New Note 5 Owner Here

Y'all are looking at the owner of a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 5 64 GB in the black. After spending about 4 hours with it I've come to really love this phone. I am coming from spending almost 2 years of a great experience with Windows Phones and if it wasn't for "Big Red" being the only carrier that works at my family's cabin I would probably switch to AT&T to stick with a Windows phone. Unfortunately that left me with 2 choices go to an iPhone which was alright for me in the past or go to an android phone which I have had bad experiences with in the past (note 2, Droid razr m, stratosphere ). Well I chose the Note 5 to try to change my experience with android devices and so far I'm glad I did. Even though if it wasn't for me dropping my Lumia Icon 25 feet onto the ground while hanging a treestand the other day I would still be using it instead of this brand new Note 5.

5 day N6 owner - my first monthly flash

Got my N6 from the Amazon sale. As the LMY48M factory image has just been posted, I want to make sure I do this right and not lose my data/settings since it's my first time.

Phone is XT1103. Unlocked 64 gig (non carrier/branded) but using a VZW Sim. Bootloader unlocked, rooted but still encrypted. Running TWRP-2.8.7.1. On LMY48I currently.

Are these the only commands I need to execute to update but not lose the data/settings (actual IMG file names taken from the 48M image)?

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.10.img
fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.101.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Am I missing anything? I believe after I do this I will have lost root but I'll use CF-Root to get it back.

Thanks

A few questions from a new P7000 owner!

I received my P7000 yesterday to replace my LG G3 that I left in a puddle...loving it so far. Just have a few questions that I'm sure won't be difficult for people to answer but are bugging me!

- How do you change the lockscreen wallpaper? I really don't like the default one
- Is it possible to use fingerprint as the lockscreen but have things like Spotify controls on there? I like being able to do that in my car without having to unlock. Using a simple swipe lock gives me Spotify controls but it disappears when I set it as fingerprint.
- On my LG G3, there was a button on the home screen that took me to a list of open apps which I could swipe to the side to close. I'm guessing it was a Lollipop thing rather than G3 - how do I access it on the P7000?

Thanks!

How to sync or add photo on Android 5.1.1 on Owner account/user

Hello,
I'm using CM12.1 on my OnePlus One, I have Google and CM accounts synced with my phone, but somehow image as the Owner user is still the default as if there isn't any photo. I'm uploadijg a screenshot to let you understand better.

Is there a way to sync or add a photo to user account?

Thank you very much! :)

a posiable new Z3 owner :D !!

i'm and Xperia Z owner i have had it since 2,5 years and one month ago i lost it due to water damage "somehow"

i sent it to the service center and they told me after 3 weeks of checking that the water got inside the phone and damaged the motherboard of it and it will take almost the same price as a new phone to fix it .
so now i have to buy a new phone unfortunately...

the Xperia Z was such a great phone for me all was great (except the low voice ) and now i'm in dilemma shall i go for Sony again or shall i change ? i'm disappointed of the new versions of sony Z3 Z3+ they have no such differences of the Z2 however the Z3+ has less flaps so more comfortable to use and less damageable i hate Samsung tho they have a great S6 edge but hell no for the touchwiz maybe Htc m9 ?

what do you think guys any experiences you want to share with me ?

New Nexus 6 owner!

Hi all! I am a proud owner of a new (to me!) Nexus 6, on Verizon! Yay!! I love it.

Anyway, I have a question about it. As soon as I factory reset and started the phone, I got an update message. I would like to know if the development community recommends whether I take this update, as in will it affect my being able to root, unlock, what have you.

Attached is a screenshot of my 'About Phone' screen, with android version displayed.

Also attached is a screenshot of the update message, maybe someone can inform me what this update is, and whether taking it will prevent me from rooting or unlocking the phone.

Thanks!

Shane
