Slow tethering (T-mobile) In NEED of an alternative tethering app

My speeds are horribly slow on my 6p. I had a 5x and the speeds were blazing, moved my sim to my honor 5x, still fast and then I get my 6p and the speeds are so slow. Like clicking google links and taking minutes slow. I'm in need of a third-party app solution or a fix for this if anyone else has had this problem

need alternative to get adaptive storage.

Is there another way to gain adaptive storage without having to root or adb?

Is there an alternative way to activate Mini View

Is there another way of activating the miniview feature in kitkat.
Other than swiping the navigation buttons because i have
hidden the navbar and am using "all in one gestures" instead. So have no way of activating miniview.

Thanks in advance

link2sd, temporary alternative for adoptable storage

Since for some reason I cannot flash any marshmallow FTF on my kid's M4 aqua. I'm encountering byte error or something during flashing. Therefore, I also cannot perform the adoptable storage mod since the phone is stuck with lollipop.

I instead went for link2sd app(needs root) and found it also works fine. I partitioned the 32GB as ~20GB normal fat32 and ~10GB as second partition(I used ext4, could also be ext2 or ext3) . Apk, cache, and data(for paid version) can be transferred to the second partition. Even for apk transfer only, it made a world of difference for this memory-challenged device.

Just for info to those who are in the same situation.

Weather Widget Alternative

I love my new Moto G4 Plus, but I find the standard Time and Weather widget to be a bit mundane. There are lots of 3rd party alternatives, but for those who may like the Accuweather app that comes with this widget, I just came across an alternative, called Command Center, posted by Sachin Naik in the Google+ Android Wallpapers community. The link to the apk is here.

"Correct" KingRoot alternative impossible ?

Hi,
I'm not a developer, just a geek. I wanted to have a rooted 6.0.1. I made all the stuff to root it (in 4.4.2), added recovery, etc. Then I downloaded the 6.0.1 ftf file (stock Taiwan version), the SuperSu and DualRecovery zip files, and made a "prerooted" zip file with PRF Creator. But it doesn't work, the system reboots every time I tried to open an app.
Other method is KingRoot, but it's very intrusive, adds a lot of stuff, the "superuser" is not "normal", etc.. BUT : it's a very simple rooting way, it works on Android versions where the EasyRootTool doesn't work, it's versatile (works on almost all hardware), etc.

My question is : with such good developers in XDA, it's not possible to make a rooting app like KingRoot, but without the extra stuff, a clean one and installing the "normal" SU ?

[GUIDE][Difficulty: intermediate] alternative way to set alarm based on calendar

The task is triggered by a time based profile, every day at 11:59 pm.


Set alarm (94)

A1: For [ Variable:%count Items:2:12 ] If [ %tit1 !~ shift ]
#a for-loop with up to 11 cycles, if condition to stop the loop, once an entry with the proper title is found. Since the "Test App" action checks at a certain point in time for an entry, we have to check every hour seperatly. 1st cycle will check for an calendar event starting at 2am, 2nd cycle will check at 3am and so forth. Last cycle will check for events starting at 2pm, because i expect myself to be woken up till then without an alarm clock.

A2: Variable Set [ Name:%times To:3600*%count+%TIMES Do Maths:eek:n Append:eek:ff ]
#the "Test App" action requires the time of when to check for an entry so we prepare a variable by adding one hour in seconds, multiplied by the cycle item (2-12), to the device time. If ur calendar event duration (start to end) is less than one hour u have to double the amount of cycle items (2-24) and multiply it by 1800 in order to check for an entry every 30min.

A3: Test App [ Type:Calendar Start (Seconds) Data:%times Store Result In:%res Continue Task After Error:eek:n ]
#if an calendar event is found at %times, it will write its starting time into the array %res

A4: Test App [ Type:Calendar Title Data:%times Store Result In:%tit ]
#this will write the events title into %tit.

A5: End For
#self expaining

A6: Stop [ With Error:eek:ff Task: ] If [ %tit1 !~ Schicht ]
#the task stops, if all cycles are executed and no calendar entry is found.

A7: Variable Convert [ Name:%res1 Function:Seconds to Medium Date Time Store Result In:%dat ]
#if u dont have overlapping calendar events, %res (still an array!) will have only one entry. So we convert it into a human readable format and save it inside %dat

A8: Variable Split [ Name:%dat Splitter: Delete Base:eek:ff ]
#we want only the time and not the whole date so we split at every whitespace

A9: Variable Split [ Name:%dat4 Splitter:: Delete Base:eek:ff ]
#now we have %dat4 in the format hh:mm but the "Set Alarm" action requires the providing of hours and minutes seperatly. So we split once again, this time ofc at the ":"

A10: Variable Subtract [ Name:%dat41 Value:2 Wrap Around:0 ]
#reducing the hours by 2 to have the alarm ring 2 hours before the event starts.

A11: Set Alarm [ Hours:%dat41 Minutes:%dat42 Message: Confirm:eek:ff ]
#self explaining

Iam going make this guide more fancy (screen shots and more explaination) later.


Best regards, Chillmann

Are there any alternative ways of finding out what is keeping my phone awake without

*without rooting ( don't know how to edit incorrect title)

The title pretty much says it all but this is why I was asking 👇

DIY or alternative shield stand

The Shield TV, while small, does take up a fair amount of desk space. There's an official stand for it, but at , it's a bit much for a simple block of aluminum.

There are plans for a 3D printed version but most of us don't have a 3D printer.

Are there any plans for a DIY stand that's good looking and easily built using common DIY tools and materials? Or something cheap and generic that fits well?

While we're at it, maybe even make a version that mounts to the back of the TV or monitor?
