Coming from iOS and have a few questions

Hello,
I ditched my iPhone 6s Plus for a Oneplus 3, but have some questions:
- I have Nova Launcher installed. When listening to music using Spotify and tapping on "Close all apps", I dont want it to close Spotify as it is playing music.
- I have Jacks Music Widget installed. I want it to to open Spotify when tapping on it (I configured it this way in Settings), but it always opens Tidal.

Thanks for help!

Never again am I buying from LG

I bought this device because it was overall very good in all the reviews I read. I read that the charger that came with it didnt support Quick Charge 2.0. That was the first dissapointment. When i received it, it was running Android 6.0. I did an OTA check and no updates were available. I decided to download Lg Bridge and i finally found one update. I bought this device on one condition, to avoid LG UX 4.0. And guess what, my phone was part of an ever growing crowd of people who didnt have the eu bootloader! I felt like I was smacked in the face. I searched the internet for more info and my fears were confirmed. Ever since that i vowed to never buy from LG again. Android is about Freedom and there is none of that on the LG G4. European market bias confirmed:crying:. Months after the discovery I had witnessed the scariest thing ever, I was listening to some music with my LG earphones plugged in. And suddenly i couldnt wake the damned thing anymore but when i touched the screen i could hear typing sounds, I had to pull the battery out. The battery life on the thing was mediocre at best, the screen never lived up the my expectations, the phone gets dangerously hot when i use snapchat. The only thing going for the LG G4 is its camera which was probably the best in 2015. I simply cannot stand the lag on the phone anymore and I am searching for other phones. Im not that kind of person who spends 600 euros on a phone. Then the Oneplus 3 showed and for 400 euro i get a phone 2 times as powerful, dash charging, an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER and a premium design. Whats more Oneplus actually tries to fix its phones and released tons of fxes for the OP2. Im pretty sure the phone will get Android Nougat even if it takes a while(after witnessing what speedy updates meant on the LG G4 I would prefer slow and steady progress). The only thing the oneplus loses in is the camera department which will improve. Im tempted to wait for the 2016 Nexuses as they will have the best Android experience as well as support for Daydream vr. Ive also checked out the ugly zenfone 3 deluxe which will cost much more than 400 euro. The Axon 7 is also tempting but im not sure if the 6gb version will come out, the bootloader seems to be locked for now(check out the devices forum) So guys should i wait for the more expensive Nexus by HTC or look out for the OP3 and Axon 7?

downgrading from CM13 marshmallow 6.0.1 to stock rom - need help

Hi everyone. I need to know if it's possible to downgrade from CM13 to the stock rom/firmware my phone came with which is Jellybean 4.3. I decided to upgrade my OS so I could try out Pokemon Go. Originally I was just going to upgrade to 4.4 which is the minimum version required for the app but I decided I might as well upgrade to the newest one. The newer the better right? And I would also be future proof for any other apps that might require a newer OS. But not only did I not like Pokemon Go, which I ended up uninstalling, (I don't know how such a simple bare bones game like that is so popular) I also don't like marshmallow. Some features are missing that I had in 4.3 like Double Tap to Top where you can double tap the top of the phone to quickly scroll to the top of the screen or the option to hide folders in the gallery which is bare bones and has no options or features. I can't move apps from one screen to the next with my thumb like I used to because I have to push the app as far past the edge of the screen as possible in order for the screen to switch so I have to use my index finger to do it. I'm thinking this is because it was designed for the edge which has the screen going over the side of the phone. I also just don't like the look of Marshmallow compared to Jellybean. And my phone takes forever to boot up now clocking in at about a minute and a half. Instead of gaining access to something better that previously wasn't available to me I feel like I forced something on the phone that doesn't belong and shouldn't be there.

If anyone can help me downgrade I would appreciate that very much. I tried to do it with the same method I used to upgrade by rooting the phone again with odin and then just flashing the stock OS but odin didn't work (I already had CyanogenMod installed from when I upgraded). Odin gave me the confirmation that I successfully rooted my phone but when I checked it with a root verification app it said my phone wasn't properly rooted and SuperSU also says there's no root detected. I'm sure this has something to do with me having marshmallow this time instead of jellybean. I tried using google for help but I couldn't find anything about my situation. Now I don't know what to do which is why I'm here. This was my first time installing a different OS so I'm new at this.

[Q] Going from one carrier to another

The company I work for is changing carriers - VZW to AT&T.

That should be a simple matter - just change the nano-sim since our phone is unlocked and all network capable.

My boss is trying to tell me that AT&T has had problems with this phone. Can anyone here confirm problems?

What can't FlashFire flash from Nexus 5X factory images?

I want to have a rooted stock Android Nexus 5X with stock recovery. I also want to keep my boot loader locked. But I've read that automatic OTA updates don't work on a rooted phone. Then I found out about FlashFire.

But I also read that FlashFire doesn't allow flashing of the radio and boot loader. Chainfire himself said "FlashFire can flash both bootloaders and modems on most Nexus devices. However, I would only flash the modem and not the bootloaders, to be on the safe side. Or, use the full size OTAs available from Google rather than the Fastboot package, and circumvent the issue (those flash both bootloader and modem if necessary, with less risk when doing the bootloaders)."

So I've got 2 questions:
1. Is it possible to flash everything, including the radio and boot loader on the 5X?
2. If the boot loader is flashable, what are the potential drawbacks of flashing it with Flashfire instead of fastboot?

Thanks

Do you think its actually worth upgrading from a S6 Edge to a S7 Edge?

I can't get myself to upgrade from my s6 edge to an s7 edge! Yeah it's waterproof. Bit faster. Hardware's better. But, I really don't think many people including myself will be happy spending that much cash to get a phone that's almost identical in looks. To be honest I couldn't believe Samsung even called it the S7 Edge. Should've been more like an Apple iphone6 to iphone6s. Seeing as it's basically only small upgrade should use really sell that to people as a totally upgraded new design phone when the simple fact is its just an upgraded S6 Edge...

Hi all, i've been trying to fix this for 2 days and still failed to get it working.

I regret that i quickly jump into the nougat build and would like to get back to stock rom for now.

I tried downloading all the ROMs at stock rom thread and keep on encountering error when update reached 51% with software package/update failed error message.
I'm using P9-L19 and hopefully can revert back to C636 roms.

Thanks.:crying:

Can't Downgrade from LOLLIPOP 5.0.2 using flashtool. please help

I had bricked my lg g2 which was running 4.4.2. i successfully got flashtool to reflash 4.2.2 and everything was working great. I was trying to go to 5.0 to play pokemon with root. So i updated the software OTA. When i got to the 5.0.2. the updated errored out when it was rebooting. Now I cant get and google services to work. i want to go back to kit kat now but the flashtool will not let me. every time i start it asks me if i want to cancel or retry. when i hit retry it doesnt work. And when i used to hit cancel it would start working anyway but it no longer works when i hit cancel either.

any help would be appreciated.

Restore Download mode from Fastboot

Hi,
I have a d415 that i booted into fastboot mode with and wanted to unlock bootloader with. I then found out that it was already unlocked. Now i would like to restore download incase i screw anything up. I have the laf.img. Where do i go from there? None of the commands i type in fastboot mode work, possibly because i didn't correctly install the fastboot and adb drivers. If that is the problem, can someone give me clear instructions on how to download them, thanks. Instead, i used the basic adb and fastboot files from a different thread from android sdk. Adb doesn't even work anymore for me now. Please help
Thanks a ton in advance!

Bootlop / cannot enter TWRP from Bootloader Menu / Power button stuck

Hi guys,

I currently have some issues with my beloved N5. I try to be as specific as I can (therefore the text will be a bit longer) :D
First things first: My device is experiencing the well known "stuck power button problem".
But I also do have problems which are not related to that one (at least thats what I believe).

Overview:
CM 13.1
ElementalX Kernel
TWRP on 3.0.20

Main issue: I can not start my phone regularly. When not plugged in, it just does not respond at all.
If it is plugged in I can get into the bootloader with only pressing Volume down (because the power button is stuck inside). Weird fact #1: in bootloader the power button should work to confirm a specific task like Start, or boot into recovery but it doesnt. Also: the phone is steady in the bootloader and does not keep rebooting.

Therefore I wanted to perform a backup (nandroid or at least all media) and reflash my ROM to see whether it is more of a software issue. I tried booting into TRWP which is not working (device shuts down after Google logo (might be because of the power button issue?).
I know that I can flash the recovery again through adb or the Nexus ToolKit but obviously I want to save my data first.
As far as I know there is no option as adb pull or through the recovery to save those only being in bootloader mode, am I right?
Question: Can I dirty flash without losing data? If thats not the cure, what else could help?

Other facts to know: while running

Code:

---

adb devices

---

I get that the

Code:

---

"adb server version (36) doesnt match this client (35): killing...

---

but then:

Code:

---

*daemon started successfully*

---

(same in Nexus Toolkit).
If I continue with

Code:

---

adb backup

---

it says: no devices / emulators found. Altough the nexus toolkit (and fastboot devices) say:

Code:

---

FASTBOOT: 03181238e07723e0 fastboot

---

If you made it until here thank you for reading :good: and I would be even more pleased if someone could help. ;)

Best,
McRacoon
