My s5 crashes unpredictably. LineageOS 14.1 doesn't seem to have pstore enabled, so there is no last_kmsg. I got this script instead and ran it under Termux: #!/bin/sh dir=/path/to/storage # Location of persistent storage [[ -z "$dir/count" ]] && echo 0...

The device is currently running 4.4.2 (I downgraded to run towelroot, and want to achieve this without tripping knox) Do I have to upgrade to stock Marshmellow, and then use flashfire to install LOS 14? Many thanks. Never mind, it worked the next time I tried it, but don't understand why...

I'm running CM 13 on a HTC Desire A9191. I wanted to remove the SD card, but when it boots up again the phone says 'Encryption unsuccessful'. It works again if I put the card back in and reboot the phone. When I go to Storage and USB under settings, there is no option to select SD card. If I...

I want to install Lineage on my SM-G900F, but I'm concerned about it crashing all the time. I'm an agency worker, who works in a different place from day to day, and no working mobile means I get no work and no pay. I'm aware that S5 is an older device, and sometimes they get less attention and...

Hi. I'd really like to use Whatsapp Web on my PC... but I can't get it to work with Disa, the unified messaging app I use on my phone. How do I make them both work at the same time?

When casting the screen from Chrome in Windows 7, the receiving chromecast stutters, and drops frames. When it casts a tab directly, it is very smooth, has no problems at all. Why is this? Is there any way to get that same smooth performance while casting the whole screen, while maintaining the...

My screen stopped working. I'd like to flash a new rom to see if I can eliminate software issues before I go buying a new screen. USB debugging is currently turned on. Of course if I flash stock it will be turned off! I will be locked out. What ROMs have USB debugging turned on by default? As...

Hi. I want Xposed on Touchwiz. I am currently running lollipop. At the moment the ROM I have is using ART. I need to change it to dalvik. Can I acheive this by some tool, to deodex this rom and change my runtime to dalvik? Or do I have to install a new rom which is deodexed? Will I have to...

I have a rooted s5 with lollipop 5.0. I managed to root it without tripping Knox by downgrading and using towelroot, then using mobile Odin to install a rooted version of lollipop. I followed the guide here here Is there a similar sneaky way I can install xposed without tripping Knox? If I do...

Hi, I did google around this subject, but unfortunately that just left me very confused! I need to enable band 3 LTE on my Nexus 4. I am running Android 4.4.2, rooted and all that. I have to stay on this version because I can't manage to share the VPN connection when tethering on other...

Edit: forgot to add: Android 4.4.4, stock, rooted. Probably not relevant, but it's a Nexus 4. Hi, My phone is connected to a VPN via Openvpn for Android (the stock android vpn didn't seem to work). My laptop is tethered to my phone. My phone is definitely connected to the VPN: checking my...

My phone, not damaged in any way I know, has suddenly developed a touchscreen problem. There is a 2cm thick band across the middle of the screen which no longer responds to touch. Do I need to take it to the phone doctor, or are there some software issues I can eliminate first? Thanks.

Is there any way to disable the 'ding' sound google voice typing makes when you press the microphone? Also I would like it to just keep going till I tell it to stop, not time out after a few seconds. Also can I disable the camera sound? I know you can do it by turning the sound off completely...

I'm a good user who follows the rules, washes behind his ears, and always does a forum search and google search before asking his question. I need to know what ROM/kernel combination (or whatever other settings) will give me the most battery life. The most common answer on other threads has...

Hi I have found one or two apps that allow you to execute Unix/Linux commands, such as renaming a batch of files. However, what I'd like to do is schedule these commands so I don't have to run them manually. Basically I want cron, but on my android phone. What app should I use to do this...

Hi there. I want to set Whatsapp as default messaging. I go to Settings > Wireless & Networking, > default SMS app. It only gives me the choice of Hangouts or Messaging. What gives? Rooted stock 4.4, Nexus 4.

I rebooted my device about 15 mins ago, and it randomly told me it was updating, to my dismay. Now it has installed 1.2.0 firmware on my phone (had 1.1.0 before) and all my system/apps have been deleted, all apps which need root no longer work. I read now that I can prevent this in future by...

Hi! I want to be able to edit word documents on my rooted NST. I am using Kingsoft Office, which is free, but unfortunately it's rather choppy and not a smooth writing experience. Olive Office was even worse. Documents to go has a pro version where you can edit docx files for £10. Before I...

Hi, First of all, don't be cross if this has been asked before. Your search isn't working today :) I'm looking for a lightweight office app. I've tried Kingsoft Office, which is very nice, but seems to take up a lot of juice and runs a bit slow. I am using Swype, which also chews up a lot, so...

Hi, I love the jelly bean keyboard's word suggestions and gesture typing. However, when I tried to install it via adb, adb told me 'failure install failed older sdk'. Can I get this keyboard on my rooted NST? Or any keyboard with gesture typing? Many thanks.

Hi, First of all let me say thanks to whoever first rooted the NST. It simply rocks. Also, XDA's introductory video made me laugh and scared at the same time. I'm trying to install an apk which is not available through Google Play/Android Market. I go to the .apk in ES File Explorer, but it...
