[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zathus:
Pfft. OG G1!=P back when you had to destroy a SD card to root.

To the topic at hand. I rooted my pixel 2 XL two days ago. Still trying to figure out why lol. I tweaked the display a tad to make it a little warmer and that's about it. Rooting is about control. ROMs are about customization. And what's left to customize? You going to make the phone faster?

OP5 has lots of development. one yes it's cheaper. But two, it needs it. Trying to improve on the camera. Make it a little snappier. And honestly most of the ROMs over there run worse than stock.

Real ROM development was because most of the time you couldn't get the latest and greatest on your phone. So you get a ROM built off the latest AOSP so you could be running the most recent software. or you were on TouchWiz and wanted vanilla. Those days are dead.

I'm sure in the coming weeks a few ROMs will get cooked together. And the hardcore flashers will install it. Maybe it will be amazing but the simple fact is stock Android is so good the concept of rooting and ROMs is more novelty than necessary at this point

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fuzzyjonclay:
Hi there everyone

I was recently advised to perform a factory reset on a Samsung Galaxy A3 as the previous owner (a work colleague) had added a PIN to the phone that we couldn't get past. He has now left the company (denying all knowledge of adding a PIN code of course!) and I'm trying to pass the device over to a new colleague.

I performed the factory reset and have now come up against the Google verification where I'm asked to input the details of a Google account that was previously synced on the device. We never did sync a Google Account to the device so I'm unable to get past this step.

I've seen the various Youtube videos that talk about using Sidesync, but my experience doesn't mirror what the videos say. I'm using Sidesync v4.7 and I simply don't get the Google Chrome browser popping up on the phone.

I was wondering if anyone can help me with either getting Sidesync to work, or tell me another way to bypass the Google verification>

Many thanks for your help.

Jon

Hey guys well first off i would like to say i own a mogul and i love it but i have seen so many roms and i like alot of them, im looking for a good rom to put on my mogul but problem is...i have no clue how to upgrade and do all the required task to upgrade, what are the risk and how risky are they?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] bakntyme:
The riskiest possible thing for you to do with your phone is to attempt to upgrade the ROM, particularly to an unofficial release, without reading all the threads about upgrading here and on the other PDA forums. You will also see some of the potential problems and the occasional complexity in recovering from them. After doing that reading, you will have no need to post a question like this. Asking others to summarize all of that information for you is a bit much, and puts you at the disadvantage of not being fully informed.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamoid:
In trying to find out why my android tablet has slowed down to a crawl recently I examined the output of adb_logcat. The overwhelming number of entries begin with

D/wpa_supplicant( 1583):

These messages are 10 to one the most frequent in the output. This has not been the case in the past. Have you any idea what might be causing this? Could that be the cause of the slowdown?

My tablet is a legacy device that is no longer supported. But it is an excellent device -- or it was before the slowdown. It is rooted. I am asking the question here because the Venue forum has very low traffic and the answer to my question may be related more to android than to the device.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] mocsharp:
Can't seem to find the option. HTC allows multiple schedules and Samsung has one. The only option I found was Gaming Do Not Disturb.

Any idea?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] tsquare2112:
The slider on the left side of your phone is where OnePlus has put the do not disturb. They have decided to use that instead of the android scheduled DND. I have submitted a customer service response asking to include the scheduled DND, in my opinion, the only thing keeping this from being the perfect phone for me.

TS, sounds like my story. Coming from am HTC 10, and their phones for 8yrs now, was surprised to not find this basic feature.

Of course, their idea is auto Off/On schedule instead. But most people want a vibrate override for some things at night, like alarms in the AM etc. They need to put this feature back.

[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] youtube10:
I wrote an App that lets you control your phone's brightness provided it's running Android 8.0+ and has a compatible fingerprint sensor.

I wrote it because I change my phone's brightness as often as I change it's volume, if not more, and I was upset I didn't have dedicated hardware for it. When Oreo launched and it added fingerprint gesture detection, I figured I'd have a go at it.

The app has been available on Google Play for a month now to Pixel and supported Nexus devices. All things being equal, it should work on the Essential Phone with Oreo installed, but I don't have access to one.

I was wondering if anyone here could help me test it?

Here's a link to the latest APK: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11zxh3LAbBllYrHop2jsgUuhcfooPJpQX/view

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] BennyWhiteHat:
Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 SM-A520F on Marshmellow and plan to keep it on Marshmellow because I'm a dinosaur and want to stay behind alright?

Don't want to risk worse battery life, hate the new lockscreen clock, multitasking isn't a new feature for me, etc.

Basically for me personally this would be a downgrade hands-down.

However, this pesky notification won't stop popping up and I couldn't find any reliable app in the Play Store that actually blocks it 100% of the time. (Tried a few)

My device is not rooted and I would like to avoid rooting it as well, as so far I've been able to keep it that way (9 months!) despite being always jailbroken/rooted ever since my first iPhone 3G back in 2009.

Even my last android phone (Galaxy Alpha) was rooted MERELY for this stupid reason, a software update I don't want to do EVER, for any reason, that won't stop bothering me every other day.

I've looked up and tried most of everything on google, even went as far as the second search results page.

So I either searched wrong, am missing something huge, or I don't know.

If I had the time I would bother myself to create an application that removes these notifications for me somehow, however I am far too busy to do this task on my own in a reasonable amount of time.

Please Save Me.

While not perfect still, this makes it so I won't update by mistake and no one will be able to update for me.

Unsure what is working behind the scenes to try and force that application into working, but now it's broken enough to not be dangerous anymore.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] @ndreX!:
It depends on what Android version you are, but if your build it's after April, you have to sign your boot.img, there is a script that you have to run in TWRP before boot your phone. Also you have to perform a "format" in your phone using TWRP.

I've installed Paranoid on my Pixel, but using Android 7.2.1 from April's release.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] kevev:
Actually I was also restoring sms/mms backup from my old phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] pbarrette:
That can be a pretty heavy utilization of CPU.

I use Titanium Backup's XML backup and restore for SMS/MMS and it's a really compute intensive process.

During backup, all MMS content gets converted to Base64 notation and stored in XML, which takes some computational power.

On restore, the SMS's and MMS's are all deleted, then the XML is parsed and each message is converted from Base64, back to binary and injected as if it was a newly received message with the notifications suppressed. So the restoration actually seems to take more computing resources than the backup.

I'd love to use the native TiBu method, but I'm not rooted, so XML still works (and is more portable), but takes more resources to perform (and can't be scheduled without root).
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] kevev:
Wow! Thanks for the info.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] pbarrette:
I had to dig into TiBu's SMS/MMS backup/restore process several months back.

My previous phone (Droid Mini) crashed due to bad flash memory cells on the data partition, so I had a hell of a time getting my SMS/MMS database off it, then restored to a emulator, then backed up as XML via TiBu, then restored to LOS-13.

In the process, I found some corrupt MMS data that was causing restores to hang, so I had to dig into the XML by hand to find and correct the bad b64 data.
