[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
1)Again, you do not need root to install custom ROMs, only TWRP is required.

1a)Which TWRP have you flashed, is this the 32 bit or 64 bit version? If this is the official TWRP 3.2, I think that may be the 32 bit version. In which case, you'll want Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-5-8-0-t3507275

As you cannot boot properly, the easiest way to flash would be to boot your device to TWRP recovery, then connect your device to your computer. Your device's internal storage should be visible then, you may wish to back up your files at this point. Copy the RR custom ROM zip and the GApps package of your choice to your device and flash in TWRP as per the instructions. As usual with flashing custom ROMs, you will have to wipe /system, /data, cache and Dalvik in TWRP before flashing. Up to you if you choose to wipe internal storage as well (but usually a good idea switching between stock and custom ROMs).

Once you've booted into RR, you should have root as it already comes with magisk.

If you want to flash the RR 6.0 custom ROM, you must have the 64 bit TWRP recovery flashed before you attempt to flash the 6.0 custom ROM or any Oreo custom ROMs at the time of writing.

2)Alternatively, as strongst has suggested, if you simply want your device to be working again, you'll have to flash the latest stock ROM again, since you've likely tripped the anti-rooting measures in the stock kernel.

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

Which soak test, NPJ25.75-2? If so, that's a really old soak test, and as such I would recommend you flash the latest stock ROM available for your device, else you may run into issues with the newest custom ROMs, particularly if you have a G4 Plus. Can you mention what device and what region you're in, so we can guide you to the correct stock ROM to flash?

Yeah, that phone not turning on is because of SuperSU flashed onto the stock Nougat kernel, which you cannot do for our device - you need a custom kernel. The main ways to get around it are as I described above - flash a custom ROM or re-flash the correct stock ROM for your device.

I rooted the device , installed substratum and then installed the navigate substratum theme because the default navigate bar is boring. As it was on legacy , it said the reboot the device but then nav bar wasn't changed . A bug or did I do something wrong ?

im having the same problem and cannot figure out how to fix it. please anyone have a fix
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9kaze9:
hello,

i want something with fast up and download,

rootable for an ad free phone,

good camera

and good battery life

and dual front facing speakers

seems like the htc m9 can achieve all this with

rooting and various mods

how good can this phone become,

and will i need to keep rebuilding it every

week?

and does it have support for newer roms etc,

or will is it already "too old"?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaqman89:
I guess that all depends on what your previous phone is.

My previous phone was Samsung galaxy ace 2, so getting an HTC M9 is definitely a good upgrade. Performance, multitasking and pretty good camera. Mind you that it's not the best in its class but considering where I came from, it's really good.

As of software development, in terms of official support, we might get Oreo (still uncertain), but nougat is on the table.

Since there is no official support anymore most sense based custom rom developers are already hinting that there might not be any more updates. That leaves with aosp/los based custom rom, that sometimes have hiccups, and currently a bit slow in progressing.

Other than that it's quite a decent phone. I'm currently using Viperone 6.2.0 (Nougat) and it satisfies my need quite well.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9kaze9:
current phone is an iphone5s

sick of how slow it's become

6-8 seconds to open the camera app

no more jailbreaking,

at the mercy of ads everywhere

did have an aquos once

hated

it lol

but want to go android again bc of above reasoks,

mostly i hate ads
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaqman89:
Well, if that's the criteria, any rootable phone should do it.

Xposed would enhance it further with minminguard.

Never had any issues with ads on every phone of mine with that config.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9kaze9:
well,

i'd like a snappy camera too,

and battery life.

long pauses after a pic is taken is frustrating

and battery lasting only half a day sucks too

aftermarket waterproof cases are hard to find

for android too...
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9kaze9:
sorry if i'm too vague

how good is the htc camera after being modded/

custom rom?

comparible to iphone?

and does the battery life improve with custom

roms? how long can an htc m9 last with heavy

youtubing?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaqman89:
Well, the camera is decent enough, and fast enough for me. HDR is a bit slow, but most of the time it's good to take good images. Without hdr, it's really fast and not that bad.

I haven't used an iPhone thoroughly before though, so I can't really compare.

See the attached pictures from some of my shots with this phone. This is from sense-based custom roms. Aosp based custom roms is a bit worse, especially in dark conditions.

Battery life is only average on this phone. Most of the time it could last me the day on normal usage.

For exclusively YouTube, it should last 3-4 hours.

See my screenshot of battery usage, around 1 hour it drops 20%, and I was watching YouTube the whole time.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaveShaw:
Hi,

I am working on an app in C#.net (3.5) that has the ability to call numbers from a database. However I am having trouble lauching the Dialer to do what I want.

At the moment I am using the following code to launch the dialer (Staight forward ShellExecute with Params)...

Process cProg = new Process();
cProg.StartInfo.FileName = @"\Windows\CPROG.exe";
cProg.StartInfo.Arguments = String.Format("-url tel:{0}", no);
cProg.Start();

This lauches the "Verify the number is correct" prompt, I would like to call the dialer and dial a specific number.

As many people before me have asked for extra param's to CPROG I assume there aren't any.

What is the best way to achieve what I am after?

I know I can use the TAPI to make a call, but can that launch the dialer, or will that simply make a call using my program (not what I am after).

I'd like to do it in the same way SPB Mobile Shell / HTC Cube favourites does it.

Thanks in Advance for any help you can offer.:)

Dave
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paaaaaaaaaa:
Forget about launching the cprog program. You can do it like this:

You need a reference to Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony;

Then use:

Phone phoneCall = new Phone();

phoneCall.Talk("01234567890");

This method launches straight into the dialler and dials that number.

hi chaps...

apart from c# 2008 and the .net 3.5 framework what else do you need to develop apps on the windows mobile platform.

may sound like a daft question but i have got it working on c# 2005 but it does not want to work in 2008.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaveShaw:
You might need the Windows Mobile 6 SDK.

There are two versions, I recommend the Professional one (Supports more resolutions).

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddie Hicks:
Found an article that mentions the Tab S4 may be announced along with the S9 soon. My Tab S1 is going on 4 years old and still working great but I may be attempted to upgrade. According to the article, they are going back to the original 10.5" size and it will have 64gb of ram. The 16gb of ram on my Tab S1 for me is the only downside. See link. http://bit.ly/2Gpb8Ag
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motfis:
4Gb of ram, 64 Gb internal memory...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddie Hicks:
Ooops, thanks for the correction. That's what I meant.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j1gga84:
Any information if Tab S4 will have an microSD Card Slot?

I guess it will have because everything else would make absolutely no sense.

What will be interesting is that all models will have a snapdragon CPU which means that it will be much more easy to

build custom ROMs :good:

Hopefully the battery will be as big as the battery from Tab S.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
So what aspect ratio will the screen be, the hated 4:3 or the loved 16:10 or even 16:9
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanskimost:
Let's hope it's a ratio starting with 16...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A2Jay:
If you had read the article further, it does say what the screen ratio is:

And that, my friends, amounts to an aspect ratio of 16:10!

I also own the OG Galaxy Tab S in 8.4 inch form. If the S4 comes in this size, I'm gone to to shops yesterday! :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N1NJATH3ORY:
i been waiting for 8.4inch version, but it seems like Samsung is not going to release one.. Tab S 4 is nearly here and no word on 8.4 it's always 9.7 or 10.5 like they are kind of following Apple! That Sucks!!!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akopps:
The problem with the S4 is that it's going to be another six hundred dollar tablet. Can't justify paying so much for a device I use so little. A decent spec Android tablet should be costing around 300USD. But seeing how the new Huawei Mediapad M5 will no longer have headphone port, I guess I'll just give up on the regular Android tablets and just buy an Amazon Fire 10 HD tablet (which is flawed, but at least it's also cheap).
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tensux:
I love the smaller tabs too. I own 4 Samsung tabs and ended up taking a chance on a 8.4 mediapad3. Beautiful 16:10 screen, not much development but realitively easy to root.

Ahh man thanks for the suggestion just checked specs its LCD display i don't like LCD display devices its OLED all the way :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tensux:
thats what i thought too, but you wouldnt believe the screen on it, much clearer and lifelike than my samsung tabs, holding them side by side i have questioned everything i thought about OLED, though i wouldnt trade my LG OLED tv in for anything

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] artttur:
Anybody, any info about Sony's plan, to improve our device camera? As minimum ability to have RAW format, more SS.

Is it possible to unlock/have camera 2api ?

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] Psadim:
No there is no chance for xz1 to be improved. Camera has no ois or eis. Sony doesn't support 2api so you can't have raw or more SS. Maybe xz2 camera will include them.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] chrisftlse:
Yeah...

It is so sad to see a very very good manufacturer not being able to compete the competition with its own tool (hardware components) this only due to lack of development...

Was on HTC (HD2 then Evo3d), came to Sony (first Z version) came back to Sony Z5 and HTC 10 after being so disappointed about camera quality and finally back to Xz1 (bought a XZ to my wife and was pretty convinced about progress) but I have to admit that I am still expecting that HTC revive my 2 years old HTC 10 as I am not at all satisfied about camera picture quality...

Do not get me wrong... The Xz1 is far one of the best phone (specially on Battery, Responsiveness, Security patches,...) but not for pictures.

Except may be the very slow motion but I have read that S9 will have the same... So no more advantages...

[Blu Vivo XL] Rob557:
"Android Tools" stock app ? I keep getting push notifications...

I searched a bunch and couldn't find any info on this...

It has the "android icon".... you can not block notifications

I have the phone for over a year, Marshmallow.

Not rooted, or else I could investigate more about it.

This started about a month or so ago.

First push was for some "Solitare" type game or something.

Now everyday almost 12 hours apart (4am-5am) and then in the afternoon...

OR when I plug the phone in to charge (4am-5am) I get a push notification.

The push is for an app TopBuzz.... ("personalized news just for you..").

If you long press and hold, on the notification... it "changes" and says "Android Tools".

Android Tools Version 3.1.1.311

There is no "block notification" toggle.. only "Enable for important..."

I don't know if something hijacked the "Android Tools" app that displays when you do the long press hold on the push notification of "TopBuzz" app install.

If you do click on the notification... the TopBuzz app installs instantaneously... no download.

I removed it.

In my Google account(s) I have, and had, all and any type of "feed" disabled...

The only "sketchy" thing I have done... is I have on my old Lollipop optimus f3 phone.. a great app for exporting text messages. "Export Messages" by Dan Hintz (on Google Play). I works great.. love it (needed for work)

Now... Google says.. incompatible with all my devices.

I got a copy of it at ApkPure... and put it on my VivoXL.. and it works great.. like on the old phone.

I have been using it for 6months.. so.. I don't think it could be the recent push problem.

I ran Malwarebytes... and nothing shows up bad.

Last night... I installed AppBrain Ad Detector... it caught the push notification for TopBuzz.. didn't stop it..

But it does have a "toggle" to stop notifications from the "Android Tools"... so maybe that will work.

Is this "Android Tools" app a stock app... it looks like it is.

Why, if it is... pushing TopBuzz app notifications.

Thanks group.
[Blu Vivo XL] Rob557:
of course... after I search for a week or so... and finally post a question...

Android Tools app is com.data.acquisition

while Malwarebytes did not flag it as a PUP...

I found something in this post... where there are people talking about something similar in BLU phones...

https://forums.androidcentral.com/ask-question/767820-how-do-you-get-rid-adware.html

half way down the page.. from a Malwarebytes representative is a snippet about an app..

different name but still under the package = com.data.acquisition

author: mbam_mtbr

"indeed a pre-baked system app on some phones manufactured by BLU. It is not unusual for this to happen from time to time on some of these budget devices. The apps in question fire.apk (package name com.data.acquisition) and ....."

So Android Tools looks like it is the same thing...

I am think maybe I can try

adb shell pm hide com.data.acquisition
[Blu Vivo XL] Rob557:
and once again.. after weeks of searching... I don't know why I am finally see more info on this....

adb or debloater doesn't work... you get the same permissions error.

What I did do was in go to the app "Android Tools" (it is a systems app)

and I did the "uninstall updates"...

And it is gone.

BUT the package com.data.acquisition is now, or

actually was

Android Communication Sync

so now I am see more info on the net on Android Communication Sync

from this thread... some interesting observations... for a fellow with a BLU Vivo 5R

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6a705k/blu_vivo_5r_came_preinstalled_with_malware/

"I tapped on the notification and it led me to a APK install screen, asking me to allow unknown sources, and in the background the name of the app trying to be installed was "Android Tools". "

So... since I uninstalled updates for the previous "Android Tools"

it has reverted to Android Communication Sync, with the same package com.data.acquisition ....

We will see what happens.

I don't even remember clicking something trying to install Android Tools.

It would really suck if Android Communication Sync if this is another hijack of our phones like

com.adups.fota and com.adups.fota.sysoper
[Blu Vivo XL] Rob557:
Well it's back late tonight the push notification for TopBuzz....

This reallllly pisses me off..

I put AppBrain Ad Detector in yesterday... hoping maybe I could block it...

But no success.

as mentioned above I had reverted back to the previous update of the app...

It just renames the app Android Communications Sync.

while the obvious problems of you/me not having control over this intrusion is disturbing...

What now with my information is being hijacked....

This is so wrong on so many levels....

I bought the phone from MicroCenter United States, in the store.

Not online.
[Blu Vivo XL] Rob557:
System App

Android Communication Sync Systems App -> package -> com.data.acquisition

pushes Ad notifications (unstoppable)

pushed the app TopBuzz (notification on locked screen)

this had been going on for weeks, twice a day.

At one point Android Communication Sync updated itself and renamed itself "Android Tools"

I uninstalled updates "Android Tools" yesterday

Reverted back to name -> Android Communication Sync Systems

push notifications for TopBuzz app continued.

I let the app install, which was instantaneous, no download seemed to occur.

It seems it was already lucking on my phone.

I wanted to see if I would now start to receive other app push notifications.

From my readings, I feared I would eventually have to do a factory reset anyway.

To attempt to fix this problem... is the reason I took a chance on installing TopBuzz app.

Overnight I left the TopBuzz app on my phone.

This morning Malwarebytes informed me

malware Adware.Yemobi.a was on my phone.

I deleted TopBuzz this morning.

Rescanned with Malwarebytes.

Adware.Yemobi.a was still on my phone.

Deleting malware attempt

Notice: "Disable system app......

Android Coummunication Sync is a system app cannot be uninstalled..... "

Click Disable... goes to the app screen... cannot be Force Stop.

Now I have malware Adware.Yemobi.a unremovable.

As part of System app Android Communication Sync

I guess it is time for a factory reset.... but I fear the process will start all over again

with the System app

Android Communication Sync Systems App -> package -> com.data.acquisition

Same problem here

I'm having the same problem on my BLU One Life X. Bad news is I already did the factory reset and it came back. Started with TopBuzz notifications but since then has had others as well. Everything is same as you described. I'm not a developer though and don't really understand all the background stuff. Just looking for a solution. My wife's BLU phone is also having the same problem. If you find a solution please post! Thank you for the information you've shared so far.
[Blu Vivo XL] nrogers94:
Reporting BLU

I am having the same issues on a BLU Life One X phone.

My issue with these guys has been going on since last summer. They forced an update on my phone and broke most of the functionality. Widgets are broken, most apps do not run, and the memory is 50-70% taken p by the OS/android/UI crap. I have gone through forums, Google support, and BLU support. BLU offered no help or suggestions at all and instead, gave me a price list for new phones. This happened days after my warranty expired.

Now this adware/spyware is infected my phone since Dec 10, 2017. Maybe earlier because I have factory reset my phone a couple times now. I have tried rooting my device but no software I have found can do it. Kingroot, Kingoroot, dr.fone... all failed. The rooting attempts were in response to this adverts/notifocations.

On top of this, my phone randomly has notifications saying "installing ..." and some app I have never heard of, like this pedometer and topbuzz, but once it completes it disappears. I cant find it in my apps, and it never says "Install finished" like regular apps do when they install/update. This is sketchy ****.

I have reported BLU to the anti-fraud center and also to Amazon, where I bought this phone. They have purposefully, and forcefully degraded the performance of my phone then told me to buy a new phone from them, and they are potentially stealing all my data/private information through their sketchy system apps.
