[LG G Watch R] spark001uk:
I really didn't know where to pitch this issue, but here's the problem:

Google fit has been working nicely for a long time on my GWR, but recently I installed a health app on the phone, and it required GF to be installed on the phone to pull the steps etc off it. However as soon as I installed it on the phone, fit on the watch stopped syncing to the GF server. It just refused, for days. I checked the web app, nothing there either. I uninstalled both, reinstalled, changed settings, tried everything really. Not just that - but when I turned on the body sensors option in the phone app, it just started using the phone's sensors, which is no good., I wanted it to read the watch's data. It just wouldn't have it.

Eventually I got the watch syncing again, but with a lot of messing about, and the phone app not installed.

Has anyone else got the same problems, or can shed any light of this perhaps? A quick scan online shows quite a few have had these sync issues over the last few years.

EDIT: Just looked at the history on both the watch and the web view, and the steps for most days completely differs between the two. That is if the watch app can be bothered to sync at all, sometimes patches of empty entries on the web view will eventually appear with data, sometimes several days later. Yet still be mismatched.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansmeyer:
I rootet my Pad 8.3 with Stump and installed SuperSu. After that I flashed TWRP "twrp-3.2.1-0-vk810.img", but no chance to Install "lineage-14.1-20171228_233442-UNOFFICIAL-vk810.zip", errors in zip-File was the message. In the past, I had tried on another mobile an earlier version of TWRP after problems with newest version an so I could flash the ROM. So I flashed "twrp-3.1.1-0-v500.img". Actual status is, there is no OS on the mobile and no storage is mounted, neither Internal nor SD-Card and USB OTG, 0MB Storage is listed. I tried several hints to format the storage, still 0MB. So I can´t flash another ROM. Connection with adb is sometimes succesful, adv devices gives an output, but all other commands are rejected with error. Device is not permanent listed in Devicemanager, sometimes the device changes to unknown or device with error during driverinstallation. Switching to Download Mode is possible, but no connection with LG-Flash-Tool.

Can anybody help me?

I have unlocked the Bootloader & installed TWRP recovery on my Moto G5 Plus (Indian Varient) (Note: Not Rooted nor installed any custom ROMs just unlocked the Bootloader). Now I want to remove the TWRP recovery & install the stock recovery back on the phone. I have tried to do it by downloading the official ROM (Which contains stock recovery image i.e. recovery.img) & then applying the adb commands i.e. "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" but remote error is shown (FAILED (remote failure)). What should I can do now? Any suggestions or Steps will be a great help.

I tried to update stock phone via Firmware Finder from B170 to B360. Downloaded fine and asked for restart. Phone said it was updating but froze at 5% and restarted by itself and bootlooping.

Holding Vol+ and power on leads to "EMUI installing update..." screen, then "Software install failed!" with only option to

Reboot system now

Rebooting takes phone to Huawei eRecovery with options

Download latest version and recovery

Reboot

Shutdown

Download and recovery ends with "Getting package info from server" which eventually fails

I can enter Fastboot & Rescue Mode, but phone is LOCKED (in green text) so cannot flash

Also, the phone is not being recognized by HiSuite latest version (8.0.1.302), and not supported by HiSuite System Recovery!

I've been reading through these forums and Googling but nothing is helping! :crying: Phone is out of warranty as it's a hand-me-down. Are paid options like DC unlocker the only way?

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] zaabolla:
i don't know what are you doing like that

flashing official rom is with original recovery not with TWRP recovery

with TWRP you can flash only custom roms like lineage, or restore backup rom

Anyway, the restore worked fine when put on microSD card. Reboot failed stating an error in Chinese text (don't know what it says), and keeps rebooting into TWRP.

System not booting anyway so flashed LineageOS.zip but during the process, log showed "failed to mount /product (invalid argument)". Reboot phone and it's stuck on Lineage OS boot animation for over 30 minutes

hey everybody!

running taimen 8.1 rooted stock with the greenify magisk module and (ofc) the app from the playstore. whenever enabling aggressive doze in greenify settings, it gets reset to "off" after a reboot.

anyone knows why?

thanks!
[Greenify] hyborian:
I have been searching for hours if there is an answer for that, no luck so far.

My Xiaomi phones have most apps that came with it as unoptimized, and when you optimize them, they get reset after a boot. Same with user apps that we install, I unoptimize important apps like Whatsapp, but after a reboot, it gets reset to optimized.

My Asus phone is the opposite, all apps including Google services are Optimized, and for my user apps as well as system apps that I set, they don't get reset after reboot.

No problem to set it all over again, IF I rarely reboot. Unfortunately, Xiaomi gives me weekly developer rom updates, and I have 4 Xiaomis to update. I also like to backup using TWRP, saved me countless times when I accidentally screw up the phone (and Titanium Backup to restore more recent updates backed up).

I can systemize the app in question and it will stick, but I've a phobia now for systemizing apps.

Does anyone knows where the system stores the information we set for Battery Optimization ? i.e. which file, directory ...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] cj chitwood:
It means, quite simply, that the attempt to write to the MMC failed, for whatever reason. In some cases, that reason would be MMC failure like I had on My N910T a couple of months ago. While flashing bootloaders and such to the replacement motherboard I just installed a few days ago, I got this same error a couple of times, but it was because the command was wrong or the bootloader was locked or what-have-you.

If it's because the MMC is beginning to fail, you'll likely have other issues as well, like I was having with random lockups, reboots, apps acting all funky at random, and most notably, inability to write to the internal storage such as with the camera app. Once these started happening all the time, I decided it was time to "factory" reset, and even that failed, then ODIN mode failed.... I knew it was time and started shopping for replacement phones, then seeing pricing, replacement motherboards.

My replacement is a brand spanking new N910T3 motherboard. Things write fine, but I still got that error a couple of times because I was doing something wrong, or out of order, or without previously unchecking FRP or whatever it was. But the MMC is fine.

If anyone wants to develop the program further, I have made it publicly available here.

https://github.com/rainman74/FireTV-Settings/releases

I hereby discontinue support for my Fire TV Guides and Apps. I've been a big fan of Fire TV devices for the last 2-3 years, but Amazon has now with each firmware further limited the possibilities of a configurable Android environment and even destroyed standard Android commands. This goes too far for me now.

I can recommend the following devices to anyone who wants to have a reasonable and much better Android TV experience, which I now use myself and am enthusiastic about:

Mi Box

Mi Box S

Sony Android TV (ATV3 platform, eg. XF7, XF8, XF9 or higher)

Are there any activities missing that could still be included in the conFIREator?

Ideas? :)
[Fire TV Android Development] droidpaine:
[MENTION=7632282]rainman74[/MENTION]

can you add this function:

-Restart Device

-ADB Debugging

-USB Debugging

-Apps from Unknown Sources

-Network Info (to look ip address from device)

-System Info (to look Software version from device)
[Fire TV Android Development] rainman74:
Thanks for the ideas. But this is not only possible with activities, you need a modified settings app for these commands (except for restarting, you need root privileges for this, or a corresponding authorized app).

Okay, let's see:

Restart Device -> Simple Reboot

turn on ADB/USB -> you have to install modified settings app from PlayFire as system app

Network Info (to look ip address from device) -> you have to install modified settings app from PlayFire as system app

System Info (to look Software version from device) -> you have to install modified settings app from PlayFire as system app

turn on unknown sources -> you have to install modified settings app from PlayFire as system app
[Fire TV Android Development] droidpaine:
ok thanks for the explanation

restart with the app works :)
[Fire TV Android Development] BRICK0044:
Is there a tutorial on how to install an app as a system app? Or can you point me in the right direction.
[Fire TV Android Development] rainman74:
For this you need root rights!

First you have to download the modified Android TV Settings app from PlayFire:

View attachment 4475903

Then copy the app into the system app folder and MUST restart your Fire TV to install it automatically.

adb push C:\TvSettings.apk /sdcard/
adb shell su -c mount -o remount,rw /system
adb shell su -c mkdir /system/priv-app/TvSettings
adb shell su -c chmod 755 /system/priv-app/TvSettings
adb shell su -c cp /sdcard/TvSettings.apk /system/priv-app/TvSettings/TvSettings.apk
adb shell su -c chmod 644 /system/priv-app/TvSettings/TvSettings.apk
adb shell su -c chown root:root /system/priv-app/TvSettings/TvSettings.apk
adb shell su -c mount -o remount,ro /system

If you use XInstaller, other basic Amazon activities can be called up (which are normally only possible with the Amazon TV Launcher) and I will include them in an upcoming version of conFIREator, e.g. screen and sound settings, sdcard menu, Fire TV info, etc.

This allows you to access all Amazon settings even if Amazon Launcher is disabled.

Worked fine for me. Make sure you change the permissions properly. I used solid explorer.

The screen before the boot animation that shows the small unlocked icon is still white, but the animation now has a black background.

I found bootanimation.zip in the system_root folder, then Media. (instead of just the system folder). Then made sure permissions were 644

So you replaced the zip file in both folders? I was told only to replace the one in the media folder. And every time I did, it was like the new zip file couldn't overwrite the old one. Maybe I'll try solid explorer this time.

Replacing both zip files with solid explorer worked! Thanks

Was using practically fully charged tablet one minute, went to use again and screen black.

Back and task switch buttons still light up when press power or home. Plus volume up/down makes the louder/quieter beeps.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necxelos:
Hello everyone.

I'm a more-or-less experienced desktop developer (currently PHD student - mainly I develop desktop apps for social sciences research) and sadly an absolute amateur in Android development. To the topic though:

- I need a safe and amateur friendly way to root my Tablet: Huawei Mediapad M3 LTE version, 32GB, currently with Android 6 (for some reason Huawei says Android 7 should already be there yet it ain't available for me). What I need this root for is just one thing: Linux Deploy. I need to be able to work on-the-go and having access to my linux apps is gravely required to do so (mainly Atom for general coding, R for statistics, Pycharm + IntelliJ or Eclipse for my actual development job and several others as I currently started learning JS too).

- I do NOT need to flash custom ROM's (I'm fine with my Android 6 as it is). I only need Linux Deploy and being able to grant some apps SU privilege.

Reading around those forums I found several "solutions" to root my device but as it is my first rodeo I'm still kinda scared of loosing my fresh acquisition to my own incompetence. What I found are:

- KingRoot/KingoRoot - both seem to be heavily accused of stealing personal data, and as I move around with research data of my own and from other scientists it seems like a no-go for me.

- Multi-stage Bootload, TWRP, SRK rooting which scares the hell out of me at how complicated and error-friendly it is.

https://xdaforums.com/mediapad-m3/how-to/root-success-t3489547

- Some flashing tools from here, which mostly are directed at flashing ROMS.

https://www.xda-developers.com/root/

- And awesome CF-Auto-Root that looked like a perfect thing just made for me, until I realized it's for Samsung devices only.

Getting to my question/request now: Can someone either confirm rooting EXACTLY my model of a tablet in a certain way or just guide me through the process in less erratic way than this topic:

https://xdaforums.com/mediapad-m3/how-to/root-success-t3489547

...which is linking to several other topics which in turns are linking to several other pages, which in the end is about as clear/understandable as a muddy river and as well organized as my life lately (hint: it's NOT organized).

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to step up and help
