Anyone out there?

For the last couple of days i've tried to find a way to unlock my phones bootloader, but i havent found any answers yet. Its a shame because there are tons of beautiful custom roms out there that offer a wide variety of features and a huge performance boost. So, does any of you have a way to install a custom recovery?

Is there a way to manually select 4K?

As it says in the title, or is there a way to make certain apps to run in 4k? For example running MXPlayer in 4K.

Using a Surface Pro 2, almost there, but seeking advice to go the rest of the way



I have a Surface Pro 2 that runs Remix OS PC 3 well enough, it just doesn't sleep it very well. Based on some complaints from regular Linux distributions I figured out that the lid closed switch freaks out on wakeup. That can be taken care of easily enough with a

Code:


echo LID0 disabled > /proc/acpi/wakeup

Now 90% of the time the tablet wakes up correctly. That last 10% it still has problems. What happens, and this was the same as before adjusting LID0, is the screen comes on full brightness, then either turns off or freezes after a few seconds. Either way, a reboot is required to fix it. I can usually get to the debug terminal, but the graphical display is broken.

Another remaining issue is the wifi. Once it's working, it works well enough, except that the region stuff isn't set, so the driver doesn't enable 5ghz. On Ubuntu

Code:


modprobe mwifiex reg_alpha2=US

will get it working, but the region information doesn't appear to be in Remix, because that doesn't enable 5ghz, or produce the expected cfg80211 initialization messages. Any advice on setting wifi region in Remix?

Is there any init.d type mechanism I can tap into? I tried using kernel adiutor's init.d emulation, but despite toast messages suggesting it's working, I still have to manually disable LID0.

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

Is there an android emulator that runs just ARM on x86 hardware?



Been testing android emulators for a couple of weeks looking for a solution that will emulate an ARMv7 based phone without the extra x86 library. Memu, Bluestacks, Genymotion, etc etc are both x86 and if enabled ARMv7. I can't use the native SDK emulator due to lack of GPS and other features, and I need to test tilt which works great with key mapping that the other emulators provide. So... is there a solution for either Mac (intel based) or Windows (intel x64)?



Has anyone used a magnetic usb cable with there m8?



Hey everyone, I have just seen these usb adaptors that clip into your usb port. Then magnetically connect to a USB cable for data/charging. Anyone using one? Would you recommend?

Here is an example

Is there any way for me to root?



I have a g900v with android 6.0.1 I downloaded OTA. I know nothing about this topic, I was an apple user for 4 years then switched to this. I've tried to downgraDE using firmware from sammobile, don't know if that's what I am supposed to do... but nothing ever works, it either gets stuck on verizon screen or Odin says fail and I have to flash 6.0.1. Can anyone help? And remember I'm a noob so if you do help, please post links and stuff.

Is there any TWRP or other recovery for SM-G930V



Seems like the only recovery is see in TWRP is for the edge or international versions of the model, so I'm having a hard time adding a recovery. Can anyone help??? I'd greatly appreciate it.



Why isn't there a PC app with Wear API support?



I live in a rural area where my best chance of getting service relies on having my phone shoved in a window. However, I carry a Samsung Gear Live on a daily basis, and it's very convenient and capable.

Because of where my phone is placed, I often have no access to it, and I do a lot of things at home that don't warrant wearing a watch, not to mention it's not exactly comfortable. Because of this, I've searched for various solutions to the problem of using my phone when I'm away from the phone. Thus far, there's obvious options like AirDroid, but that's unappealing since you need to leave this tab open at all times.

Yappy was an idea, but what made it most painful is it hardly ever sent my texts, and there was no configuration or history for the notifications when it passed through. Apparently, Microsoft's Cortana can integrate with the phone to allow notifications and texting from the PC.

What just baffles me is... why is there no app or extension that just uses the Wear API? Am I missing something, or is there just nothing out there that can connect via the Wear API, to offer as many features as a Wear watch, and not need to do much more than that? I imagine a simple app that connects like that would work just fine. I do understand the case of there being Wear apps that it would wanna use, but I also know that 4.4W was very rudimentary. So rudimentary, I couldn't even install much more than a Wear Bottle Spinner app. No new watch faces, no Skype or Music integration. It's so simple, I could imagine someone using the basic 4.4W framework to create an app to connect to Android Wear.

I'm unimpressed by the existence of apps that do their own thing, like Desktop Notifications, or Yappy, that ask you to use their apps together to achieve the best results. A Chrome extension, a Windows application, something simple that just connects with Android Wear over Wi-Fi. I think it's so simple, but so capable.

Have I just not searched enough? Am I missing something, a core aspect that makes it impossible to use the API in a simple Chrome extension, or has there just been no one who wanted to do it?



Why is there little to no support?!!?



There is hardly any support for the sprint variant of the s6/s6 edge only 2 kernels from what i know of and one marshmallow rom while other variants are getting much more support

is there a reason for this??? is it harder for devs to work on sprint??

N DP5: Sensors issues still there



Hello,

With DP5 (it was the same on DP4), after a while (it can be a day or an hour), some of the phone sensors stop working: no auto-rotation and no ambient display. Reboots fix the issue until it happens again.
The improvment between DP4 and 5 is that auto-brightness is not affected by the bug anymore.

I saw some threads on reddit and other sites about the issue and a few android bug reports but quite nothing on XDA except on thread with 1 reply.
Some Android dev had replied on a bug report that this is a known bug and that the fix was ready for the next update (ie DP5) but the bug is still there.

So do you also have the issue? Any ideas where it comes from?
Some people believe it's Pokemon GO-related, what do you think?

Thanks

(I know that most of people play Pokemon GO anyway so this could mean nothing but issue started on DP4 it seems, and Pokemon GO released when quite everybody had switched to DP4.)

Is there a way to install stock Sony apps on a custom rom?



Hi, XDA
so today i installed CM 13 beta for my Sony Xperia T (LT30p)
And i really like the rom but i kinda missed the stock apps like, Music, Album, Video and What's new.
So i went to the Google play store and i know you can download Music from the play store.
So i tried that but it said 'Your device isn't compatible with this version'. :(
I also tried to download it from the web as an apk but then it said 'this app is not installed'.
and now i'm wondering is there a way to download these Stock Sony apps on my Xperia T?
Thanks for the help XDA!

ps, i also tried downloading Music from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/cros...k-rom-t3263403 and it installed but i couldn't open it. it said: Unfortunately, Music has stopped.

Is there any way to install the vendor image through TWRP?



As the title says, I want to flash and update the vendor image using TWRP on the Nexus 6P.

This would help when you don't have a C-to-A cable, or if the drivers aren't working on your PC.

Is there any way to root the LG K3?



I realize this is a pretty new phone and since it is a lower end device it is probably not a priority for developers, but just wanted to ask.

Does anyone know if there is a way to root this phone?
