You might think that after 10-ish years of using Android, I'd know this... How do I find the developer name of a specific app in Oreo? I don't see it in Settings > Apps > (app name), or in the app's setting under About. The only way I've found in general, is long press in the app icon the tap...

By rootable, I mean that there is currently a working root method, as opposed to possibly finding a root method in the future. I am under the impression that there is no root method for builds S4xxxx or S5xxxx. I'm currently on S5CRF6, so I think that boat has left the station. And I'm okay with...

Are these latest builds rootable? I just got a prompt to update to CRG6 and says I can't down grade once it's installed. It's a N950U1 on Verizon. Thanks.

What version were you on before regressing? I just updated from 5.8.2 (128) to 5.8.3 (129). A few days ago, when I updated to 5.8.2, I it running slow and killing the battery. I also noticed that the network IO was active, literally, 99% of the time. I installed an app called Glasswire. I shows...

Where exactly? I don't see anything to turn off bloatware. If you sign up for Premium, one can turn off ads. Does that include bloatware? I looked at permissions in the app manager and didn't see anything for network access. And without net access, I think the AI can't work, so no assistant...

I had the same problem. For clean up purposes, I'd deleted everything in the EFS directory. Then I used TWRP to wipe the cache and dalvik partitions. When I went to re-register my fingerprints, it did not recognize my fingerprints, or backup password., even though I'd just unlock the phone with...

I'll give it a try! May I have a promo code please? Thanks!

On the Positions screen, icons on the top are pushed to the right. Icons on the bottom are pushed to the left. Icon in the center are centered on the status bar. Within those position groups, the icons are ordered same order on the Positions screen. Say you have the follow icons in this order on...

Yes, I shall! First, Network Speed is a paid feature. fig1. Tap Network Speed, fig2. Switch Use Threshold on. Set Value to zero. Finally, tap Block Constructors. fig3. Tap Used. fig4. Drag the number to the top and drop it. When you start to drag, the top area will say something like...

I searched this thread, but couldn't find it, so I thought I'd put what I found. I don't know...it may obvious, but here it goes. I wanted to show only up/down arrows for network activity, i.e. speed without values. I found I could make the labels arrows. Then I realized if I drag the digits off...

You should be able to find a Note 4 pretty cheap these days. Check Ebay, Craig's list, Groupon, and deal sites. Good luck.

I thought I was going crazy! I thought I'd entered my pass code wrong when setting it, then again for confirmation. I'm glad there is a fix. I'd like to use Android Pay and one has to set a pass code for that. Q: Does Modest_Rom_v8 fix this? And what do I need to flash on post #3 to get the...

Magisk? I tried to install Magisk with this ROM, but it disabled Xposed. There is a systemless Xposed modual for Magisk. When I tried that everything got very unstable. Is it possible to uninstall Xposed if it's baked in? Is there a flash to remove Xposed , sort of like Remove 3MinitBattery? I...

To transfer apps and data to another phone with Helium. This is how I did it to move from a rooted GN4, to a stock GN3. tl;dr 1) Backup up your old phone to the PC using the Helium web interface. 2) Make sure the new phone's USB configuration is set to "Audio Storage." 3) Pair it with the PC...

Thanks! I got all the files from around the web. I misread where it say to get the latest version of the drivers as get the latest version of the files. Thanks again.

Q: I'm trying to use Samsung Smart Switch to migrate to my newly rooted GN4. But when I start it, it say the signing keys don't match. I this because I'm using CM13? Is there away around this? Thanks!

After trying many time with an other method, I rooted successfully the first time through. I had only two problems: 1) I had was my phone didn't show up in File Explorer, so I ADB to push CM13, gapps, and xpose to my phone. After that, I install them with TWRP as instructed. 2) When I was done...

Check the IMEI (Settings -> About Phone -> Status). If it's not there, restore you phone. I thought I'd turn my Note in a wifi tablet that is too small. My phone lost the IEMI and a few other important numbers. I learned that flashing can corrupt the /efs partition, where these numbers are...

That went about as smooth as possible. I put my SIM in the phone this time. I had to use the *#0808# secret menu right after flashing the systemonly ROM, to change the USB mode to MPT and ADB. My phone was visible and I was able to download oscar and SuperSU directly to my phone. Then I...

The latest: I did try to adb push the files. They were copied. I installed them, but when I reboot, it got stuck again. I googled for n910v not showing up in file explorer, and found a post about some secrete codes to try: *#0808# or ##366633#. These will get you to setting for USB. They said to...

I'm having the same problem. I reinstalled the Samsung USB drivers and went through the process again. I was absolutely sure NOT to install SuperSU in TWRP. Still File Explorer did not see the phone. I wiped the phone, swapped cables, restarted FE. I tried booting into safe mode. I even went to...

I tried again last night and YES I did install SuperSU when TWRP prompted me! Most of the time, sliding is the first thing. I didn't pay attentions and realized after, sliding is to confirm. I tried reflashing the systemonly ROM and was able to copy and install the kernel and SuperSU. But it...

Man! Thank you SO much for your help! You're going way above and beyond! Yes, everything is Verizon, but I DID get the phone on Craig's List. The home button wasn't working so I had to do some surgery. I got a replacement home button and intalled it (wasn't as hard as I anticipated). It still...

Yeah, that's what I did. I've made several attempt. I don't think it's possible, but if SuperSU that I install according to the instruction, was still there when I tried again, would that cause a boot loop? I did factory wipe. I even had to go through the set up before this last attempt. Also...

I'm almost there, but I'm stuck. After flashing the systemonly ROM. The phone wasn't showing up in File Explorer, so I couldn't copy the Oscar kernel and SuperSU zips. Instead, I put an SD card in computer and copied them to there. Then I put the card in the phone and used TWRP to install them...

If you can get to the keyboard settings, there may be an option for 4 or 5 row kbd. If not, look at "About" and see what keyboard/version it actually is. Check the Play store for the one you used to have.

I flashed the full 5.0.1 ROM and the IMEI data was fine. I did loose root, but I can do that again. I applied the upgrade to 5.1.1, so this time I think the IMEI should be fine. So flashing the systemonly for 5.1.1 over 5.0.1 was preventing the phone recognizing data in the /efs partition, but...

So, I installed a phone info app. It says my bootloader and baseband are BOG5 and my PDA version is BPA1/BPA1a and build is BPA1. In setting I went straight to Status so I never noticed this info in About Phone. So I want to flash the full 5.0.1, BOG5. I think my IMEI problems will be fixed...

Regarding flashing the full ROM: Before root, I had 5.0.1, build BOG5. After, I have 5.1.1, build BPA1, system only. Should I flash the full ROM for BOG5, or BPA1? I wonder if I lost the IMEI because I rooted with a 5.1.1 ROM and a different /efs partition was expected. Flashing the full 5.0.1...

Thanks! I poked around the /efs directory and there isn't anything that looks bad. I mean. it could be something that didn't effect the text files there, and I have no idea how much corruption to expect, given whats missing. and there are binary files too. I'm not going to mess with /efs at...

From what I read, this data is stored in the EFS partition. Apparently, flashing ROMs can corrupt that partition. If one has a backup, restoring it is easy. I don't. I think even if I knew should back it up, I probably wouldn't have until later in the process, likely after when I lost that data...

Success! I am rooted! I was able to move my apps and necessary data data from my Note 3. BUT... Today, I put my Note 3 (Verizon) SIM ans SD card in my rooted Note 4. I couldn't get any network service. I did NOT get the prompt to insert my SIM, just no cell network. I am able connect to wifi...

Cheers! I'm ALMOST there! I'm flashing the systemonlyN910V-5.1.1.tar file. How long should that take? It's been running for about 20-30 minutes. Is there any indication of progress, or does it just pop up when it done? Thanks! Nevermind, I see it now. I had a corrupt tar file I downloaded it...

MWM Noah Edition? okay, from out of the blue... Anyone know where I can get the latest version of Noah Edition of MetaWatch Manager? It looks like it was taken down because the dev was not able to keep maintaining it. I'd still like to get the last version and test against the latest...

Old thread, I know. I found this thread searching for a solution to my lockscreen problem. I want to leave this to help others. I could not get the lock screen to work at all. I reflashed the ROM, reloaded GApps, tried safe mode, and about a dozen other things... nothing. GoLocker worked, but...
