Enabling OTG support in Micromax Canvas Nitro A310


Device info :



  • Model Number : Micromax A310

  • Android Version : 4.4.2

  • Kernel Version : 3.4.67


The question here doesn't clear out whether all Android devices has OTG support or not. I need OTG support for my device and used USB OTG Checker to check OTG support. The app says -



Your Device OS NOT Support USB OTG!



There is another general note mentioned there that interested me a lot which says -



Important Note: USB OTG function only able fully work if your device OS has USB OTG API and load with USB OTG Kernel.



But on the other hand, looking on Google for enabling OTG support in my device ended me with this XDA link which says that Stock Rom doesn't provide OTG support and solely rooting your device can sort this out.


So the questions are-




  1. Does rooting a device really enables OTG support?




  2. If not, can external API and a USB OTG Kernel be loaded in a Stock ROM to get the desired functionality? Can loading external API has ever been done before somewhere? I know doing such about kernel.




  3. If (2) is true, then does the fact that compatible HW is also required becomes irrelevant?




  4. Not to mention, I do need to know can I get OTG support if its possible?







Nexus 6 OTA from 5.0.1 to 5.1 fails - Error in block.map


I am trying to upgrade my Nexus 6 with version 5.0.1 (Build number LRX22C) via OTA to Android 5.1.


The OTA update is downloaded successfully and after pressing "Restart & Install" I see a dead droid with the message "Error!".


The phone was rooted and I unrooted it via SuperSU. Did not help. Wiping cache partition also did not change anything.


These are the logs:



Finding update package..
Opening update package..
Verifying update package..

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system has been remounted R/W: reflash device to reenable OTA updates
E: Error in 0/cache/recovery/block.map

I would really like to upgrade without wiping the data.


Thanks.





Samsung galaxy A5 USB Otg supported?


I have checked with few USB Otg checkers it said there are Apr are present in mobile. But i could not able to connect Pendrive. Many entry levels phones also have this feature. But this is recently launched metal body phone. I really wondered why this feature is not present. Any way to enable this?





retrieve logcat after a system crash


Is it possible to retrieve a logcat from before a system crash after the phone recovers? I.e. my phone is running normally, then it crashes and reboots, and I want to view the logs when it recovers to try to determine what caused the crash. I can't find any way to view logcat in anything other than realtime, except to have a terminal emulator running and execute logcat -f logcat.txt V, then just leave it running forever. That could build up a massive file that eats up all my storage.


I can't believe there's no way to view a crash report, I just can't figure out how.





Bluetooth Headset suddenly stopped using google now


I bought an LG Tone Pro HBS 750 about a week ago, and it's been great. The phone button, on the left, activated a Google Now voice prompt, even when the phone was off. However, this morning, it suddenly started using the Voice Dialer. I've been Googling for the solution to this problem all day, but all the results I can find are people asking how to enable Google Now voice actions. All the answers require downloading some kind of app, which I don't want to do because it clearly worked before. I've tried:



  • Resetting all the app defaults. The button doesn't (and never had) prompted for a default action app

  • Disabling Google Dialer. This makes the phone app unavailable, but the voice dialer still works

  • Force stopping Google App. This seems to be the app that runs the voice dialer, but stopping it doesn't help. It can't be disabled.

  • Unpairing and repairing the headset

  • Resetting the phone with the headset on

  • Resetting the phone with the headset off


This is on a Nexus 5 running stock Android 5.1





Data-Only USB Cable for Android devices


It is possible to manufacture a cable that transmits data but doesn't charge my device?


I already tried to cut the 5V wire, but after that no data is transmitted (Neither the device is charged).


Cutting the GRND wire apparently doesn't make any difference (Data/Charging works normally)


Reason: I need to check the phone battery consumption during some scenarios, and I need to send ADB commands to read battery value and input commands(Touch/Swipe/Open app, etc)





Can I install android 5 before version of "V20b April 7,2014"

I notices its version V20b April 7,2014. So what should I do ? Is there never version of android I can install directly or I have to install the next version first than the version which has already installed.My current version is 4.2.2

My phone was stolen recently, and I'm trying to use my wife's old S2 as a temporary replacement. She had a password screenlock, and she can't remember what it was. When I put in my new SIM, the screenlock is still there. Is there a way to get around it?





Android BLE does not receive any beacon after it start for a period of time


Android BLE device does not receive any beacon after it starts for a period of time, My app have initialized BLE at the beginning. even I restart my app, it still doesn't work,I have to restart Bluetooth. I don't know why it happened. This is my code below:

}


LeScanCallback does not receive any beacon..





Controller problem withmy denver tablet


So i connected my controller to my tablet using a usb to mni usb cable and the analogs ork fine but the buttons don't work at all. I know what is the problem (i am not using a x360 controller; i am usinga smartbox controller that is made both for pc and ps3). So i'm wondering if there is any way to emulate the controller so that it could be recognized as a 360 controller or if you can set the buttons.


BTW i have tryed it on almost all the apps that have controller support and there was the same problem.

Android Studio - google maps points of interest


So far I have managed to implement a simple google maps in my android app. What I would like to do now is to make my app buzz everytime the person is near a park (let the radius be 1/4 miles). Is there a way I can do that? How can my app detect depending on the position if the person is near a point of interest? Any ideas?

Speaker click in silent mode


I've observed in 2 or 3 android phones that when you set the volume to zero, you still can hear a very gentle click noise when you receive some notification that would cause a sound notification. My question is why is necessary to program it to activate and deactivate the speaker in that case, causing the click, instead of just keeping it off. Maybe it is a question for electronics.stackexchange.com?





Youtube 5 is always syncing on Android 2


since I updated my YouTube app from the pre-installed version to 5.5.30 on my Android with 2.6 which is running on a Samsung GT I9003, YouTube tries to sync something all the time.


I'm logged in with a YouTube account an can play all the videos without problems. But, YouTube uses most of the battery and the sync icon is always there.


Forcing the app to stop with the task manager sometimes fixes this issue.


Removing the update fixes the problem, but the default version is not really nice.


Any help would be really appreciated!

How to create a new user in Android TV 5.1?


Just got the update to Android TV 5.1 and there is a new option to create an account. When I hit that option, I get to a blank page. So is it finally possible to create a new user or did Google just forget to disable that option for Android TV?





Reboot does not run at all


I followed this piece of command copied from this site


http://ift.tt/1E909qZ



importing the certificates on your Android device

Copy the files to the /sdcard folder, either with any file manager or with adb push.

Go into adb shell (adb shell from commandline), or open the 'terminal'-application on your android device. You will get a command prompt similar like shell@android:/ $
Gain superuser/root rights, neccessary to perform privileged actions:
su
Make the /system folder writable (will return to read-only upon reboot):
mount -o remount,rw /system
Copy the new certificate files to the correct folder on your Android device:
cp /sdcard/5ed36f99.0 /system/etc/security/cacerts/
cp /sdcard/e5662767.0 /system/etc/security/cacerts/
Correct the file permissions to u=rw, g=r, o=r:
cd /system/etc/security/cacerts/
chmod 644 5ed36f99.0
chmod 644 e5662767.0
Check if the files are ok:
ls -al -Z
Omit '-Z' if you are using a version of Android without SElinux, it just shows some extra security settings which might be useful if you run into trouble. Amongst the other default android certificate files, you will see the two new files: -rw-r–r– root root u:object_r:system_file:s0 5ed36f99.0 and -rw-r–r– root root u:object_r:system_file:s0 e5662767.0
The certificates will be loaded upon the next boot of your device, so reboot your device:

reboot


The moment i hit the command reboot. My android emulator from my android studio emulator hangs. Nothing seems to happen with reboot and the files that i placed in the system folder is also missing.


Does reboot take a very long time as i only waited about 2mins.


Basically what happened is that after i ran remount. I ran adb devices and it shows me that emulator - 5554 is offline. why is this so when my emulator is running perfectly well

my phone says "invalid URL" and "Error 944" whenever I download apps


I've been trying to download applications for weeks but it always says "Invalid URL". What am I going to do?





Add a shortcut to a different home screen?


Is there a way that I can add a shortcut to another home screen?


What I'm aiming for is having my primary home screen that includes a shortcut to various topical home screens where I can have both widgets and app shortcuts.


Adding a number of home screens in this manner makes it difficult to navigate, which is why I'd like to add shortcuts to them.


For example, right now my primary home screen has a finance folder and a social media folder, etc that each contain app shortcuts. I then have a separate home screen that has a couple finance widgets on it, another home screen that has a couple widgets from my social media apps, etc. I am not using as many widgets as I'd like because I don't want to have to scroll through home screens to get to the widget I want.


My goal is to have my primary home screen contain a shortcut that goes to a home screen that has my finance widgets and app shortcuts, as well as another shortcut on the primary home screen that goes to a different home screen containing my social media widgets and app shortcuts, and so on.


(I'm using a non-rooted Samsung Galaxy Edge running 4.4.4.)

What are Xamarin player alternatives?


It is possible to simulate Android using Xamarin player with Virtual Box:

The number of devices to choose is limited. Are there similar tools that are, like Xamarin player using Virtual Box (or a Virtual Box alternative).





When exactly does the Android ID change?


Depending on the source, I read difference answers to this question so it would be good to know all options.


As far as I know:



  • By a tool when the device is rooted

  • Factory reset


Other situations? Like when the android version is (automatically) upgraded. Is it possible that the Android ID changes after an action of an "average" user?

How can I find out the dimensions/resolution of a downloaded video file?


My only device = An android tablet (4.0.3) (Read = NO laptop).


Long ago, I used to have a laptop, but circumstances have left me with (technology wise) ONLY an android tablet (4.0.3). When I used to have a laptop, I used VLC not only to watch videos that I downloaded & collected, but also to check on what a specific video's dimensions were (examples = 480x360, 640x480, 1280x720, 1920x1080). Now that I only have an android tablet (4.0.3), I have looked for a way to do this, but with zero success. I have tried lots of video players for android, including VLC's own app, & none of them have the option to show ANY information about a video file. I use such information because the videos that I download always have more than one size available (dimensionals wise), but never identify the dimensions that any file has.


So, if anybody knows of any apps for android (video players or not) that will show me the dimensions of a specific video file that I have downloaded & have on my android tablet (4.0.3), please post the name of that android app(s) (a link to it would help too, but the name alone should help). Thanks in advance for your help.


PS Do NOT show your IQ by telling me to "Just ask somebody who has a laptop to (insert your laptop-needing 'advice' here)".

Cannot access hidden files on Nexus 5 after root


I'm making some apps for android and wanted to change files in the data/data/com.myapp/ folder, so I decided to root my Nexus 5.


This did the opposite of what I wanted. I used to be able to VIEW hidden files, but not modify them. Now, after root I cannot see anything but default folders (DCIM, Download, Music...) on my phone in windows explorer.



  • Windows explorer file options is set to see all files

  • I think this may be a USB driver issue, but have tried all the drivers in the sdk folder

  • I do not want to use ADB commands to manage files, i do not think this is necessary


I'd be grateful for any help with this. I've looked at other posts and forums and cannot find anything similar to this.

On how many devices can you install a paid app purchased from the Amazon App Store?


Several questions on Android Enthusiasts (including [this one])1 seek to determine on how many different Android devices an app purchased from the Google Play Store can be installed. The answers provided state that the answer is "unlimited".


What about applications purchased from the Amazon App Store? Are there limits to the number of devices on which the app can be installed. Or is it unlimited as well?





HTC One M8 strange errors


Last night I forgot to charge my HTC One M8 phone, and when I woke up in the morning, the battery was dead, Unsurprisingly. I plugged it in to charge for about 20 minutes (only to about 30 % or so charge) and then left my house (With my phone in my pocket). The device was off during charging, and I only turned it on about an hour ago, putting it back in my pocket after seeing that it booted fine (and that I had about 30% charge left). About 15 minutes ago, I noticed the device against my leg getting very hot, and pulled it out to see the "HTC One" startup screen. I found this strange because I had already turned on the device, so I don't know why it would be rebooting.


After it started up again, I went looking for what may have caused my phone to seemingly reboot as it did, and in the process of using the device to do this, my screen went black and showed the HTC startup screen again, and afterward, back to my lock-screen. I'm pretty sure It's been doing this cycle of starting up and then randomly re-booting since I turned the unit on some hour ago.


I use an otter-box defender on my phone, and noticing that the case was extremely hot on its own, I removed the phone from its case. The rear of the phone was even hotter, to say that I wouldn't be able to hold the device that long because of how warm it is. From this I was able to determine that Overheating could be the cause of this cycle, so I tried to shut off the device by holding the power button and selecting "power off" from the menu, but after it would shut down, the unit would TURN BACK ON. I have no explanation for how or why this would happen.


It seems now the device has run itself out of battery, so I'm letting it cool for the next couple hours until I can charge it again at home. Is there any solution to this should it be happening again?

Problem importing a certificate to CyanogenMod 9.1


I'am having trouble importing a self signed certificate to my Sony Ericsson xperia Arc S running Cyanogenmod 9.1. I have tried everythind that came to mind.


First, the usual method:



  • downloaded certificate in pem format as cert.crt using firefox on the sdcard root

  • opening settings on the phone, then security, install from SD card.

  • phone asks for name, i give it and then the phone shows message that the certificate was successfully installed

  • if I go to trusted credentials -> user, certificate is not there and the site I downloaded it for still shows as untrusted

  • I also tried importing by uploading the certificate on the site and downloading it in the android browser - same result - success message and now certificate imported.


Second, I tried to get it into the system certificates




  • first the conversion with these commands (first command shows the hash used in the other two):


    openssl x509 -inform PEM -subject_hash_old -in root.crt | head -1


    cat root.crt > 5ed36f99.0


    openssl x509 -inform PEM -text -in root.crt -out /dev/null >> 5ed36f99.0




  • then I moved certificates on the phone, remounted /system with write permissions, moved certificate to /system/etc/security/cacerts/ and changed its permissions to 655. Reboot.




  • After reboot, certificate shows itself correctly in trusted credentials system tab, but the website still appears untrusted.




The question is, is there another option to install the certificate, or to disable certificate check for site system-wide (I need a application to access this site also). Or does someone have a similar problem?


I should add that I also own an Xperia Arc (without S) running cyanogenmod 9.0, where the certificates are actually working via the frist two methods.


Thanks in advance





Unify Volume Control Via Rocker


Is there really no way to make the volume rocker on the side of my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 control ALL volumes at once, every time? I really don't understand why the volume rocker doesn't just control the freakin speakers like normal volume control knobs instead of having separate controls for different applications and the rocker only working on whatever app you're in at the time. I want to be able to turn the volume of the device, and everything on my device, up and down, simultaneously, with the volume rocker. Can anyone help?

SMS intercepted and edited before arriving?


I'm hoping someone here can help me with something. The other day I received a text message from someone and the latter half of it was odd and didn't have anything to do with the conversation.


When I asked the person who sent it they said they never sent it... even though it was part of the original message bubble that i received from them. I even looked at their phone and the part in question was not there on their phone.


So i'm wondering: is it possible for someone to edit out/delete part of their sent sms? Or is there software out there where someone could possibly intercept a message, ad to it, and then pass it along so only the receiver has the "additional" parts?


I'm using a samsung galaxy ace 2 an they have a samsung 3. Sorry if this is vague or not specific enough technically... just confused and don't know much about this stuff.

How to insert a SIM card on a MyWigo City?


First of all, excuse me if this is not the correct site to ask this question or if it seems too stupid, but I have been struggling with that for some hours and I couldn't solve it yet.


The point is that I want to insert a SIM card to a MyWigo City (http://ift.tt/1GevU1x) but I don't know how to do it. It's a dual-SIM phone, but I can only see one slot for SIM cards. In the pictogram next to it, it says that I have to insert the SIM cards horizontally and one overlapping the other? It doesn't make any sense for me.


MyWigo City SIM card slot


I tried all possible ways I could imagine and none of them worked.





Why don't I have a "users" setting? How to enable?


I've been fighting with this for over a year now. I keep finding instructions that say to go to Settings and click Users. I read that this setting is available on ALL 4.2+ tablets, but not some phones. Well... it isn't on mine! I've tried rooting and installing Xposed Installer's Multi Users module thinking "aha! that oughta do it!"... but no, even then it says to go to the Settings->Users, which isn't there.


Why in the world is my menu different than everyone elses'?


It is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Model number is SM-T210R Android version is 4.2.2





Android Studio Installation -Unable to run mksdcard SDK tool. on 32 bit Ubuntu 12.10


So, I am trying to install Android Studio in



OS : UBUNTU 12.10, 32 bit.



And I tried installing it for 3-4 times each time it got stuck due to slow internet connection and showing Connection Lost in the terminal.


Now , this time when I again did



./studio.sh



it shows



Unable to run mksdcard SDK tool. One common reason for this failure is missing required libraries Please fix the underlying issue and retry.



I saw various posts which shows this occurs in 64 bit OS and installing libraries using



sudo apt-get install ia32-libs



or



sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32stdc++6



will install required 32 bit libraries , but I am already on a 32 bit OS .


and when I try above command , I get



E: Package 'ia32-libs' has no installation candidate.



Software center also shows negative result: enter image description here


So, the point is has anyone came across this in a 32 bit UBUNTU 12.10 OS . Any workaround will be greatly appreciated .


Thanks.





Unwanted Toast Notifications with SMS Reciept


I have suddenly been getting toast pop ups when I receive a new text, SMS of MMS. They are little grey screens at the bottom of the screen that pop up. They are not the same notifications at the top in the status var or the notification across the top of the lock screen. I don't know why, I didn't have a software update and I can't figure out how to turn it off. They even appear in my lock screen.


How can I disable the toast pop ups? I have a Galaxy S4 SCH-1545 on version 4.4.2

Run google-chrome with flags on Android


There are command line flags (or "switches") that Chromium (and Chrome) accept in order to enable particular features or modify otherwise default functionality.


Chromium Command Line Switches


Run Chromium with flags


Tried Chrome 41.0.xx and Chromium 43.0.xxx shell with:



# echo "chrome <flags>" > /data/local/tmp/android-webview-command-line
# echo "chrome <flags>" > /data/local/tmp/content-shell-command-line


Any idea how to run chrome with flags on Android or directly add these into default profile.

How to resolve "enter the password for credential storage" issue?


So I am playing around with fiddler web proxy. I need to decrypt https traffic. So I am trying to put the fiddler root CA cert in my device trust store. But it keeps asking me "Enter the password for credential storage". If i enter anything and click enter I see an Toast message saying



Credential storage has been erased



and the password prompt comes again. This goes on in a loop. For the record I have selected "Wifi" as the Credential use instead of "App n VPN" (not sure of that matters).


enter image description here


Next wired thing that I noticed is that after each prompt the description changes for label



The package contains



The value for it increases each time the password prompt is shown. For eg - 3 CA certificates, 4 CA certificates and so on...


enter image description here


As much as I want my device to accept this certificate I would appreciate if someone could explain the "credential storage" concept and the weird increment of CA certs text.

Why are encryption unlock methods different on different devices?


Why is it that different devices offer different methods of unlocking an encrypted device? E.g. my Samsung S4 only allows a password. But apparently many other devices allow a pin. And new nexuses allow a pattern.


Why would this be different? Wouldn't it be an OS level thing? Is it set by the manufacturer?


And, is there any way to find this out for a particular device without getting your hands on it? Looking for a new phone and its very hard to find out what options they support.

Export WiFi x509 client certificate


My Android (4.4) device has a WiFi configured which uses WPA2-TLS authentication with client certificates.


I got my hands on the wpa_supplicant configuration and the relevant entry looks like this:

How can I get hold of the certificates and the key?





Malware on lg g3 redirecting all browsers


More or less two or three weeks ago strange pop ups came up on my pc. Antivirus detected ga.js as virus. I thought it was a false positive. Then I've found that the thing somehow jumped on my phone. Every time I surf the internet, unwanted sites pop up. The thing is equally behaving on all browsers: native g3 browser, Mozilla and Chrome. I've tried almost everything: Kaspersky free, McAfee security, delete chrome cookies, block cookies, delete site data, delete cached data, reset my router and clear the dns cache, as well as Malware bytes. Nothing. The thing goes undetected, same thing on the pc. Even surfing without the router my phone redirects everytime I browse. I'm about to hard reset my phone but this evidently is a malware. So how is it possible that it goes unnoticed?





What's your Android question? Be specific


Apparently, Android provides a keystore via binder which encrypts the data it received. As far as I found out, the data is lying around in /data/misc/keystore/user_0.


According to Analysis of Secure Key Storage Solutions on Android the data is encrypted, but it's somewhat contradicting the information in Android Security Internals: An In-Depth Guide to Android's Security Architecture in that it is unclear where exactly in the .masterkey file the salt is stored for the PBKDF. Secure Key Storage and Secure Computation in Android is a bit more clear, but doesn't provide an implementation.


I found a program in the Android tree which talks to the Keystore deamon, but my Android doesn't have that binary.


So I guess my question is, how to access the plain text content in /data/misc/keystore/user_0?





Unable to use Android Device Manager to reset my Password


I recently locked my Nexus 7 (2013) having Android 5.0.2 with a password, which I forgot. I, then, thought to use Device Manager, since I've authorized it from Google Settings to make changes, such as locating and changing password.


Previously, my PIN used to get reset from ADM, but, this this time I am using a Password. Is that the reason?


This is what it says, "We successfully sent a lock request to your device."


And after that when I rejoice and feel a bit relieved, "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password that you entered won't be needed."


I am trying to override my previous password over this new password..


Screenshot is also attached! This is the error


Is there any other way of resetting the password except ADM, on Android 5.0.2, like that Google Account's credentials it used to ask on Froyo.


P.S. I've set all permissions for ADM at Google Settings on my Nexus.

SMS notifications on Moto G2 no longer appear


Recently my Moto G2 device stopped showing text message notifications on the notification bar.



  • The device has been running on Android 5.0 (the upgrade caused no issues)

  • I am using the stock messaging app and there are no other messaging apps on my phone

  • Notifications are turned on

  • There is no option to enable or disable app notifications for the stock message app since it does not appear on on the "Apps" menu.

  • Notifications from other apps like Whatsapp are shown

  • I have not done a factory reset yet


enter image description here


I have uninstalled a dozen other apps like DU Batter Saver and Applock just to narrow down things that might be interfering with the stock messaging app. Powering off and powering back on does not work either.


I need some help.





Samsung Galaxy S3 Internal Storage Issues?


My Samsung Galaxy S3 has a range of strange problems. I'm running CM11 but they started well before I moved away from Stock. I rommed my phone in hopes of fixing them, assuming it was software related.


Issues in order of appearance: - While recording videos with the camera, the picture will often lock up momentarily, then come good. This same stutter is then visible in the recorded video. Shooting video direct to an external SD did not fix this - When pressing the stop button to end a video recording, the camera interface locks up for up to a couple of minutes before I then see the slide out thumbnail to indicate that the video was saved to my storage. It seems the longer the video, the longer I wait. 10 seconds can take up to 30 seconds. Other times it can just be instant. - App store updates or installs fail occasionally for no apparent reason, but work on retry. - Screen suddenly goes blank, but the phone is still responsive. If I press the home or power button I get illumination on my buttons, as it does when responding to touch on the lockscreen. I've left my phone for up to 15 minutes to see if it comes good but sadly only a battery-pull does the trick. - Dialog box appears while receiving a call to say the Contacts has crashed.


I've been trying to find a way to scan for filesystem errors on my internal storage using fsck, but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm after. Surely there is a way to do a humble "check disk" on an Android device?

Modifying Xperia Z3 Home button quick-launch?


I recently purchased an Xperia Z3 Model #: 6603:




Prior to now, the quick-launch-from-home utility (swipe up from home) has only contained quick access to Google. I really liked this, however in an attempt to clear some data and disable unwanted apps, I must have somehow changed something. Because now the Sony "What's New" app also has a quick launch access.


The "What's New" app is, in my opinion, totally useless and a little annoying. However, it cannot be disabled. At the very least I would like to remove it's quick launch access, but cannot seem to find the setting to change it. If there is anyone out there who may be able to provide some help it would be greatly appreciated.




If this can not be solved conventionally, then i would also like to request assistance with safely rooting my phone and cleaning it of unnecessary manufacturer inclusions such as "What's New", and various others. I am aware of a method for accomplishing this however I have some questions about the process.


Thank you in advance for your time.

What do data, data cache, and OBB mean when installing applications?


What is the difference between data, data cache and OBB? I've been seeing them when I'm downloading apks from other app website providers. Sometimes, they're separated from the APK file download server (e.g.; "Download APK", "Download APK + DATA"/ "Download APK + DATA CACHE", "Download APK + OBB"). Other times, they have these "ARM" versions, or something like that. Do the "resources" on some apps need to be downloaded for the completion of installation, DATA or OBB?

How to completely disable SELinux in Android L in the init.rc file


I want to disable SELinux at boot time for Android L or 5. The reason is because my daemon is not begin executed on boot when it should due to SELinux problems. I have the following in my init.rc file:



su 0 setenforce 0
service my_daemon /system/bin/my_daemon
class main # Also tried: class core (but it didn't make a difference)
user root
group root


However, on boot, I use adb shell to check if SELinux is disabled (using getenforce) and it returns Enforcing. I want SELinux to be completely disabled on boot. If not completely disabled then at least Permissive.


Any suggestions?

Nexus 6 OTA from 5.0.1 to 5.1 fails - Error in block.map


I am trying to upgrade my Nexus 6 with version 5.0.1 (Build number LRX22C) via OTA to Android 5.1.


The OTA update is downloaded successfully and after pressing "Restart & Install" I see a dead droid with the message "Error!".


The phone was rooted and I unrooted it via SuperSU. Did not help. Wiping cache partition also did not change anything.


These are the logs:



Finding update package..
Opening update package..
Verifying update package..

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system has been remounted R/W: reflash device to reenable OTA updates
E: Error in 0/cache/recovery/block.map

I would really like to upgrade without wiping the data.


Thanks.

Number displays instead the saved contact name on Samsung note 4


As per the title, its just the number which displays instead name. I've noticed that multiple contact syncs are active and disabled all except for one which I require. But still the problem persists. I've also selected the preferred contacts which needs to be sorted on contact settings which didn't work too.


On a related note, our network provider does not send the CLID with the country code but just raw number... Nevertheless, the contacts on my account stored are with the country code including + sign. Whatsoever, the contact app should display the saved contact name despite how it is saved since the number is available.


Are there any work around to over come this issue? or is this really a bug in the OS?

How to fix stuttering audio playback?


On my HTC desire 510, Android ver. 4.4.3 audio playback is unreliable. I encounter stuttering playback when using soundcloud. As soundcloud buffers everything locally and the problem is reoccurring when playing offline this can't be a streaming (network) issue.


Are there any knobs and wheels I can fiddle with?





Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910C USB connection interrupted repeatedly


Recently I flashed the lollipop firmware and didn't like it so, I flashed 4.4.4 again for my N910C and rooted.


I can't use USB connection normally now. When I plug my phone to my laptop, I can see and edit folders of my phone for 10 seconds, then the connection interrupts and re-connects. This process repeats and doesn't stop.


I already tried *#7284# and *#0808# processes but they fail all the time.


How can I solve this issue?


Thanks.

sending two different messages on click off Togglebutton


I have a ToggleButton. When that button is clicked once, the Byte[] containing the message {(byte)0x01,(byte)0x02} has to be sent to server and when the same button is clicked again the Byte[] containing the msg {(byte)0xFE,(byte)0x01} has to be sent to the server. My client code is like this.


Public void onClick(View v) {


if(v.getId()==R.id.btncon) {



if(con.isChecked())

new Thread(new Runnable(){

String user=br.readline();
Log.d("home",user);
}

{
e.printStackTrace();

}
}).start();


}


else {


try{



PrintStream pw1=new PrintStream(s.getOutputStream());

pw.Println(message1);

s.close();

pw.flush();

}}

e.printStackTrace();


}


finally


{


in.close();

sock.close();


}}}


When message is send from the client, when server recieves and prints the value i am getting a different value.I want the output to be displayed as it is sent. please help.Thanks in advance.


A code for both server and client would be helpful

How to disable street names in android voice navigation?


I'm stuck with a quite simple problem, still can't find the solution. I'd like to disable street names reading in voice navigation, to keep just simple guidance like "turn right" or "turn left". Can't find an option in settings so maybe configuring text to speach engine somehow would help?

XOLO Q1000 SIM CARD ERROR. Not being able to flash other roms due to bootloop.


I recently rooted a Xolo q1000 phone and flashed CWM. I flashed a zip ROM but was not happy with it. I then downloaded a kitkat based rom from XDA which had to be flashed through Sp Flash tools. I did as the procedure stated. The phone worked but the IMEI gave errors and the sim card was not being detected. I managed to fix the IMEI problem, but the sim card is still undetectable.


Installing any other ROM through CWM is not working, they all have bootloops for some reason.


The stock rom which I got too needs to be installed via SP flash tools, but even though it goes smoothly on rebooting the phone the screen is grey black with hazy lines. Somone had suggested that I could replace the modem.img file with the one in the stock rom. How do I do this and what else can I do?





please assist I need android term emu command help PLEASE


i need to command my partially rooted sgs4g on kitkat 4.4.3 to simply re-enable the core app: settings.apk. .(aka: com.android.settings. )

Samsung Galaxy Tab S froze on a website and won't power down


Galaxy Tab S: Froze up while on a website. I did one hour of online chat on three separate occasions. Bottom line - hold power button, volume button and home button down simultaneously, pray and count to at least 20. I did it with the device on the charger and then not on the charger. Finally one of those times it worked. Do yourself a favor and write down the serial number and other information if you do an online chat. The numbers are smaller than the head of a pin.





Problem in wiping cache partition?


I'm a moto g first gen user on 5.0.2 and I want to clear my cache. I've done it before on kitkat, and I've had no problem. But now, I'm having a problem. After pressing the volume down and power button, I reached the list of options. Then I selected recovery. But after that, I get the moto symbol, then a black screen for 2-3 seconds, then the android logo with an exclamation mark saying "No command." The next step is to press and hold the volume up button for 10-15 seconds and then while holding, to press and release power button. But nothing's happening. I get stuck over there. On other forums I've read what people have suggested but it's basically the same thing. I tried this 6-7 times but not happening. What should I do?

Unable to use Android Device Manager to reset my Password


I recently locked my Nexus 7 (2013) having Android 5.0.2 with a password, which I forgot. I, then, thought to use Device Manager, since I've authorized it from Google Settings to make changes, such as locating and changing password.


Previously, my PIN used to get reset from ADM, but, this this time I am using a Password. Is that the reason?


This is what it says, "We successfully sent a lock request to your device."


And after that when I rejoice and feel a bit relieved, "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password that you entered won't be needed."


I am trying to override my previous password over this new password..


Screenshot is also attached! This is the error


Is there any other way of resetting the password except ADM, on Android 5.0.2, like that Google Account's credentials it used to ask on Froyo.


P.S. I've set all permissions for ADM at Google Settings on my Nexus.

Can I connect my android phone to the LAN, via an ethernet cable?


I want to connect my Galaxy S2 HD LTE SHV-120S Android version 4.0 (rooted) to the internet via a LAN connection. I am sensitive to wifi and network radiation, hence want to make a line connection and keep my phone on airplane mode. BobjGear mentions some tablets have the required settings, but no phones. I have an OTG cable, a USB LAN adapter, and a usb cable. I did not find any ethernet drivers on Google Playstore. Would CyanogenMod or Ubuntu OS have this support? If it is not possible with this phone, which phones can be configured for it?





how can I usb tether between two android phones

Switch microphone to speakerphone mic


My primary mic seems to be broken. Google Now voice search records no audio and while in call the other side can not hear me talk. Booting to safe mode does not help either.


However when I switch to speakerphone, all is working well. As far as I've read the Nexus 5 uses another mic in speaker phone mode (noise cancellation).


Is it somehow possible to always use the speakerphone mic? Since it is the only one working for me.





How do I Delete the 5.0.1 OTA Update on my Rooted Nexus 4?


A while back I rooted my phone and was pestered by the OTA 5.0.1 update that came shortly after.

Research led me to find a way to disable the event listeners that pop the notifications -- FANTASTIC! This worked for months...


Today, Snapchat decided to reboot my phone (as it regularly does) in a spectacular fashion that included a long vibration while the screen went dark.


Since my phone's come back online, the "System Update Downloaded" notification is sitting at the bottom of my notification tray; something that wasn't there before.


I've dug through my event listeners and confirmed the correct ones are still disabled, but now I'm hunting for a means to delete the downloaded update so as to remove the notification...


All my search results show the files should be .APK files in the /system/apps folder, but I have a /system/app folder -- no /apps. Another post mentioned they'd be in the /cache folder --- they are not....


Does anyone know where these OTA Updates are stored on Lollipop 5.0 so I can nuke 'em?


Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Should I switch to F2FS?


I've heard a lot of hype about Samsung's filesystem named Flash-Friendly File System (or F2FS for short). I've heard about cases where the device apparently worked faster after switching to this filesystem, and I've also heard where the filesystem didn't work well and some data got lost.


Should I switch to this filesystem? Are there really objective improvements to device's preformance, or is it just a false positive? Are there any hidden risks?

Stopping Update Notification for Lollipop on Galaxy S5


This is not so much a question, but the answer. But because I just joined, it won't let me answer this question. I kind of found a work around for this problem, as I do not want to upgrade to lollipop as I have heard of too many problems. I have MightyText installed on my PC. This provides updates to my PC for actions on my phone! So if I get an alert on my phone, it shows up on my PC. Kind of cool. When the alert came up that the software update was ready, I hit to Dismiss notification on phone. This got rid of it! I also turned off Auto Update so it didn't happen anymore. This is the only way I have found to get rid of this prompt. Hope it helps someone and can someone with a better rating than me add it to the pertinent sections for this question. Thanks Ignore update

How to insert a SIM card on a MyWigo City?


First of all, excuse me if this is not the correct site to ask this question or if it seems too stupid, but I have been struggling with that for some hours and I couldn't solve it yet.


The point is that I want to insert a SIM card to a MyWigo City (http://ift.tt/1GevU1x) but I don't know how to do it. It's a dual-SIM phone, but I can only see one slot for SIM cards. In the pictogram next to it, it says that I have to insert the SIM cards horizontally and one overlapping the other? It doesn't make any sense for me.


MyWigo City SIM card slot


I tried all possible ways I could imagine and none of them worked.

Simply put, my setting.apk must be replaced to save the phone.

i have : good full twrp recovery backup good generic flash .image (recovry can be set up once root is achieved)


Thus;


I have: good apks/apps to get root access cable free (but this can only happen when I am able to install apps from unknown sources)


I look forward to your comments


Thank you


and thanks Izzy for the suggestions





What is the best way I can simulate a custom SPP bluetooth device?


I'm working on an app that needs to connect to custom bluetooth hardware, and transmit between the two. I won't have access to the specific hardware until much later in development.


The Android phone needs to connect with SPP and the custom device will be in slave mode.


I've looked at things such as RealTerm, but it looks complicated, and I'm considering just using a second Android device to act as the slave.

custom marker blank screen on some android device [on hold]


I have implemented custom marker using google android map v2.It is running good on some device and on some device custom marker appear to be blank.Earlier when i was using default marker it was running beautifully but when i switched to default marker it started giving me problem on HTC wildfire.but still map is running good.


my custom marker xml file is below :



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://ift.tt/nIICcg"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

<TextView
android:id="@+id/markerText1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textStyle="bold"/>

<TextView
android:id="@+id/markerText2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>

<TextView
android:id="@+id/markerText3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/markerText4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/markerImage1"
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:src="@drawable/ic_action_call"
android:contentDescription="Map Info"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/markerText5"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Tap Here for more."
/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>


and i have implemented it in java file like below :


SupportMapFragment fm = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fp_map); map = fm.getMap(); if(map != null){



map.setIndoorEnabled(false);
map.setOnCameraChangeListener(getCameraChangeListener());
//add custom window here
map.setInfoWindowAdapter(new GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter() {
@Override
public View getInfoWindow(Marker marker) {
return null;
}

@Override
public View getInfoContents(Marker marker) {
View v = null;
try {
if(!marker.getTitle().equalsIgnoreCase("diff")) {
try {
v = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.info_window, null);
TextView title = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.markerText1);
TextView midMsg = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.markerText2);
TextView BelowMsg1 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.markerText3);
TextView BelowMsg2 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.markerText4);

String[] data = marker.getSnippet().split("\\|\\|");
title.setText(marker.getTitle());
midMsg.setText(data[0]);
BelowMsg1.setText("check here:" + data[2]);
BelowMsg2.setText(data[1] + "check here also");
return v;
} catch (Exception e) {
String error = e.getMessage();
}
} else {
return null; //so that normal view can be generted.
}
} catch (Exception e){
String error1 = e.getMessage();
return null;
}
return v;
}
});


}


finally i add marker like below :



BitmapDescriptor loaded_icon;
loaded_icon = BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.smiley_f);
map.addMarker((new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(data[1]), Double.parseDouble(data[2])))
.title(data[0])
.snippet(data[5] + "||" + data[6] + "||" + data[7])
.icon(loaded_icon)))
.showInfoWindow();


the above add marker code is in loop so different marker can be shown to user.Now my problem is for many user it is working like great but for some phone (Ex. HTC WILDFIRE) it is giving blank screen as marker with image which i mentioned in xml file.


I also get below error, not sure if it related to above problem or not. This error start coming way before opening page of map.

Virus Infected Android Device Huawei Y600 cleaned but cant see folders


Recently I tried to copy some document to my android from a computer which was infected with virus (the virus which turns everything into many shortcuts). I cleaned it up by using Bitdefender which is on my computer.


Now the problem is: when I connect my Android device to the PC in data transfer mode, I see nothing but some files name as mac address just numbers and words, but when I browse on the Android device itself using file manager I see all the folders there for example DCIM , Download, movies, etc.



The question is: Why can I not see any files/directories when I connect my Android device to my PC using an USB cable, chosing data transfer mode?



Please note that I formatted my Androiddevice both ways – first the basic format, and when it did not solve the problem I did the factory-reset via recovery. Still the problem is there. My friend who is in some other country is experiencing the same problems because I guess my virus has transferred because we are always transferring files to each other.





Developing android os


I want to get started working with android (not apps for it but with the OS) and I wanted to know where I can find something like a book that explains how it works.

Thanks.





Prevent or Mute "Device Location Shared" notification from showing


Starting yesterday (March 23 2015) whenever I access Android Device Manager page I get a notification prompt on my phone saying:


"Device location shared. Android Device Manager located this device"


I really don't want this to show up. In case someone steals my phone, I don't want them to know I know where they are located.


I don't want to know other alternative apps to do this (as I already have airdroid which I can use to do this) I just want to be able to mute this notification.


Does anybody knows how to mute this notification





must install settings.apk on android 4.4.3 no root no usb cant get into recovery (i have backup files)


this is a fun one , i am curious what you all will throw at me


galaxy s 4g aka. sgh-t959v linarokat kk 4.4.3 omni rom has ...or had TWRP 2.7.1.1 INIMlt 3.0 or something or other kernal


previously on beanstalk 4.4.2 which was crazy good but all the options turned me too tweak happy ... prior to that twas slimsaber...4.4.2 and it is where i would love to get back ... but just obtaining one thing at a time for now,, ...THUS I MUST INSTALL SETTINGS.APK (unless theres a better idea)


info:


-i have full TWRP Backup ready if / when its again possible




  • as stated the usb hub /micro hub is not an option (been bad for a year)




  • i am ready to resett if needed... no problem




  • i can not get into recovery cause its missing it on startup and even booting from os shutdown chosing recovery reboot option just gets it stuck after bootloader




  • i have my rom zips ready for reflashing




i have all i will need once rooted to obtain recovery twrp at boot via apk app



  • no settings app active/runnng/enabled , ... i am not seeing that my com.android.settings service is running and i double checked and it is uninstalled or disabled.....it is the only apk not installed/running/enabled.... remember we are talking about settings.apk... supposed to be next to settingsstorage.apk in the /system/priv-app - location...which honestly the apk is physically there but corrupt and i can not replace it seeing how i have no root privilages


-i cant even see if my debugging is set correctly due to no access to settings menus




  • i cant seem to install any third party "unkown" apps so i assume that my unknown is not checked in the dev. setting to ok those sources ( this is pulling me down cause i have apks lined up for tools and i can not install any




  • when attempting to double click an apk directly it just kills whatever app i am in at that time




  • any attempt to use another switch which would normally push you into a settings menu just doesnt pull a menu. eg., if i touch and hold brightness to call the menu it just has foreground drop without the backround ever appearing for the menu as it normally would




hope this isnt too much for you... but its kind of fun to see who has some ideas..


i am hoping someone just says - hey buddy why not just _____ .... that would be funny


i look forward to any response ... nothing is too small nor too big ... so bring it people


thanks
