nova launcher to replace TouchWiz)

6. Created the rom and flashed the zip.

Now im on partitioning the system block in order to save 2gb of space i dont need since the new system is 780mb from 1.9gb..

Both ways are good and safe / stable if you are careful, it's just that one provides updates and sources and build threads (LOS) , the other is a great and fun way to learn more about android and rom building plus you get to have it 100% YOUR WAY.. With building your own rom using the kitchen you can even go as far as editing the settings apk to rearrange the options or add ur own... And many more thing to discover...

Good luck no matter what you choose to take from this wonderful community!

Peace
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] idklol123:
I tried it for the same reason and it turned out to be a mistake. The rom I tried (Lineage 13) is full of display bugs. Now I lost my original firmware and probably voided the warranty. Your best bet is just to move your apps to the SD card instead
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Kaiyum:
Your warranty is void, im sure Lineage OS has the appropriate notice about this..

Yiu could seek help about your issue, perhaps there is something along the lines that you missed.. Wiping dalvik and or cache and re trying it could help..You should always do a nandroid backup using twrp or cwm recovery or even Titanium Backup / My Backup Pro. It is something that you should practice since you're messing with any type of software and hard-flashing firmware.

Again, consider a stock rom with root and xposed module, a partitioned system block and deodexed apks..

You can get firmware releases for your country and carrier from sammobile.com anfd flash it via odin. That should give you OTA updates and stock stability...

Peace
