is there any tutorial how to root the Stick 2?
[Fire TV General] Eyedoctor2:
Now that the fire tv 2 on the latest firmware has been rooted, https://xdaforums.com/fir...2-box-t3908387, it would be great if google play store could also be installed. Could you please provide a tutorial to add only this feature? Personally not interested in changing the launcher or the other interesting features in your guide. Congratulations on what you have been able to accomplish. Hopefully Amazon doesn't hire you away from us.
[Fire TV General] SoulInfernoDE:
Thanks for this. Is there a way to install this using Magisk GApps (MagicGApps module) and without Xposed?

..i don't know the correct configuration yet that could work? ..anyone? :)

I have installed it with the gapps-config mentioned but getting black screen after booting. (Guess original launcher cant start?)
[Fire TV General] Pix12:
Yeah, you can just do the Play Store part of it, in fact, the Playing with Fire guide contains a gapps-config that only includes the bare minimum.
[Fire TV General] Eyedoctor2:
I have tried to read through most of that post and also searched through it but I can't find anywhere that details a method of installing the play store only. Can you please point me in the right direction?

I know from other threads that there is a definite demand for this functionality.

Oh, you need to tick the disable signature check option.
[Fire TV General] eelsid:
I disabled signature checking in XINstaller however I'm not able to install either through adb or pm, I get the following error when installing from the adb shell:

# pm install /sdcard/PlayTVMod4FTVS2.apk

pkg: /sdcard/PlayTVMod4FTVS2.apk

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]

I already have com.android.vending installed in /system/priv-app/PhoneskyKamikazeCanvas as installed by open Gapps (the version linked in the "playing with fire" thread. I would expect the apk to simply update the system app however it's seeing it as a duplicate. I am able to install it via "pm install -r" to replace it but this breaks play store altogether with a host of permissions errors in logcat.

Using only the gapps version installed in priv-app, with no apk installed under /data/app, I am able to sign into play store and install an app, however after that point I am not able to install any more apps, when I click install I get error code 406.
[Fire TV General] Pix12:
XInstaller only works with installing on the system without adb or shell commands, Try pushing it to the sdcard and installing it with a file explorer.

Backup image

Hello [MENTION=7153704]Pix12[/MENTION] thank you for your guide, i have tried everything to get this to work but cant, would it be possible for you to make a backup of your fully set up stick in twrp, put it in a zip and upload it to mega for me to install to my stick? ( I know this method works as i have tested it to clone a stick you just have to change the serial number to yours on the backup folder before restoring in twrp ) it would be a great help if you could! Thanks in advance [MENTION=7153704]Pix12[/MENTION]
[Fire TV General] fax88:
Can you please upload the version of the opengapps you are using. All versions older than a couple months are not on their git anymore. Using the gapps-config.txt. I'm not able to install with the "tvlauncher" flag, It only installs the launcher when I add "leanbacklauncher" thus it creates the "leanbacklauncher" folder in /system/priv-app/. vs "TVlauncher" This is the reason why I'm wondering if the opengapps versions have changed. When I followed your instructions this the TVsettings disappeared alltogether from the home screen.

[Fire TV General] shlokpatel:
[MENTION=7153704]Pix12[/MENTION] Managed to get google play store working with leanback launcher working too. Only issues remaining are:

1. Settings app only partly works - the about, settings and wifi icons show up and the about and wifi settings work but getting into the main settings doesnt work. It just puts me back to the launcher

2. The recommendations mostly show nothing even though I have apps that do sometimes show stuff
[Fire TV General] xxspokiixx:
How did you archived that?, because after follow the steps from this tutorial I'm not able to see the settings neither apps.
[Fire TV General] shlokpatel:
I followed the steps in this post - https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/general/total-mod-playing-fire-complete-t3629990/post76106603

Things i changed:

1. I used this busybox (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en) instead of the one provided

2. Make sure to delete wifi direct xml from the package as mentioned by OP

3. For firestick 2, use arm packages for xposed and gapps instead of arm64

[Xposed Framework Modules] Exetreezz:
Hi!

I am using GravityBox with Xposed installed on my "Vernee Apollo" phone (the 2K version not the "Lite" version) which runs Android 6.0. The phone has full root.

Using GravityBox with Android 6.0 you have to realize that I don't know what exact and complete functions have GravityBox on its upper versions for later android versions, so I have to ask for developers for a few upgrades for the "Lockscreen Tweaks" section if I may, based on "GravityBox [MM]" only, please! Thank you for your understanding!

To get to the point here, below are the functions/settings I would like to see for the next releases of GravityBox:

1. Add More shortcuts than the 7 standard ones. Maybe we need to have 8, 10, 15 shortcuts on the lockscreen window, displayed on 2-3 rows. I am referring to these particular standard icons and

not

the "Pie controls" and/or "Application launcher" (I am not using these two sections/functions at all).

2. Add an option to make these 7 icons for these 7 shortcuts to be visible or unvisible/hidden on the lockscreen window. What I mean is the icons to become visible

only

when a notification arrives and after I see that linked notification, that (those) icon(s) to become hidden again. In this way we would have a clear lockscreen, only with the clock and/or date.

3. Upgrade the standard (stock) icons for the added 7 icons on the lockscreen (those stock white ones) , with updated icons! For instance, the icon for "Messenger" (from Facebook) app is not present in the stock white icons list and I have to use the "Hangouts" (Google) icon for it. You might consider to add (update the stock white integrated list icons) with more relevant icons for representative world wide known applications (like "Messenger" and so on).

4. Add the posibility to move

down

this 7 standard/stock white icons row on the lockscreen window, anywhere we want on the screen, between hour/date and unlock key icon from the bottom. In this way we can organize the lockscreen visual appearence as we please.

5. Add a function to add a PIN code for locking the screen directly from GravitBox (maybe a home screen shortcut for this function too) and not to use android stock security settings for that.

Thank you for your time and I hope you will add these functions/settings soon!

Have a wonderful life! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ivanivanovvv:
After installing ES File Explorer i noticed that every ~15-30 minutes there is been taken an automatic screenshot regardlessly of the state of the screen. It is taken of the Lockscreen or the 'descktop/main screen' when unlocked.

So i removed the sd card,and flashed different ROM official(the device is not rooted) with CSC_XXX( not Home_CSC).

Did Wipe data/factory reset and cache partition before and after the flash.

Other thing is that Sync (up in the notification bar)is keeping turning on and on again and again on a freshly installed ROM with no other apps installed.All possible updates are off.

The file is located in

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.sec.android.app.launcher/cache/homescreenPreview.png
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dans.tech:
Hi, I'm also noticing the same thing on my S8 and A5, I can't find anything anywhere else about these recurring screenshots, and whether they're triggered by legit or malicious means.

Any information on this is very much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] SirSoviet:
Uninstall ES File Explorer. The company making the app was acquired by Cheetah Mobile a while ago, which is a Chinese company that made malicious apps such as Clean Master, which supposedly cleans junk files on your device, but riddles your lock screen with ads and sends just about anything they can from your device to Chinese servers by abusing permissions.

I just looked up ES File Explorer, and it's actually been taken down from the Play Store, at least in Canada. That should be a good enough reason to uninstall it. I currently use Solid Explorer File Manager, but there's many other alternatives such as MiXplorer.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
Yea es file explorer is a junk spyware filled app. It's as close to a virus as there is. Plain and said I bet this is 99% of your troubles
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Droehnemeier:
Beware of the dragon!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] techlawguy:
homescreen images are generated by the Android OS

com.sec.android.app.launcher is the directory used by Samsung's touchwhiz UI.

homescreenPreview.png is a screenshot of the homescreen which is automatically captured by Android (the lockscreen is also automatically captured).

Also, although ES File Explorer was removed from Google Play this was (apparently) due to (claims) about ad-click fraud. Although I avoid companies who do bad things, earlier versions of ES File Explorer are available which seem to work fine (for us).
[Magisk] Ps24u:
Hey all, I use SELinuxModeChanger apk to set Permissive mode when my device (Xperia Z5Compact) starts.

I would like to use a Magisk module to do it instead. What is the best module (simple, light on resources) to do so?

I just need the device to start in Permissive mode and that's pretty much it.

I notice all the modules that do this were removed from Magisk repo.. why is that, stability issues?

Thanks.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Because it just takes a very simple boot script, something that a Magisk module is a bit of overkill for. To keep the Magisk repo somewhat uncluttered (it's still quite messy), the decision was made to remove all modules that were just too simple.

Why do you want to change to a Magisk module? It'll do the exact same thing as your app... If you really want to skip the app, just put the following inside a file (you can name it whatever, say "selinux", doesn't even need an extension), place it in /data/adb/service.d, give it execution permission and that's it:

#!/system/bin/sh
setenforce 0

That'll change to permissive at each boot. You could do the same with an app like Tasker, etc...
[Magisk] Ps24u:
Very helpful if I need to do it manually, thank you very much!

I just found this module : https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/selinux-mode-inverter-t3775271

which I think will do the trick nicely (I like to be able to enable or disable the feature easily from within Magisk).

I've read a ton of threads on the problem of TWRP failing flash, but no help. Maybe I've missed something??

Enter FB mode on the phone and then on PC I Issue "fastboot flash twrp.img", the DOS window reports everything OK; I pull the battery but in no way can I get into TWRP it just boots regularly no matter what buttons I hold down in any sequence.

studied the thread attached intently, but no help. My phone is a US996 (unbranded) and I unlocked it (successfully) via LG's procedure.

Ideas, anyone??

[Nokia 9 PureView Questions & Answers] TheNVisMe:
Can somebody explain the difference between taking a picture in the standard "Photo" or "Pro" mode with Depth turned on vs. taking a picture in Bokeh mode? Is there and advantage of one over the other. Also, does capturing Depth have any effect for editing the RAW files in Lightroom? The camera processes pictures much faster with Depth turned OFF. So what I'd like to know is if there is any point in capturing Depth for regular everyday pictures (scenery, random family pics, etc.) in Photo or Pro mode vs. using Bokeh mode when I want that background blur effect.
[Nokia 9 PureView Questions & Answers] acropolis88:
I am rather confused by this too. According to the manual Bokeh is if you know you will want to change the focus area after taking the shot and Depth mode is for creating "a sense of depth and perspective". I suspect the depth images contain a lot more information than the Bokeh ones so will give you the potential for more impressive results. I just took test images in both modes of the same scene and actually the Bokeh image was the larger file (11MB versus 6.9MB), but I believe the depth mode data may be heavily compressed.
[Nokia 9 PureView Questions & Answers] glazenwassertjuh:
I have this phone and i am verry happy with this phone.i buy the phone on 15 march

But when i start the phone the first time there was a update.after the update i start the camera but i bever Find the bokeh modus on the camera app.is this function gone after the update ? Sorry my englisch is ferry bad .
[Nokia 9 PureView Questions & Answers] acropolis88:
Hi, you have to go into the camera app and select Bokeh mode from the list of modes about a quarter of the way up from the bottom (left to Pro). Depth mode is different and is activated from within the camera in Pro mode from the options at the top. Its the item to the right of the "hamburger". Hope that helps!
[Nokia 9 PureView Questions & Answers] glazenwassertjuh:
Thank you ferry much.

I have camera app 91.9.1160.53

And i still cant find bokeh .

I found a newer version of the app and try to install it.

IT was version 91.9.1170.61

When i open the app i can see bokeh.

Butt the app crashes when i choose bokeh.

I removed the update.

Do you Nokia 9 users have the same camera app version ?

Greetings
[Nokia 9 PureView Questions & Answers] stefanve:
look at the camera settings and select mode management. Maybe it is switched off there?

I have the same version as you and I see it
[Nokia 9 PureView Questions & Answers] Don MC:
If the camera app crashes, you should charge the battery. It's a known bug.
[Nokia 9 PureView Questions & Answers] glazenwassertjuh:
Oke thanks ,gonna try IT out

This is how mode management looks like

https://ibb.co/HrZcwph
[Nokia 9 PureView Questions & Answers] nurps:
The difference is that Bokeh Mode puts the fake bokeh into the RAW file and you cant undo it anymore, right?
[Nokia 9 PureView Questions & Answers] Harfainx:
The biggest difference is... Don't use Bokeh, just enable Depth and set your focus manually. Bokeh is basically just a quick point-and-shoot version that tries to identify the target. Manual depth editing allows full control over it after the picture is taken. Just use the Depth editing.
[Nokia 9 PureView Questions & Answers] chaosdark:
This , just use Depth, works much better.

Bokeh mode on Nokia 9 is horrendous most of the time, it blurs some parts and leaves other parts unblurred (seems like the help Google provided did NOT include machine learning blurring lol).
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] gfrancis0:
I just went through and created some new contact records for some of my relative's kids who were formerly just listed as another cell phone under their parent's contact record in GMail contacts. I actually did this because in my AT&T SMS messages the custom labels I had given those phone numbers simply showed up as "Custom" in the texting interface, not the name I have listed for that number (BUG #1).

Probably created about 10 new contacts in the process. Several times I would make a few edits to a contact record and on the way out would get some kind of brief vague popup error message like "Contact info not saved" or something like that and the edits would be lost. If I went back in and made the edits one at a time and saved that worked almost every time, but sometimes that even failed. (BUG #2)

I wanted to post to make them aware so they can patch these down the road.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] vonDubenshire:
You need to have a Samsung account that syncs to the Google account contacts.

There is some kind of issue right now - I had no problem for the past two years but their Contacts are not syncing as perfectly as before and it's driving me insane. I just made a topic on it in the Galaxy S10 forum if you want to follow that and see if anyone has an idea.
