I want to see the time a message was read (seen) by me on the Facebook Messenger chat. How do I do that? I already downloaded my data, but it doesn't show the conversations I had on the chat app, only those sent/received on my computer/laptop.

Hello

I have an HTC Desire Z that I recently got online in order to fix my OLD HTC Desire Z and practice rooting in order to upgrade to a more current version of Android. It turns out the phone is already rooted and on Andriod 4.2.2 which is awesome however it's not giving me any service. I'm not sure if it's just not recognizing my SIM card or what and I'm not very tech savvy so I'm unsure what to do. I don't know how to figure out what ROM the original owner used if that would be of any assistance.

The phone is from Sri Lanka so I kind of assumed it was a frequency thing since I'm in Canada but my Fiance can put his Rogers SIM card in the phone and it works fine by my Bell SIM does nothing.

S2 starts shutting down after flashing CM 11

Hello everyone and thanks for the great site/forum!

So I finally rooted my good old Samsung Galaxy S2 and also flashed CM 11 Nightly (Kit Kat) on it. And I did the battery calibration as well.
The problem is that after I did this the phone was ok for about a week but then started to shut down without a reason all by itself.

I've read about the issue and it seems that this is nothing new with Android phones. But I haven't had this problem at all before I flashed a new ROM to my phone.
Is there anything you think I should try? Are there any ROM's that are more stable than CM 11?

Have a module called "obb on sd" installed

Icon activation zone size?

Lately I've been playing around with various launchers (mostly Nova Prime), themes and icon sets on my G3. Problem I've run into is my home screen icons seem to have a very large activation zone relative to their size.
In the attached picture, if I tap the dropbox icon either the Settings (directly above) or Google play (directly below) open. As can be seen, I've spaced the icons away from each other but that didn't help.
Going into my apps list the icons are pretty close together but they open correctly (unlike the home screen).

How can I fix this? :confused:

Hey there, NST-friend! :p

After looking at your situation, I'm sorry to inform you that unless you root your device, you cannot uninstall the YouTube app, as it's installed in /system/app. If you want, you can root temporarily, uninstall the app, and unroot your device, but other than that...

Is there a way to change the way the finger print scanner works on Samsung device? Instead of swiping my finger down I would like to be able to hold my finger to unlock since my case interferes when I try to swipe down.

Hi there.

I am C# developer. I would like to port Cyanogenmod to Oppo R5 device, which is currently not supported.
Kernel is already out http://xdaforums.com/oppo-r5/general/kernel-source-avaliable-r5-t3051530 .

Since I didn't do Android development, I have a few questions.

- Is kernel just retail ROM dedicated for device (based on device hardware)?
- So based on retail kernel for device, how can I use(connect, port) Cyanogenmod kernel to basically have Cyanogenmod for Oppo R5?

Cyanogenmod basically upgrades retail kernel of the device, with intension of improvements for example battery, camera etc? Can someone explain how does this work first of all or can I read this somewhere?

    hello, hope this is where i need to be and i thank you in advance for any help i receive because i am so confused and don't know where to start. so in dec 2021 i bought my f9212b vertical android head unit off of ebay and my boyfriend installed it for me. everything is working but its super slow and if what im reading is correct it hasn't had an update since i put it in. so that's pretty much where im at. i don't know where or how to update firmware or software or if i have to. i have my google account signed into the unit but the auto android update is enabled but im not totally sure that its current either\. its super slow. just a head start on my next question after i figure the software firmware stuff out... not a clue what the protocol name for my canbus is. its a 2016 Hyundai elantra, haven't been able to use this thing to the best of its abilities and i would like to figure it out after all this time.
    Since 2016 to our days, Android versions changed the play rules a lot, when this units were launched, considering that they usually came with an outdated version (1 or 2 back), out of the box, and they expected to, hopefully, just one Android update, so for our days they may run really slow...

    While you wait for a better answer here, from a more experienced user, you would redirect to the Head Units Forum, you may find alternative answers for your issue there.

    Hi, I am trying to root an Infinix x650 I have unlocked OEM and flashing but can't find a reliable recovery file. Can you help me find it. Also I've come across terms like "flashing recovery", "flashing boot image", "flashing kernel", "flashing twrp". Can you explain the difference
    I came across this guide which details how to root and flash on your device. As I don't have your device there, make sure you read everything carefully (which you should always do, anyway) and backup everything etc. before you start.

    Twrp is a custom version of a recovery so you can put those 2 in the same pile. With that, you'll be able to flash things like ROMs, as in the guide above. Other than that, you'll basically have no reason to flash the others and definitely not if you don't know what you're doing with them. You should only flash and modify what you understand in the first place so just do research and read, read, read before doing anything

    would it be good idea to get poco x5? i just want to try different custom roms.

    i only found these roms.
    1. crdroid
    2. projectelixiros
    3. evolution-x

    Thanks.
    If you only want to try different custom ROMs then don't get any modern phone. The android modding world has changed a hell of a lot in recent years and most devices don't have many custom ROMs available.
    Look in the device forums for the most popular phones in the last couple years and you'll see what I mean.
    For the most part, rooting and installing different modules with Magisk is what most people do now as it's much more straight forward than flashing a ROM and won't have as much bloat as you can pick and choose what customisation you would like, via different modules
    1
    You didn´t mention the model, and what you did previously, to cause this happen.
    My guess is that he was trying to do the magisk root

    So those who want to help here, just try to answer without flaming, let it be answered thousands of times earlier, show them the path, direction and let them do things on their own. Do not spoon feed, rather just try to point them to right direction.

    This whole idea is of @undercover and the former OP Bruce Wayne and I thank him.
