Thanks! I was able to make that work. Appreciate the help.

I rooted, just the Magisk patched boot image, nothing more. Installed adaway, which is the reason for rooting. I marked Google Pay as hidden in Magisk hide. That was all it took on the OG Pixel XL. Not so with the 4 XL. Any thoughts on how to get Google Pay to step in line?

Man, if it weren't for the guys on this forum, I would just be some old fat dude with a smartphone. Now, I can be an old fat dude with a smart phone and no ads. Innit great?

Applied!

This worked for me even after I blindly installed 10 through my usual update method. Root works, ad away works. Thanks to the OP for the guide!

I have a similar issue. I have updated platform-tools and still get the unbootable issue with Magisk. I installed the latest factory firmware and didn't erase -w so it is a fresh install. I do want to use the TWRP recovery, so I sideload that first and then side load Magisk-18.1.zip and it has...

I was referring to your language mostly. Although a quick google search will tell you there is no root after 4.4.4. So, you bought a phone (for much less than most paid for it) and its on you that you didn't know it couldn't be rooted. Acting like an entitled punk gets you nowhere with the red...

If my 14 year old acted like that, he'd soon find himself sans cellphone...or social life for the foreseeable future.

If it were perfectly flat, the landing impulse would have spread across the entire area. This would significantly reduce stress concentrations and more than likely not have surpassed the material's ultimate failure stress. Brittle materials, such as the tempered glass used in phone screens...

I believe what you are referring to is the date the OS package was complied from source. My build date says April 30 of 2014, which is impossible because I bought the phone last August (I think). At any rate I have owned the phone since the last quarter of 2013 at least. Sent from my XT1080...

Probably program tasker to do that. However, telemarketers are usually never allowed to hang up on you, so they are a great place to vent all your frustrations about the whole situation that's been escalating between Scotland and Belize. I know that one has me really worried. If they go to war...

So, why doesn't the big V or Moto just offer it for a nominal fee? You have to sign all the typical waivers and give up your first born and such, then you can root your device. Sounds like the difference between a developer edition and a normal one is just a pool of numbers that are reserved for...

Google keyboard. Its updated and is all grayscale Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

When I type don't the spell checker inserts Dont. I have tried to clear personal dictionary and looked for other possible ways to get the proper correction. Any ideas? Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

The applications which are shown on active notifications are selectable. Simply turn gmail notifications off if the repeated flashing is bothersome Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I would like advice on where to find live wallpapers other than the ones on the Maxx. I like phase beam, but it seems there is much more potential than it. A Google search turned up very little. So, what are your favorites and would you mind sharing a link? Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium...

About any app has it skewed. Google maps and Ingress are both equally off. Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

My Maxx is not at all accurate with its compass function. I thought it would be better because the old RAZR maxx was the same way. Its off about 45° toward the right. Is there any cure or calibration procedure? Thanks. Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Mine is a heavy tank too. Very impressed with it so far. IIRC that's from "Snatch" Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I used ICS Browser + from play store on the RAZR Maxx. Havent tried it on this phone though. It may be what you are looking for...?

I miss smart actions the most. I have read that Tasker will work in it's stead, however, the wife doesn't seem to agree when she gets jolted awake at 2:30 am from an email notification. I also don't care for the locked in place Google search bar. I hate that thing. Especially right at the top...

Thanks for the suggestion, however, it doesn't work. Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium

I have seen some custom roms that put a smiley button on the keyboard when in the SMS app. Is there a way to make this happen on a rooted stock rom? Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium

Yes, check the charger. I had a device that plugged into the wall and simulated a car charging port and could use a car charger on the wall. It made my touch screen go haywire. Since the basic jest of a capacitive touch screen is using minute static charges in your fingers (or what ever other...

I'd like that too. I can't ever seem to find a from that hasn't been over done. Just want a plain vanilla ICS rom. Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium

I'd like to figure out how to get it not to dim when plugged in and charging. My EVO would stay on full brightness while charging, the Sensation and Max still dim. It doesn't sleep fully, just dims to being unreadable in a bright room. I do have the development option to not sleep while charging...

I froze some of the bloat, but unfroze it and the OTA won't work. I have been trying several approaches, but am at the point of using RSD to flask back to the first rom and OTA up to current. Lots of work, little time. Is there a better solution? Thanks

Well, the folders are media>Music and media>audio. I try both solutions, thanks. Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium

It seems I can not figure out how to keep Google Music (GM) from playing all my ringtones and notifications. Now, because I downloaded the 640+ 7z file that's floating around here on XDA (thanks BTW) it can go for several minutes playing various beeps and whistles. So, I guess I am looking for...

I went with the Otterbox outrageously priced model, as opposed to the priced at the GDP of a third world country model. My reasoning is because I use an IQ Solutions mount in the car and on my motorcycle. It can be seen here. (clicky) Therefore, the rubber inside of the case serves as some...

This thread will be funny when ICS does roll out because, at that point people will start forum warrioring about not having jellyroll or what ever the next iteration is going to be called. I can't wait until "I'm pissed at Motorola because Samsung put anti gravitational levitation on the...

No joy, I tried. Do you happen to know if that depends on any apk's I may have frozen? I only froze bloat apps though. Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium

I went to Best Buy to get a screen guard. All they had was Zagg. $21 for a stupid piece of vinyl sign film. Seriously? When my ex worked at a sign printing outfit, I used to have the guy make up screen guards from clear sign vinyl which were cut out with a CNC cutter and fit perfect. He could...

Firstly, I have an exchange server that I hook into for one of my email accounts. I am leery about using it because the phone plan says its an extra $10 to use exchange. Is this true, and if so is there a workaround for it similar to the wifi tether? Also since I am a verzion noob, I have found...

F18 carrier landing ( the lite version) works well, but is really easy compared to landing a 12 ton brick flying at 235 kts on a moving postage stamp. Infinite Black is working well even though its still in beta. Its pretty cool, recommended. I am in the process of downloading the files for...

Was able to alleviate it with an app called...color blindness. This phone could be pink and I wouldn't know. Envy me. Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium

HEY! How did you get to be mom's favorite? 100ft? Who did you have to bribe to get all that range? Gosh! Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

Can't you go to market on your computer (not the phone app) and remove old devices from your list? I remember needing to do this to get, IIRC, google voice to work correctly with my new phone at the time. I imagine I will have to do the same tonight when the Droid comes in the Fed up truck...

No, they went to tiered data so they can bill the end user for more money while instilling the belief that people are using too much data and they can't support it. It reminds me of the early 80s when the gas prices climbed to .75¢ a gallon and the gloom and doom prophets said the outrageous...

"Considering that a phone like the Sensation can’t run Sense 4 smoothly, it’s better this way." Translation: We can't figure out a way to cram all the excessive bloatware that third party vendors pay us overtly insane amounts of money to stuff down your throat on older devices that don't have...

Yes, but if you turn that on, it tends to break some apps and widgets. It sounds ultra nifty, because, you know, GPUs are vastly superior to ordinary PUs (Like CPUs and Abaci or abacuses...or abacum..) but it will crash some apps that aren't made to run on the higher level of enlightenment. Lots...

I think I know that CSR: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23313395&postcount=4 :D:D:D

I had it up until about 17 minutes from now. I went into the T-mo store today, and got told that it isn't their problem "since the phone still works." So, I asked if they went into a restaurant and ordered the most expensive steak they had, and it turned out to be a $299 dollar steak (for which...

I have a couple ideas about this. For the first one, at least for me, its T-Mobile. I finally called them a couple days ago and told them I was ready to jump ship after I had consulted a lawyer about my chances of getting my ETF back in small claims court. Now my data off the HSDPA is much...

While I am not an electronics genius by any measure, I do have a rudimentary understanding of wavelengths and the effects of antenna length on reception. I can look up the formulas and figure out from the frequencies what the half wave length of the antenna needs to be. Its a long and arduous...

I am not sure if this has been covered yet or not, and I am not keen on reading 143 pages of replies... I recently got dust under my screen. Never had it until I got rid of my elcheapo case protector. So, being an Aerospace Engineering major, I decided to look into the problem with an...

Advanced power control I used this rom a lot, was the best gingerbread rom I ever had. I do miss the power controls that allowed bluetooth, wifi and what not to be turned off and on by the charging state. IIRC it was part of the power controls widget. I have looked high and low for this, even...

I have the stock tmo rom from einherjar which has been rooted, and I used a sense stripper apk to make it perfect. My only complaint is that the gmail app has the terribly annoying habit of the back key going through the entire history of every email I looked at in the current session, instead...

Why is my data so slow when not on 4g? I could be better off using a 2800 baud rate modem if I had an old school phone receiver that would press down into one. Also, how do I keep the screen from dimming when on the charger? The setting in development only keeps it from turning off. On my Evo...
