New the the nexus 6 questions?

So I bought a nexus off my friend today. It's the At&t variant running Android 6.0. I really can't find a definitive answer around, maybe I'm just stupid. But is there a way to root Android 6 and bring it down to Lollipop since marshmallow seems really buggy. Thank you in advance.

Questions about the new updates on Z Ultra!

Hello,

I bought a Z Ultra 2 days ago. After I activated it I have been prompted with 2 notifications: 1 that was asking me to update to the latest android and one that was asking me to update for the latest Xperia software update. First, I did the update for Android. Second, I did the update for Xperia software. My first question is: I did good by updating both - or I should've updated only the Android and not also the Xperia software? One of them changed the looks of my homescreen, the size of icons and not only, but I am not sure which one.

I am thinking of making a reset to factory settings and to do only the Android update and forget about the Xperia update. Would it be ok to do that? Which one changed the looks of my phone?

Thank you.

Questions on unbricking my S5

Last night my battery got down to 5% or so and out of the blue my phone restarted and ended up in basically a boot loop (It would let me use it for about 1 minute before rebooting). I tried everything I could think of and eventually gave up and did a hard reset. Now I can't get it to go past the Verizon logo.

I guess the next step is to re-load the software via Odin, but wanted to double check before I broke something because I am on OE1 rooted via Munoz's thread.

Best I can tell I need to load the NCG complete and then use flashfire to upgrade to OG5. Correct?

Thanks for the help.

First time root - few questions

It's finally time for me to do what every XDA user done already - root my phone and use another ROM. I haven't ever before done this that's why I'm very excited.

I'm trying to follow this noob-friendly guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2213910 . I read it like ten times already, but I still have some questions.
1. I want to have a CM rom. Should I get Lloir's CM 12.1 or the official CM 11? The thing is, I won't be able to get another rom for almost a year and I want a quite stable rom.
2. I guess I should install the latest TWRP 2.8 recovery from this forums, am I right? But then, why on the official CM download page there is a separate "Cyanogen Recovery" file?
3. According to the tutorial, I should install SuperSu, is this the right version?
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/
4. The thing I'm worried about mostly - my digitizer is damaged and I sometimes get "phantom touches", I can't tap anything on screen, the only solution is screen off & on. What if phantom touches appear when I'm in recovery? From what I read most things are controlled by physical buttons (which work), but not all, some requires to swipe. What then? Can I turn the screen off or abort the process and start again?

Thanks in advance for every reply. :)

Questions about Nexus 6 on Verizon

Hey folks,

I'm wondering with all the recent monthly builds that Google has been releasing, what build # my Verizon Nexus 6 should be on. Currently, it's on LMY48M but it's been acting really strange. Text messages won't always go through, sometimes half of my wallpaper disappears, and the phone's settings don't always work.

By phone settings, I mean I'll be in a setting page like accounts, trying to change the sync settings for my accounts and it won't let me choose a specific account to manage the sync settings. It's weird.
I'm not sure what's happening, or if it's just the build # that's wrong. I'm also rooted and unlocked, but using stock kernel and stock build.

My Nexus 6 is unlocked and rooted using WugFresh Toolkit, and I bought the device straight from Google about a year ago.

Thanks!

P.S. If anyone knows what I can do, Enhanced 4G LTE does not work on my phone at all. People cannot hear me, and calls are dropped all the time. I've had to turn that off. Any suggestions on how to get that working would be greatly appreciated too! I'm not sure if this is related to my radios or not.

Many thanks folks.

Questions about the Turbo Charger included in the box and FM Radio

In AUS, Vodafone (exclusive retailer) includes the TurboPower 15 charger inside the box instead of the 25. Can you guys from other regions (US/UK/EU/IN/etc) confirm if you only received the Turbo Power 15 or the Turbo Power 25 included in the box along with the phone?

I did read something about FM Radio being supported and available for the device. I don't want to get into a debate of "who uses FM radio in this era?". Just want another confirmation if any other region's Moto X Style (Pure) '15 includes/supports FM Radio.

Sidds

Questions on Root / Recovery & Kernel

Hello there!

I'm new to the Samsung's world so I have few questions I hope someone can answer. :D

1, I am a fan of stock kernel and I noticed TWRP has a recovery and there is a No root method mentioned using Odin.
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys6edgeplus.html
So if I flash this recovery and flash the SU will the device boot? So do I need the custom kernel to get the phone booted with custom recovery?

2, I hear we will trip the Knox in the process of root. Do I lose Knox functionality? Since I use Knox for my company apps I would like to know if I would lose that functionality ?

Questions on GPS and cell reception.

Have had the note 2, note 3, and note 4. Recently gave up on the note 4 because of the camera having focusing issues and the GPS losing signal constantly. Went to the lg g4 because of the camera being amazing and the GPS actually working and staying locked for an entire 90 minute trip. Reception with the note 4 was also garbage. The lg g4 pulls T-Mobile in with no problem. Kind of missing the note format and haven't seen any reviews talk about GPS and cell reception. So those that have the note 5 can you chime in on the above mentioned points?

note 4, facebook and some other questions

as i was considering the note 4 and contemplating between note 4 and lg [i think it was] g4, i had the problem with deciding becoz of one has fb on it, the other one no pen. [my carrier is t-mobile, although not in the us, i sit in the eu, but i don't think there are too many differences, hopefully]
which leads me to my problem.

1/ if i turn on the phone without sim or anything inside, and disable the apps i don't need/want, will they go dead, or will in the case of fb happen this:
[there would have been some links from android central where is described that fb-app updates itself outside of play even when disabled. that this is some kind of security issue, and that they told google about it, also fb about that, with the answer live with it or change your phone. they also told samsung about it. and that there is a samsung usa ticket for that: 2135760316 [that post is from 05-13-2015, 11:32 AM, by kelly kearns]. as it is impossible to post links, that's the only way i can put it here somehow]

so basically, there is no way to get rid of this useless thing, if i understand it correctly? and i have to accept, that even if disabled, it will still enable itself and update? therefore, next point ... if there is no account of that junk, does it still try to get every thing on the phone because of the permissions it has been granted, even if it is disabled?
therefore², if i disable an app, does that mean, its basically dead i.e. doesn't do anything compared to being enabled? or what does disable exactly mean?
[um, yes, i totally dislike fb, therefore ... you get my point]
1.1/ in one of the copied links above [or was it somewhere else] someone said something about an app that freezes other apps or something like that. might that have the desired effect for me?
1.2/ after putting in the sim and signing in to google ... what will that disabled fb do? or is it basically as said in the screenshot of that conversation ... you not liek, take other phone? [who are they? god? .... oh ... wait, actually ... given the ties to nsa ... nevermind]

2/ as this is my second android phone, so, if i add the google account on that phone, it copies every thing that's stored on the old one to the new one. but ... wot exactly happens with the apps it copies? are they still the same version as on the old phone or during the copying are they being updated? i'm asking, coz there are some i don't want to be updated, tune in for example [as i don't like the added social something and wotever came after my version]. or stays the app the same and i have to update it myself?
2.1/ regarding copying ... wot happens with my sms and call logs? and, can i decide what i want to be copied or is there no option of choice?
2.2/ same goes with the games i copy ... like the doctor who one from tiny rebel games. do i lose the current point where i am or not?

3/ is there any way to port or copy the s note from note 2 also over to note 4, or any chance to find the apk of it somewhere? it's just, that the note 4 version doesn't do idea note and sketch any longer, as those are the two templates i used most, as it is.

tnx a lot in forward for answering my questions,
meh

Some questions about Z5

So, my question are basicly

Looking at the camera shutter and focus speed, like in G2 ,,Sport Mode'' is way darker, because the shutter and focus speed is way faster then normal mode.
Does it means, that in low light situation the Z5 Premium will be also dark and the only think to make clear and crispy night photos is to focus like 2-3 seconds to do a decent shot?


Manual settings
Looking at LG G4 the photos with manual focus are incredible, looking at todays technologies. So what about Z5 ? Will they support Camera2 Api? Will it be with manual mode to? Or just modes that Z5 will give it to us?


What you guys opinion about this phone? After Christmas I will look at new one, and this beast is in my eyes not as Number 1 .

Questions about editing build.prop because of ram management

Hey all,

I'm really starting to get tired of the terrible ram management on the s6. A few months ago I read about editing build . prop. So, I'm planning on doing this, but I've got a few questions first:

-is it still effective after the 5.1.1 update?
-is there a better "fix"?

Also, I've read somewhere that changing dha to fha has a better result. Can anyone confirm this and explain how to do this?

Thanks guys!

Few questions about Temasek's CM12.1

Hi,

I have few questions about Temasek's CM12.1 Build V.

Now i have the latest rom released on 5th of August. I am struggling to find a way to use Camera FV-5 because i have no control over exposure (it just stays and does not take pictures) and Cinema FV-5 works just fantastic . On my Galaxy s4 with stock room both apps work perfectly. I bought this app because I have been told it is great for taking pictures and yes on my S4 i like them so far even thought i am not a great photographer.

I s this a known issue or I am missing something. BTW i know CM has problems with camera

AFTV Questions

Hi I own several Fire TV’s and Fire Tv Sticks and here are some questions which I need help with

I cannot send Bluetooth audio from AFTV Stick to a Bluetooth headphones or Bluetooth receiver, using the settings.apk file it says successfully paired but I don’t get any audio.

AFTV box runs really slowly, when Kodi installation is large - it seems to be growing the more I use it! - Only way to speed the box up is to wipe Kodi data. Everything goes really slow on the box even if Kodi is not running. You tips to help improve performance and speed?

How to get a say a Kodi backup file onto the fire stick? I can use drop box but I can’t control the mouse properly to export the file to the stick, due to the file size (1.4GB) I can’t push it via AGK either it just failed after a 300 MB. I haven’t tried ADB yet what do you suggest?

How to perform a long left mouse click on the official Amazon mouse apps, to select things on the screen? Such as to remove unwanted items on the KK launcher?

Has anyone had any success connecting a Bluetooth mouse to the Fire Stick? Again using the settings.apk file?

THE KODI IVUE TV add-on schedule won’t update when Aeon NOX MK6 is on, I have to revert back to a standard skin, quit Kodi, go back in and update schedule and then change the skin back to Aeon NOX MQ6 anyone else having this issue in Kodi using this skin type?
