[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJarkIV:
Here ya go, https://www.google.com/amp/s/androidtv.news/2016/08/dual-boot-android-android-tv/amp/

On that page is the basic concept, a link to a video of it being done and a link to the instructions. It's not the easiest thing to do but you will ultimately be using Flashify to switch the kernel at will which upon reboot will select the partition that boots up. I personally have not done this yet but I know it's been confirmed working and plan on trying it myself down the line. I just updated to 6.3 so i will have to wait for the factory images to be released before attempting it. Best of luck.

Thank you for the info.. .I have had my shield since Jan 2nd and it is still residing in the box unopened . :confused:

I am still unsure which way to go , So this is a process I will keep in mind and bookmark for future reference when a eventually find the time to setup.

Thanks again for your time and help.

Best Regards,

I can tell you right now that Android TV ROM is the way to go as the daily driver. The stock ROM is great for all your entertainment needs, stable and easily controlled with the remote. Full Android ROM is fun to toy with or secondary boot to if you don't mind using a keyboard/mouse to control it. It's obviously not meant for TV's. My only gripe about Android TV is the lack of apps supported or made compatible for it so the play store is limited. But if you root you can run Titanium backup, install BusyBox if needed (etc). Chrome browser also works (you'll have to get outside of play store but once installed it will update via play store), various file explorers and Aptoid for all the apps you can't find on play store. Basically, where there is a will there is a way. Have fun.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunydub:
Yes I agree, there is no need to try custom roms, despite that I like to play with such things.

I am in the Nvidia Beta programme so that is good reason to stay on official release too.

I have a problem that Chrome does not update from the Play store for me. it gets stuck on continuously downloading so I had to disable auto-update as it blocks all my apps from updating.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex0826:
Aptoide should update your apps without a hitch. I use it most of the time with my 16gig Shield TV, and another really good one is ACMARKET! They have a modded app section, unlocked apps, no ads, or unlim gold, money, fuel in games etc.

I came here while researching if the Shield TV supports UASP? Can anyone confirm Y/N? I don't think it would make a difference with the Shield TV anyway. The external USB 3.0 case supports it and the SSD is fast enough. Thanks in advance =)

Check out TeaTV and FreeFlix HQ, they are great! ACMARKET has ad free versions too. I use a lightly used ($300 pawnshop bought) Epson EX-9200 Pro wireless in the bedroom with the Shield TV. 120" image on the wall with three coats of a HomeDepot gray, matallic PPG paint. Older $15 GoodWill Yamaha RX-V665 receiver under the bed with a Walmart $5 (clearance section) blue tooth adapter lol. $5 GoodWill Insignia NS-HT51 10" powered sub and cheap common Sony 10" powerswered Sub also from GW for $10 under the bed. 5 RCA surround speakers (not my favorite brand, but does the trick) from GW for $9. Cheap mismatched audio BUT kicks and is loud when nessary =) IF I had a hefty income, I would probably have BOSE everywhere or similar high end. For what I paid for everything though, it sure beats a 55 or 65" TV in the bdrm... I will be striping the paint form the area the projector hits and redoing it with an electric handheld spreyer and even better metallic paint in the future to remove the roller hotspots, picture frame it and add inexpensive wireless remote LED moodlighting strips behind the framing trim. Sorry I got carried away, I enjoy sharing good ideas...

Has anyone done read and write speed tests in MB/s?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CEG3rd:
I am a new Shield user and discovered adding an external drive as internal means the internal storage is no longer used. Do you know that an external SSD over USB 3.0 is as fast as the internal memory? I have the 16 GB Shield and I have a spare SSD that is not a super fast one, but of course most any SSD is faster than a spin drive.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunydub:
Yeah, I don't have a spare ssd though and it's a bit overkill for me.

My emulators work just fine from the normal HD.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Schroeder09:
I am rooted on a pixel 2 XL with magisk v14 and manager 5.4.3. I have twrp 3.1.1 beta 2. I have changed the calling preference on the phone to wifi with an ADB command. Aside from that no other mods come to mind.

I have multiple functioning apps on my phone and am loving root. However, Facebook, Tumblr, Microsoft word, and Microsoft Excel give me messages saying they can't connect to the internet when I open them. This renders Facebook and Tumblr useless. The office programs can work locally. I tried hiding root from Facebook in magisk to no avail. What's going on with these apps? Do I need to change something on my phone or in it's system? Could any particular root apps like adaway be causing this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Schroeder09:
Ok, so I was at least smart enough to be able to determine that adaway is not allowing every single one of the apps I mentioned to connect to the internet.

What's the solution here? Is adaway obsolete in 2017? Is the answer to just go download and buy adguard from the playstore?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Pkt_Lnt:
Adaway is definitely not obsolete. It was removed from the Play Store and will never come back there. There is a thread here on XDA with updates, lots of good help, (and the same questions asked over and over). :good:

Adaway blocks urls / websites but not apps, so you have something else going on. Here is the tutorial to find blocked sites that need to be whitelisted, You can try it.

This was tremendously helpful. It did exactly what I wanted. Thank u. Hopefully others see this and it helps them too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MinimalistChris:
Hi, my setup is similar to yours (rooted, etc) and I've got Google Docs and Sheets thinking they're not connected to WiFi or data. How were you able to resolve your data issue?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Schroeder09:
I haven't focused on getting those working yet, but it seems that the word is working. Excel still gives me the connection error. Adaway was the culprit for facebook. I suspect it is for the microsoft office apps too. I just have to addressed them because I will not be using them heavily. If you have an adblocking app please follow the instructions in the link that Pkt_lnt posted. They're very straightforward and helpful. You need to basically turn ad-blocking off, put it in a "scanning mode", use the app you want to for a few minutes so the adblocking app sees it, then the adblocking app will pick up on host file sites that the app uses. You can add these to a "white list." The adblocking will no longer block the app. It's important to note that if other apps use the same host file that you have just whitelisted ads will appear in that app too. White listing a host file is universal and is not done on an in-app basis.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mean_liar:
My stock camera doesn't record sound, and when making Hangouts Dialer calls I don't hear anything nor does any mic work (plugged-in headset or chin mic). Google Now doesn't hear me, and I can't train the Google Assistant (it never hears "okay Google").

Meanwhile, regular calls (and Google Voice) work fine. I'm now using Open Camera to shoot video, and that app has full functionality. I have a 3rd party voice recorder app that works fine as well.

I did come up with a workaround, in that when I hooked up a USB OTG hub to the phone then plugged in a USB headset through the hub, Hangouts Dialer had full sound/mic capability; I didn't test anything else yet.

So I'm thinking this is some kind of oddball firmware issue. I saw that there was some tinkering that could be done with /system/etc/mixer_paths_tasha.xml (per thread at https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/how-to/fix-mic-speaker-mode-call-t3565646 ), but I don't really know what I'm looking at in there and so while I'm willing to tinker I don't know what to do.

Any ideas?

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
I've been having issues with bad idle drain on my XZ1 compact, which I think is related to kernel wakelocks. I want to reflash my firmware without wiping my data in case I somehow got a bad file that messed up my kernel. After redownloading the US and UK firmwares from Xperifirm, is this what I need to do?

1) Copy US OEM file to UK firmware folder

2) Delete the userdata flash all file

3) Flash with Newflasher

Please let me know if I missed any steps. Thanks!

Edit: Do I have to delete all of these files or just userdata in order to keep all of my data/settings?

appslog_X-FLASH-ALL-C93B.sin

diag_X-FLASH-ALL-C93B.sin

ssd_X-FLASH-ALL-C93B.sin

Qnovo_X-FLASH-ALL-C93B.sin

userdata_X-FLASH-ALL-C93B.sin
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
If you have issues with wakelocks and want to reflash, why keep the data? If it is a rougue app, you'll just be keeping the same setup and application problems as before.

Yes, you are right, you can delete userdata_X-FLASH and it will retain the data. I don't know what the other files do, so I wouldn't delete those.

I had mystreious battery drain for a while. I tracked it down to the Sony 'Contacts' app. It was starting Google Pay Services and contiunuallly pushing for updates.

After deleting it, the battery drain went away.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
Because I've already done 2 software repairs (each followed by a reflash of the modded firmware with Newflasher) and I'm pretty sure it's not a rogue app. Been doing a lot of bug reports with Battery Historian and most of the wakeups are coming from the kernel.

I can't find any evidence that the contacts app is acting up for me, but I would have no problem deleting it and replacing it. What do you use as a replacement? Edit: And do you know the package name for the Contacts app?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
If you enable development options, look in there to see what is running on the phone under running services.

I use Google contacts which comes with phone.

the problem app name is

com.sonymobile.android.contacts

this was pushing Google Play Services to continually search for sync.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
Got it. Android OS is using the vast majority of my RAM compared to all other apps (1.2 GB of 3.5 used). Not sure if that's normal, but given that contacts doesn't show up on that list, I don't think I need to mess with it. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TheGPR12:
Ok with the new update with "better" touch sensitivity along the edges of the screen is ruining my experience with the Pixel 2 XL. I have hundred of random accidental touches while just holding the edge of the phone like a normal person would. It's getting ridiculous.

Prior to the update, everything was excellent.

Is there any way to revert back without going back to 8.0?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] sublimejhn:
Hopefully someone can help me out here. I have been trying to root my phone, and everything goes fine but for some odd reason as soon as I relock the bootloader the phone wont boot anymore, I just get stuck at the boot screen indefinitely and have to revert to stock. I went through this process several times with the same issue, and unfortunately I got frustrated and started messing around. Not thinking I went into developer options and uncheck "allow OEM unlock," and forgot about it and rebooted. Now I can't get the phone to boot, but I can't flash unlock either. It will not boot into TWRP for some unknown reason as well, so at this point I don't see how I am going to fix this.

Even better, I just got the phone today...

Help!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
Do not try to lock the BL if you are not completely stock.

If you have TWRP or anything like Magisk installed do not lock the BL.

If something goes wrong, you have a brick.

only lock the BL if you are completely stock.

Why would you relock bootloader? Not a good idea especially after modifying software
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] sublimejhn:
Man, I could have sworn it was not recommended to leave the bootloader unlocked. Not exactly the answer I wanted to hear unfortunately. Any idea why it won't boot just because I relocked the bootloader? It just seems like an odd thing to cause a boot loop, and it did it 3 separate times

Can you go to bootloader?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] sublimejhn:
I can get into fastboot
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] TJSteveMX:
If your PC can recognize adb fastboot then just get the stock zip file from "back to stock" section here

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3701681

I messed up too and back to stock was my only way.

Make sure under bootloader, if you type fastboot devices and is waiting for device, use

fastboot devices -i 0x2e17

If the PC recognize your device then, you can save from your bootloop
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] sublimejhn:
I would do this, but I had unchecked "allow OEM unlock" when I booted up earlier. I cannot unlock the bootloader now from fastboot, and I can't flash back to stock because my bootloader is locked. I am pretty sure I am screwed at this point

try reinstalling TWRP and flash LOS again, I think once you flash a different software the OEM UNLOCKING switch are not highlighted anymore(what I mean is you can't turn it off), if you can do fastboot, try doing fastboot -w and wait till it reboots.

Check any forum of a phone with an unlockable bootloader. You never ever relock the bootloader unless you are 100% completely stock. Once relocked with modified software there is nothing you can do to get it to boot.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ParrotHead:
I updated my Tilt's ROM to the latest version, doing the reset trick to skip installing the AT&T bloatware just as I had done with the previous ROM version.

All seems well, except that my "OK" button no longer works like it used to. When I press it now, it minimizes/hides some applications instead of closing them out. Previously, it closed them (like tapping the "X" does). Is there a way to fix this without installing the AT&T software?

What's interesting is that it works correctly with some apps, but not with others. For example, if I have the camera or phone dialer up, pressing the OK button completely closes them. But if I have Pocket IE up, pressing OK only minimizes/hides it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pizzaguy:
go into task manager. goto options, then make sure "press and hold X to close" is not selected. if it is, select the other one and it should work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ParrotHead:
Thanks for the tip. I just checked, and "End programs by tapping 'X'" is selected (not "End programs by tapping and holding 'X'").

So theoretically, things should be working--but they're not. In addition to PIE not closing using the OK button, I just noticed that File Explorer doesn't, either.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Audio:
I suppose you could try using Quickmenu (attached), this also has options regarding the "X to close" command. Give it a try if you want, I personally can't live without it :)
