Is there a way to list all Intents and all processes associated with them?

Perhaps not all, but you can get a pretty good idea using:

dumpsys activity broadcasts |grep -iE ".+\.[0-9A-Z_\-]+:$" |sort

The grep expression makes sure to only catch lines ending in the intent like format of ...blahblah.SOME_INTENT:. I then use sort to get it more readable. It may not catch all, but it's a good start.

McAfee Free Antivirus won't update from Play Store returning error -505

The app with this package name: com.wsandroid.suite was not signed by the same certificate as the one from the Play store.  This is a fundamental security requirement.  You will have to make sure the app you are installing originally is signed with the same key as the one in the Play store.

There is no way to get around this security requirement (matching signatures) to the best of my knowledge.


During a Google+ Instant Upload, is it all or nothing?

It should show your pictures as they are added (AKA not all-or-nothing). I'd try rebooting your device, also check if maybe your battery level is low (under I think 20% it doesn't upload, similar to dropbox)


Notebooks can only be sorted (in the mobile app, it's the button to the left of the magnifying glass) by:

Title
Note count
User

Maybe you can request for custom sorting from Evernote.


I actually found TaskXP for MultiTasking which someone recommended. It's just what I wanted. It shows my recent apps and any apps that I pin, in an overlay that I can quickly hit back from.


How i can protect my android from Master Key Vulneralability?

You can check whether your device is affected using e.g. Bluebox Security Scanner.

To close the vulnerability, your device needs root access. If that pre-condition is given, there are different fixes available, e.g.

Master Key dual fix (a module for the xposed-framework)
Master-Key Security Patch (again a module for Xposed)
ReKey (a stand-alone app)


As far as I can tell, that is simply the phone working as designed. If you receive a call while the device is locked, the device will remain locked after the call ends. This should be the same whatever device you use.

It may be different if you set your device to have no lock screen, but I hadn't tested it.


ADB constantly disconnects, shows device offline

Switching from USB 3.0 port to USB 2.0 solved the problem for me.
Most laptops come with both port types these days.


There is no way of doing it with native settings. Alternatives below :

From Android 6.0 onwards we have adoptable-storage wherein the entire memory (phone + ext SD) is treated as one memory unit and is encrypted. It is highly recommended to read the tag wiki
and understand pros and cons before doing this (IMHO, it's a rotten idea but that's me)
Browse through the tools available for file / folder / media encryption from Izzy's app repository and pick your choice


i hv tried opening a soccer game i hv just downloaded

Maybe the game doesn't support your device. If you have any other devices, try to open the game, and if it still doesn't, then try contacting the developer of the game.


Not sure how much help this is, but I've had success using the reverse tethering solution with IIS, so it must have something to do with your server. With IIS I connect using the Ip 192.168.0.0:port/{path of directory within IIS instance}

Hope this helps


Is it possible to write android application using Google Web Toolkit?

Yes

Most Android browsers support Javascript quite well, and since GWT "translates" the Java to Javascript it should be fine. Obviously it might require some tweaking to accommodate the screen formats.

EDIT:
Note, it will be a web application, with all limitations that come with that


How to prevent applications to donwload data automatically?

This is part of Google Play Store settings. Select Do not auto-update apps in the following path:
Google Play Store>Settings>Auto update apps>Do not auto-update apps

This is a global setting, but it may be overridden by a specific setting at the application level. For instance, an application may have a specific setting to update itself, especially if that application came from a 3rd party source. You will need to check those application settings individually and prevent auto-updating there. However, this is not generally true, in fact I think it is a violation of terms, if that application comes from the Google Play Store.


Yes, it is possible. All you need to do is to root your device and install Adfree. This small app will block all the ads on your device.

NOTE : I am also not against devs for adding ads to their apps, but intense ads popups are irritating.


Fitness health/apps: Export personal data from phone (i.e Dafit)

Though i haven't found specific apps I found method for "powerusers".
Dafit stores its information in plain text inside a SQlite database files, there are several tables with apparently no relationship (maybe from code there are few relations).
How to extract/process the data:

Extract data file from Android

Option1. Find the data folder (from android), copy&paste to accessible folder ¿root req?
Option2. Do a backup (titanium backup, oandbackup,...) and unzip the content of backup to a folder

Open file with a SQLlite tool
Export to spreadsheet/excel tables and process/transform there
Process/transform using SQL queries.


Broken screen/glass, turned off, pc-controll? HELP?

If I were you I would try to get control over the device using ADB. From there you can get your files back and root the device if you want. Also as Izzy suggested in the comments, there are several applications for a device with a cracked or unusable screen. Android is Linux based, so Android can do almost anything a Linux based server can do. You can find a lot of great server based applications for android by searching on Google.

Remember, Android is a Linux based operating system, so Android can do almost anything a Linux based server can do. A lot of server applications are going to require root.

It also seems your question can best be answered by: Control android with broken screen from pc


As of current versions, would any of these setups pass safetynet checks?

I have been using my OnePlus 3T with LineageOS 14.1 without su and with a custom-built kernel for half a year now. SafetyNet passes, AndroidPay works.


Android 9 set volume keys to adjust ringer by default

I was very frustrated when Android 9 changed the volume buttons to control the media volume all the time so I developed an app to fix this and make the volume buttons control the ringtone and notification volume as it used to. It's free and you can install it from here: [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.softstackdev.volumeFix ]

Let me know if you need any help to use it.


Difference between Doze Mode and Sleep Mode in Android Marshmallow

Sleep Mode - means CPU will be sleeping and will not accept any command except from RIL(Radio Interface Layer) and alarms. CPU will go to sleep mode with in fraction of seconds after LCD is turned off.

Doze Mode - means that apps on your phone will have no network access, the system will ignore “wakelocks” when apps try to keep the device from going to sleep, and no background tasks will be allowed to run. That certainly makes it sound like your phone won’t do you much good, but there are a few ways Doze preserves functionality. While apps can’t wake the device up to run sync jobs and other background tasks, high-priority push messages will still show up. So for example, a Hangouts message will appear on a device that’s in Doze mode.

App Standby - an app that goes into standby loses all network access and all its background sync jobs are suspended. These restrictions are temporarily lifted when your phone is plugged in and for a few minutes every day or two. This gives suspended apps a chance to run any pending sync jobs, but they won’t be allowed to continue running. A high-priority push notification will also be able to wake an app from standby for a short time.

Your seller seems to have fooled you.
Also it doesn't seem like the seller put up the battery description as 3300mAh by mistake as he has put this in Title name itself

You could have taken out the battery from phone and flipped it to see the battery capacity printed on the other side.

How to disable mobile data on DROID Bionic?

From Verizon:

Open settings.
Select Battery & data manager.
Select Data delivery.
Select Data enabled to enable / disable.


FreeOTP or FreeOTP+ - Which is More Secure?

Generally I would say that both are secure.
FreeOTP: Developed by Fedora by RedHat. So by a prop. company. But it's open source for everyone, that means if there would leaks to RedHat the FLOSS-Community would reported that to F-Droid and News Pages. That would a big scandal for RedHat and many people would lose trusting Fedora. Second, it's unmaintained. They deliver some commits, but not releases that F-Droid can build. I guess OTP doesn't offers security issues.
FreeOTP+: A maintained fork of FreeOTP. It's developed by a private person, Howard Liberty. It offers updates. But like at FreeOTP, the community would find issues if your pricacy isn't secure. F-Droid would disable these version (if they find some issues).
But there are also other 2FA Applications that are open-source available (and installable in the offical F-Droid repo):
OTP Authenticator: A basic client, but doesn't offers new commmits. Developed by Bruno Bierbaumer. Last commit/release at Dec 23, 2015.
andOTP: Active fork of OTP Authenticator. They continue the upstream. The latest release was on Oct 28, 2020. But they offer new commits. It has the a big community at GitHub (2.8k stars). Main developer is Jakob Nixdorf.
Aegis Authenticator: This is 2FA by Alexander Bakker and Michael Schättgen. In my eye it looks a bit properitary, but hasn't any trackers since it's available in F-Droid. It has 1.6 stars on GitHub.
(Google) Authenticator: You sad that you don't want the Google Authenticator as answer. But this app is by google and is open source. F-Droid's latest version was at 2012. But their repository offers commits and releases from 2019. This is a "fork" of the prop. Google Authenticator available on the prop. Play Store. It's not sure, if there is a codebase of the offical app or receives updates by the prop. App. I'm not sure, if there are trackers. (But I think so.)
I personally use FreeOTP+. But I can also suggest andOTP. I'm looking to switch to cotp. cotp is a Command-Line tool developed for the computer. And maybe able to use with Termux


These suggestions might seem odd and they might not yield any results but they're worth a shot:

Try using the panorama and video settings in the stock camera, and I do mean actually use them.  Don't just switch to them and switch back to picture mode.  If you're lucky changing modes, taking a panorama/video, then changing back to normal picture mode will reset whatever needs to be reset.
In normal picture mode long-press the shutter button.  Try this twice, one time release the screen as normal and the next drag your finger away from the shutter button before releasing the screen.  I'm not sure if doing it these two ways will have different results, but I know that if you drag your finger away no picture will be taken.


You should be able to unroot your phone with SuperSU.


Following the instructions, flash each UPDATE.APP in order:

Transfer > put the UPDATE.APP file in a new folder sdcard\dload and run forced upgrade (vol up + down)
dload (main) > overwrite UPDATE.APP in sdcard\dload, run forced upgrade again
vendor > overwrite UPDATE.APP in sdcard\dload and run forced upgrade for the last time

Note:

the UPDATE.APP needs to be copied from each folder to sdcard\dload\
phone should reboot after each forced upgrade


What does "Service google play" application actually do?

Added to the exaggerated "Apps may not work if you uninstall Google Play services" from the app's description (see e.g. the answer of SuperThomasLab):

Many apps found on Google Play depend on this, but by far not all. Apps e.g. from F-Droid mostly can live without it. One can think of Google Play Services as kind of "shared library" for "many things Google".

When using a custom ROM without GApps, it can e.g. be substituted by migroG GmsCore – I've just done that on one of my devices :) microG GmsCore, as the name-part "Core" suggests, offers the essential services many apps rely on – but without all the overhead Google's app ships with. So it should be much less aggressive towards the device's resources. Please see the linked XDA thread for details and up-to-date information – which also gives you ideas on what Google Play Services does:

Ads/Analytics API: will not be covered by microG
Auth API: authentication with Google's services. Covered by microG
Cast API: in the works (microG is still young :)
Drive API: Google Drive stuff (not yet in microG)
Fitness API: not (yet) in microG
Games API: not (yet) in microG
Cloud Messaging API: fully functional in microG
Location Provider API: fully functional in microG
Geofencing API: not yet supported in microG
Maps API: partly implemented in microG (work in progress)
Plus API: minimal support with microG
Wearable API: work on this has just started in microG

From this list you can get an idea what Google Play Services include. And from the "state" mentioned toward them for microG, you should see why it's more lightweight. I for one hope that, if implemented at all, Fitness + Games at least go to a separate app which one only need to install when needed; I don't need that, so for me it would be bloatware :)


Internal memory full even when all apps are linked

link2sd doesn't move data to your extra partition of SD Card. So even when you've linked all apps your internal storage will get filled by app's data.

In lnik2sd click the sort icon and select sort by data size. From there you can see which app uses most data and maybe clear them.


How to set up BIOS-like password on Android device?

The only thing similar to this that I can think of is device encryption, it's built in to the settings panel. Every time you power on your phone, you are required to enter a pass-code, that you created. If you forget it, it will be more difficult to get back into your phone

How To

Go to settings
Click Security
Under the Encryption group, hit Encrypt device (or phone on older devices)
Now it will guide you through the next steps.


Select music quality when syncing Google Music with Android

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a simple solution.

Your simple options seem to be:

Use Google Music and select a subset of music to keep offline
Don't use Google Music for offline tracks; instead sync them yourself
Use the "fix incorrect match" button on the web interface to force your low-quality songs to be uploaded (you can use gmusicapi to automate the process)
Make enough noise that Google devs take notice (I'm willing to bet their servers support this feature)

One last thing: I was under the impression that matching a song didn't automatically get you access to a 320kbs copy. When uploading, the Music Manager actually provides the bitrate of your copy of the song (here's my code); I've seen low quality (eg 128kbs) local copies matched and then produce a < 320kbs copy when redownloaded.

So, if you've got time to burn, you could conceivably use this to your advantage: re-encoding to poor quality locally and reuploading may result in lower-quality server matches.


There are quite a few apps in the Market which will lock certain apps behind a password, a search in the Market for "applock" should find most of them.

I haven't actually used any, so can't give you a recommendation, but these should allow you to lock the Market and Settings apps behind a PIN number, to keep your kids out of them.


lollipop how to get music & photos on sd

I haven't used the Note 3 but all the Galaxys I have used had the My files app preinstalled. So:

go to that Files app
navigate to your music
longpress on one of your songs, then click the menu in the corner
select "move file" or select all then "move files"
navigate to your sd card and hit "paste" from the menu or diplayed botton that says "paste".

If you do not have the My files app then download a file manager app. I would recommended Root explorer – but if you don't have that either, check with the list of file managers by Izzy and you should find it (and additional candidates) relatively easy.

//thanks to Izzy for making your list of file managers//

Making multiple files or a folder available offline in Google Drive

Select all files (automatically using the menu option), then slide the "make available offline" switch. It will keep all the selection on device.

You can select a folder but Google will refuse to "make available offline".  Instead go into the folder and select any number of files for syncing, and the parent folder will of course also now be created.

Finally there is an option to automatically make recent files offline, but I don't know whether those files are then permanently made available, or only for a couple of weeks for example.


SGS2 Replace preinstalled apps in Custom ROM

Since you're rooted within CM, its a matter of doing the following, provided you have read the following:
Caveat Emptor:
The Jellybean leaked apks are signed with the signature key used to generate the signed leaked ROM of JB, however, it may clash with CM's own signature key which is, and I'll guarantee, different, so may not work at all!
You are on your own from there onwards.
-------------------------------------

remounting the /system rewriteable as in adb remount to make it writeable
replace the apk's concerned within /system/app by adb pushing the appropriate apks taken from JB, as in adb push name_of_jb_apk.apk /system/app (Repeat for each apk concerned) - this will overwrite the apk's already residing in /system/app
remount the /system as read-only as in adb remount

Reboot, and go into clockworkmod recovery and clear the data/cache, the reason being is to remove the old cached data that was in use by the old apk's, and thus, minimize the chances of force closes within the relevant apks in question.
I will list the actual filenames for the apk's concerned:

Sms, the filename is Mms.apk
Contacts, there's two apks involved, ContactsProvider.apk and Contacts.apk
Dialler, name is Phone.apk, now, beware, this may have a dependency on TelephonyProvider.apk also.

Whilst I have mentioned the actual apk's, I am therefore disclaiming any responsibility for anything that may happen on your handset as a result of replacing system apps.


No, this is impossible. If I were you, I would send a broadcast message to all of my contacts regarding my new number.


Stay awake while charging, bad for battery?

As long as the battery stays below 140 deg F, the extra heat won't damage it.  See retailers' instructions, manufacturer's data sheets, or any professional drone pilot. If anything, the battery works better at somewhat above room temperature.


Hard brick phone exchange and deleting data

Summing up from the (now purged) comments:

As the device really seems to be bricked beyond the chance of repairing it yourself, there are indeed only two options left: Keeping it as a paper-weight to protect your data – or sending it in under warranty/insurance to get it repaired, with the risk that someone might try to get a hand on your data.

While the latter is definitely possible, and there's no 100% guarantee against it, check the facts on how likely this will be: the harder it is (and currently, it looks pretty hard), the more valuable data one must expect to be on the device to consider the efforts worthwhile. If you were the president of "something big", or there were other reasons to suspect "top secrets" on the device, it would be one thing. But – no offense meant – the device of some "average user" hardly seems to justify it:

if the eMMC chip was really fried, it would require very expensive forensics work to recover even parts of the data
if the motherboard broke, considering the SoC design repair costs would demand to simply replace it. To get to the data, the chip would have to be unsoldered and placed on another board, or at least JTAGged (too much effort again)

So, no guarantees – but it's quite unlikely someone would care restoring the data. Not even as a special service to you – unless you're willing to include a bank cheque holding at least a 4-digit sum (in front of the decimal of course).


You can install the app Whatsapp Chat heads I am not sure if it runs on Nexus 5, or that it shows Chat-heads or just the name of the chat.


vCard sent to my Android shows up as text

I found some encoding issues when dealing with vCards, but generally, I was able to open any vCard file with the native contact manager application, have you tried to open the file with your computer?

The vCard is a text format file, so the image is encoded in Base64 (characters) if you open any vCard with a notepad, you will be able to see the contact picture encoded with characters.

This is a sample vCard:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N:Anders;Maria
FN:Maria Anders
ORG:Alfreds Futterkiste
TEL;TYPE=WORK:030-0074321
NOTE:Very Funny!
END:VCARD

So... To give you an answer, Android should handle vCards natively, without any special configuration. I'm running Android 4.x as well, and it works as expected.

In my opinion, the issue is about how iPhone encodes the vCard.

You can try downloading this vCard file: I's been tested on many Android devices


Please define what you mean by automatically downloads apps:

downloading updates for the installed apps
installs new random apps from the playstore

If it's the first one, then you need to go into Menu -> My apps & games -> Installed, click on one of the apps - then look for the menu button ( or the 3 dots in the upper right corner ) and disable auto-update.


How can I send incoming calls from unknown numbers directly to voicemail?

Automation is the preferred option. Many apps are available. I prefer using MacroDroid , since it is free (upto 5 macros) and easy to learn. To understand how MacroDroid works and the settings required for your Android version, see  my answer

Note

This is not tested on Marshmallow  as I am on KitKat
You will need to tweak timings in accordance with voicemail behaviour and "Doze" feature of Marshmallow
Voice mail is used solely for unknown callers
This solution also "mutes" unknown callers (no call ring sound) before diverting them to voicemail to minimise spam nuisance

Your macros would look like this

Unknown caller macro

Trigger: Call incoming → Select contact →Unknown Caller

Actions:

Volume Change →Ringer (Set to zero on sliding scale- this action will mute ringer for unknown caller)
Call Reject
Wait before next action (set time in seconds per voicemail behaviour so that call is sent to voicemail)

Constraints: None

Other caller macro (to reverse muting of call done for unknown callers)

Trigger:

Call incoming → Select contact →Any number

Action:

Volume Change →Ringer (Set to required volume on sliding scale- this action will unmute ringer for callers other than unknown caller)

Constraints: None


How to enable voice-activation of S Voice when in car?

Take a look at the app Tasker. Also the free app Llama may also be able to do this.

Tasker and Llama automate tasks on your phone. So you can have them say IF this condition (car charger plugged in) THEN do something (activate SVoice).

Need to know ip address through my viber login

You can see your IP activities from gmail too, go to the gmail homepage, scroll down and look for last account activity: some time ago, under that line there is a link to details
there you can see from where your Google account has been accessed, hopefully you can retrieve your laptop

Good luck :D


Just use any root file manager like root browser and browse to system/etc/init.d and delete all scripts manually

Alternatively, download and install terminal emulator. Open it and enter these commands One by One->

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
mkdir /sdcard/init/
cp /system/etc/init.d /sdcard/init/
rm -r /system/etc/init.d/*

In first command, we gain the superuser rights. It should request you for root permission, grant it if it does. The second command is to mount the /system (partition where init.d scripts reside). And third command creates a new folder "init" in root of internal sdcard (this is where we will backup your scripts in case you will ever need them). The fourth command copies all scripts to folder we created in third step (backup). Fifth command finally removes all files inside init.d folder.

Hope this helps.


Basically, if you are already rooted and running a custom ROM, you will want to follow these steps, and I hope you know what they mean, because I am going to try and keep them as simple as possible:

backup any of your data you want. Google does this automatically with some stuff, but the other stuff you can use Nandroid Backup.
Reboot into recovery.
Wipe all data/factory reset.
Flash the ROM in the recovery tool. I use TWRP so I just click install and then navigate to where I have downloaded and saved the .zip file that I want, but yours should be similar no matter what recovery you are using.
Flash the most recent gapps package in the same way as the ROM's zip. These are the Google Apps that you will need.

That should be it. I simplified it so that you can understand, but if you have questions, leave them below. If this stills seems foreign to you, you might want to look for a video guide on YouTube or something. The process is very similar for almost all phones. Just different files and slightly different methods depending on which recovery and such you use.


What you are looking for is usually known as a 'receipt printer'. A quick Google for 'bluetooth receipt printer' turns up a number of models from a variety of manufacturers (quite a few of them are actually battery powered and portable - like you see at car rental places).

The big problem here is that Android doesn't really have any concept of local printing, so I think you're going to have to implement it yourself.

Android DOES have bluetooth communications APIs (docs), and I'd be surprised if the printer manufacturers haven't heard all this before, and have at least clues how to proceed (after all, they like to sell printers!). If you'll be buying a significant number of printers, I bet they'll happily help you talk to their devices.

If that's too expensive for you (and those printers look a bit pricey), then you could try USB. Again, you can find USB receipt printers, which again you'll have to learn to talk to. Android does have a set of USB APIs (docs). On the plus side, my quick Google for 'USB receipt printer' turned up some sub-$75 choices right away, so this might be a good approach if you are price sensitive. I'd also be willing to bet that at least some of the USB printers are actually serial devices with something like an FTDI chip bolted up to them. That means that talking to them is probably not very difficult.

Alternately, if you can find a cheap receipt printer that's serial or something, you could look at the IOIO boards and software stack as a way to interface your android tablet to some funky printer. These are boards that adhere to the relevant Android APIs + software that makes them easy to talk to. The boards are available commercially, and the schematics are available, if you want to build your own, and they are designed to make hardware interfacing easy.


How to stop "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped" in Moto E?

Hy,

I searched for it, too and find certain solution, no one universal, but I explain which worked for me:

go to settings through notification bar (i mean pull down notification bar and there touch the gear icon)
there search for apps menu item,
in this at the right top corner, in the options touch the show system
scroll down to setup wizard (maybe you have two - one for the OS and one for the Gapps)
in permissions grant all of it want (if you have two, check both)
maybe you need restart

there is a video to show it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUiGHlXEK8k

not the best solution, but works

Beginning at Marshmallow, every app ask for permission from user when it need for it, but setup wizard start before permion control service could running, so you gain permissions manually to work correctly

sorry for my bad english, I hope you can understand it and the solution worked


Preloading images over WiFi from New York Times app for Android?

There's an option as of app version 6.10 to preload images.

However it only preloads some images, leaving you at risk of using a fairly substantial chunk of data simply by flipping though sections in the app.  As of this writing, there seems no better option.

Google Device Manager on CyanogenMod - How to stop asking me to unlock phone all the time?

I found the way to solve this.

1- Unlock the phone (as usual)
2- Go to settings
3- Go to Device
4 Go to lock screen
5 Select none
6 Press back
7 Turn off your screen, wait 5 seconds, and turn on again and you should have no lock at all.
8- Problem solved.

If you want to add a "normal" lock screen again, repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 and select your lock screen.


It's an official update, so the signature should be perfectly valid.  There are a couple things to check:

You didn't mention where you saved the update.zip.  Make sure it's in the /sdcard/ folder -- try viewing it via a file manager on your phone to ensure it's there.
I assume you've done this already, but make sure your bootloader is unlocked.
The download might have been corrupted.  Try the download again, and verify its validity with the MD5 sum (3e8908941043951da5a34bb2043dd1a0)
What's your specific model number?  Perhaps this update doesn't work for your model.

How to make Android use remote DNS servers over VPN?

You might want to take a look at the DNS Settings app, which claims to be able to do what you want (you just have to switch once to a static IP to change the DNS settings, and then switch back to dynamic IP, according to the description). That's the only non-root app I could find for this issue -- there are two more apps at least, but they require root to work.

Does the IR Blaster on an Android phone receive as well as send?

For transmitting, a single Infrared LED and resistor are needed. For receiving, an IR receiver module with internal bandpass filter is needed.

There are remotes that will send and receive. Universal remotes will sometimes have a "learning mode" to mimic another remote.  An example of this at the bottom of my answer.

But a receiving IR isn't a standard feature on Android devices, as of this answer I haven't heard of or have found any online of that can. But with a PC program and Android app you can mimic remotes. The link below is one such program.

Unified Remote. There is a free version and a paid version with more features.

The link is just for the feature list of the app. There is a server (PC) side as well as Android side.The amount of remotes that you can map over to your device is staggering, I think you can even design your own remotes. By using one of the remote templates, your device is effectively "learning/receiving" the other remotes codes (you don't even have to have another remote physically there). You would still be accomplishing your goal.

example

I had a Yamaha Natural Sound home theater receiver and the remote had a "Learn Mode". So you switch it to learn, place the "other" remote in front of it. Press the button on "other" remote, then press a button on the Yamaha remote that you want that command mapped to. You now have control of the other devices functions. You can also clear mapped button commands and enter new ones as needed.


What search can I perform to get a streaming app result on Google?

I think the clues are in the article from Search Engine Land:

  If you have one of the apps above installed, Google will jump you from its search results on Android into them.

The apps "above" are currently:

  Chimani
  Daily Horoscope
  Gormey
  Hotel Tonight
  My Horoscope
  New York Subway
  Useful Knots
  Visual Anatomy Free
  Weather Channel

Further, the article also mentions:

  The requirements are Android 5 "Lollipop" or 6 "Marshmallow" or higher and to be on a strong wifi connection.

So, based on your sample search, you need to have Lollipop or Marshmallow on your Android device, a strong wifi connection, and the "Hotel Tonight" app installed. And it appears you'll need to use the Google app or search within Google Chrome (no other browser).

And if you're not in the pool of people they're testing it on, even with all of this you won't get the results.


Will Android Lollipop be pushed to Nexus 7 device again

I think you will have to flash the factory image yourself. See the instructions and links to all Nexus factory images at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Note that this procedure will not preserve your data as may be the case with OTA push updates.


The blue dot is because of GPS and not because of WiFi. GPS doesn't require internet connectivity to work when it locks onto your position.

How does it know to update? When you go off course then the app will try and update your route with a new route(which needs internet).


Removing active notifications on Marshmallow

With Marshmallow, long pressing the notification will bring up notification settings from there you can disable notifications for the specific app that's causing the persistent notification. Since you are working with the 'system' app you are not able to change any notification settings unless you are rooted. So in short without root permission you will not have access to change notification permissions on any app located in /system/app


Try booting into fastboot and run fastboot format cache and then fastboot erase cache.


Voice commands for contacts with unusual names

I would try the first approach, and have the system pronounce the name. To do so, a simple TTS app like Auto Speak Clipboard 2 will do: Install it, copy her name to the clipboard, send out all cats and your girl (to avoid their punishment), and have that app speak what it thinks the name should sound like. Have some Valerian ready in case you freak out ;)


Outlook.com ActiveSync no longer working, even after recreation

After messing around, I finally noticed that, after creating the fresh ActiveSync account on my android phone, the eas account's EMail showed a kind of "welcome mail" from MS, that read in the subject "ACTION REQUIRED ..." (paraphrased).

I took a closer look at this Email, and it asked me to set up the Outlook App. And if I didn't wish to set up the Outlook App, I should follow a link to continue syncing with the built-in apps. I didn't notice this the first few times, because normally I don't use outlook.com mail and normally I just ignore Welcome Mails.

After I clicked this MS link, the sync started to work again for both contacts and calendar.

Let's just not start a rant on how MS wasted dunno how many hours of my time through this ... sigh


How to turn off Hindi Language prediction in Google Chrome mobile?

Track down what is putting icons on my desktop

Seems like someone had the exact same issue but posted it on the Android Forums, not here. :(

Things to try:

Install one or several of Airpush Detector, Avast! Mobile Security, AVG antivirus, or/and Addons detector.
Install CM Security to prevent things from slipping by unnoticed again.
Start Uninstalling apps one by one starting with the most recent to see which one is the problem, and then don't reinstall that one.

I hope you can get your phone back to normal soon!


Try one of the online unlocking websites.

If you're paranoid, see if your bank still offers limited-use credit cards with a very small limit for online purchases, or use a pre-paid card.

If you install Pelya’s XSDL Server from Google Play, you can use X11 aplications. In GNURoot type:

apt-get install xfce4

It will install the XFCE4 Desktop Environment and Xorg with some utilities.

And after several minutes of packages downloading and making configurations, start XSDL and set your favorite display resolution and zoom, and then type in GNUroot:

DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 startxfce4

Switching to XSDL app, the XFCE4 starts and you can now use the graphical interface.

I found this solution at: http://www.r-ohjelmointi.org/?p=1434

Some other things:
* Change font size as in ordinary Gnome.
* Moving a flat finger is same as click and drag, for resizing etc.
* I have to press the back button on the pad to get the screen keyboard displayed. This overlays lower part of X Window though.
* No terminal emulators seem to work properly. However, GNURoot can be used for that.
* Applications like Gnu Planner, gretl and Gnu Cash work without problems.


Is it possible to sync your Exchange/Outlook calendar with an Android application?

I just managed to get this to work on an Acer Z200:

Click the Settings wheel
Under ACCOUNTS, select Corporate
Add your Exchange account there and set its sync options

I now see my Exchange email and calendars in the standard Calendar app, and I get notifications for my Exchange calendar appointments.

Before doing that, I installed Microsoft's Outlook app and added my Exchange account as an account of type Outlook. This allows me to view my email and calendars in the Outlook app, but I didn't find a way to make it send notifications for calendar items. (If it is possible, please correct this answer.)


Clear search history in ebook reader App (Desire S)

Here is the HTC Desire S user guide in PDF, but I couldn't find there anything about clear search history in the section Reading eBook (pages 148-151). So, being that the default eBook reader, I guess that clearing search history is not possible unless you clear data from that app.


How to download pictures from Google Nexus?

Bluetooth is a rather slow choice when it comes to transferring bigger files: to transfer 10 MB, you'ld need...

BT 2.* (2.1 MBit/s) ~ 40s
BT 3.* (24 MBit/s) ~ 4s
WiFi g (54 MBit/s) ~ 2s

And with BT, the range is quite limited as well. Most devices probably still use BT 2 standard.

How to transfer your files then? You might want to check the most frequented questions of the "file-transfer" tag for that. The usual method (if you don't want any "questionable third-party tools" involved) is to connect your device to your PC using the USB cable -- which then should mount your device storage like a drive. You could also use some third-party tools (they are not all "questionable") to manage your device via WiFi -- AirDroid would be a good choice for that.

For transferring data between Android devices, you could use wifi-direct. Again, there are some good 3rd party tools to help, as e.g. SuperBeam or WiFiShare.


Google apps timeline inaccurate location

Do you use your Google account on more than one device? Or do you turn off location and your cell data and connect only via wifi? If you were connected to WiFi on your phone, or another WiFi or ethernet connected device logged in with your Google account, Google may have assumed your location was the location of the IP address you were using (which isn't necessarily where the actual WiFi router/access point is). 4 miles away is about the right distance for say a cable broadband hub and the IP address location may have resolved to somewhere near the hub.

If you go to http://whatsmyip.org and click on the "more information" button, it will attempt to locate you via your IP address. That's likely analogous to where your weird Google location came from.


Is the Motorola Xoom tablet suitable for making notes on pdf?

I do not believe there are any Android applications that will allow you to make notes on PDF files. You might be better off looking towards a Windows capable tablet, since you would be able to run Acrobat on that.

Just curious if you use Google device / location manager(s)?

I have had some of theses issues come up on CM11.

Try going to Google.com then click maps as your search criteria/engine and type ' my current location ' as the search, and also in the map click the little circle in the bottom right corner (its the circle above the blue direction circle ....its the location target eye image , black and white) .....you should be asked if you would like to allow Google to access your location by now.  because if not it could just be a settings thing.

I suggest using Google chrome when / if you do this.... I had better luck when I did... which makes sense since chrome is a Google entity.

I am not saying this is a fix, but I am curious about the results because this may help myself and others to get an understanding of how your devices current state due to how it handles the request(s).

CM11 hasn't treated me too well in this respect either.


Busted Verizon Galaxy Note 5 screen, trying to use adb to unlock

You can use CWM or Philz Touch recovery to make a full backup by just using the volume/power buttons.
You can also use an OTG adapter and a USB mouse/keyboard to interact with the phone. If you can't see the screen either, you can use a MHL to HDMI adapter to hook up your screen output to the TV. You may or may not be able to use an OTG mouse or keyboard daisy-chained to the MHL adapter (depends on MHL adapter, unbranded one didn't work for me).
If your bootloader is locked and MHL+mouse idea doesn't work out, your best bet is to get the phone fixed. I would recommend to buy a second phone with Bad ESN off ebay, and just swap the motherboards, with the amount of damage you have. Then you can resell the leftover parts.


Apparently this is not a common issue as I have found nobody else having it. I found that the issue is only present in the full screen mode (i.e: when te status bar is hidden). Cant really wrap my head around why that would happen but at least it's a fix for now.


Prevent phone auto-connect to a specific wifi connection, without forgetting that connection

From what I can see, there really is no way to do it directly

There are root workaround but nothing that only allows manual connection (excluding Samsung or MIUI stuff); it must be OEM implemented. I can't find any way to do it in standard AOSP or lineage OS

You could always try something like Tasker and have it shut off WiFi when your in range of a network you don't want to automatically connect to


What are the risks to overclocking my CPU?

You can ruin the processor, your data, and possibly your skin (ouch!).

According to "Risks of overclocking your CPU" [aimed at desktop PCs], the risks include:

Success: The processor may overclock perfectly, and run stably for many years to come. There are thousands of people who have done this, and I am certainly not going to deny it. This is the best case outcome.
Immediate Destruction: It is possible to totally destroy a processor by attempting to overclock it. By destruction, I mean that the processor will not boot at the higher speed, and when returned to its normal speed, will continue to not function. This is basically the worst case outcome. This sort of permanent failure is very rare, but it does happen. It is made more likely by using inadequate cooling, and also by being ridiculously aggressive in how far you try to overclock (i.e., trying to run a Pentium 75 at 166 MHz.)
Non-Functionality: The processor may not work at the new speed, but may work fine when returned to its original speed. This is a fairly common outcome when overclocking, and in most cases the processor will not be any the worse for wear.
System Instability: The processor may boot at the new speed, but you may see the system behave strangely. Random hard lockups, parity errors, resource conflicts, strange hard disk problems, beeping, application crashes and [your OS] refusing to boot are just the tip of the iceberg. Particularly insidious are the overclocks that work almost perfectly, because that occasional crash may be due to your operating system, but it may be due to that overclocked chip also.
Electromigration: When the processor is run at a speed that is higher than it is supposed to be run at, there is a chance that the internal components in the processor may break down over time. The internal features of a CPU are sized in the range of microns. It is possible that when the processor is stressed by running at too high a frequency, along with the extra heat that overclocking incurs, that the actual metal lines inside the processor may form shorts or opens and damage the processor over a period of time. How likely this is to happen, and how long it takes is really not known. The system may work fine for a while and then suddenly stop working.

And don't forget that higher speeds means higher heat -- your tiny pocket-sized squeeze-asmuch-as-possible-into-this-small-area has very little in the way of cooling fins. Speed it up, and you might overheat. Probably won't burn a hole in your pants, though.

However, accordin to "Big Lou" @

  Modern processors are not harmed by
  overclocking. You aren't altering the
  voltage, just the multiplier. If
  anything, the Droid will not boot or
  may act funny, but once you revert
  back to a slower clock speed, it will
  be fine (and that's for higher speeds,
  mind you).

  Anything up to 1.3 is tested to work
  fine on the Droid. Heat may rise but
  the OMAP3 is rated to around 200
  degrees Fahrenheit. You won't be
  getting anywhere near that, and in
  case you do, you can always set SetCPU
  to roll back the clock speed
  automatically.

YMMV. Note how the original text refers to 75 Mhz Pentiums. ha-hah-ha.

this post @ Overclockers.com covers the SetCPU app, which can adjust speed vs battery performance, start times for clock boosting, etc.


The prop file is right there in the zip (/system/build.prop, same as the path on the phone) - you don't even need additional extraction tools to get it back.

Re-installation will also restore it, but at the cost of losing all prior modifications on /system that you made.

Wifi is not working after installing MIUI

I had exactly the same problem with my Xperia M (C1905) and Miui 4.9.26.
It turned out that the cause was that I didn't wipe the old stock android.

enter TWRP
advanced wipe and wipe everything except sd card (I also didn't wipe the last item USB something).
Install MIUI again


How do you set the Swype keyboard to delete the entire word when the delete button is held down?

Looks like this feature was disabled in the latest version of Swype:  http://forum.swype.com/archive/index.php/t-6439.html

phargarten
06-22-2012, 11:16 AM
Hey Swypers,
We've changed the delete behavior a bit -- and while it took me a day to get used to it, I have to say it has sped up my Swyping a bit. So here's a couple changes we've made to the deletion behavior:

Pressing delete after Swyping a word will delete the entire word. We find that Swype is rarely off by a little. If we don't guess the word you want, you probably want to delete the whole word and Swype again, rather than deleting a few characters. So delete after a Swyped word will delete the entire word.
For this reason, the long press "Delete word back" function has been removed.

Remember, you can always press the Swype key to highlight the word next to the cursor. Swype another word to replace the highlighted text.
Cheers and Happy Swyping!

How to upgrade to 4.4 from 4.3 (Samsung Galaxy S4, already rooted)

You didn't mention if you're on Stock ROM or Custom ROM. But you mention TWRP, so you're probably using a custom recovery (though not necessarily on a custom ROM). What I would try to do is to push Stock Recovery back into your phone, and try the OTA update again.

If that doesn't work, you can download the Stock 4.4 ROM from sammobile, and flash it using Odin. Take note that this will wipe your data.

Is it possible to limit the list of contacts in WhatsApp?

I looked into this some time ago and at least then it was not possible super easily.

The best tip I found (which I haven't tried out myself as it applies to rooted devices only and I haven't yet taken that plunge) was from a Reddit thread that discussed the question.

The thread points to an Exposed Framework module called DonkeyGuard. The developer explains it in the xda-developers forum quite well.

Would be nice to hear if this works! .. And I'm also all ears if there would be a class-action case against WhatsApp(=Facebook) for the blatant intrusion of people's privacy that WhatsApp practices by uploading all of every single users' contacts to its server and exposing that information to other WhatsApp users (even if semi-covertly, sort of).


How to automatically shut down tablet after it auto-powers on?

You can use Tasker (paid; 7 day free trial) and its Scenes to achieve the goal.

Example:

(Click image to enlarge)

Instructions

(Note: root access is needed to shutdown the device.)

Go to Tasker → Scenes and create a scene named Auto off.
Per your taste, set the size of the scene.

You can add text using Text element. The Yes and No in the images are also text elements but you can opt for button elements too.
Similarly, create a separate scene for Yes and No options named Yes and No.

While you've not asked for confirmation, I've considered Andrew T.'s point legit and genuine, hence, separate confirmation for Yes and No selection would do good.
I'm giving a broad idea here.

For each element of scene, under Tap there is an option to execute an action when the element is tapped once.
Show scene and Destroy scene options are available under Scenes action category.
For any Show scene, set Display As: Overlay Blocking and uncheck Show Exit button -- this would force you to choose an option in a scene and avoids the scene getting closed by a hardware button, such as Back button.
Wherever you want to show the timer, mention %Scount.
Auto off scene,

for the Yes element, destroy Auto off scene and show Yes scene
for the No element, destroy Auto off scene and show Yes scene

Yes scene,

for Yo man! element, destroy Yes scene and do Task → Stop → Auto power off
for Shutdown now element, select System → Reboot → Type: Shutdown

No scene,

for Just do it! element, select System → Reboot → Type: Shutdown
for Hell no!! element, destroy No scene and do Task → Stop → Auto power off

Profile, task and actions:

Profile: Event → System → Device Boot
Task: (Name: Auto power off): (Actions):

Task → Wait → set Wait as the time period after which you want to seek user intervention to continue or shutdown
Scene → Show Scene → select your first scene (Auto off)
Variables → Variable Set → Name: %Scount, To: set 60 or maximum number of seconds for auto shutdown timer
Task → Wait → 1 minute
Variables → Variable Subtract → Name: %Scount, Value: 1
Task → GoTo:

Type: Action Number
Number: 4
If %Scount > 0

System → Reboot → Type: Shutdown

Supplementary info:

%Scount is your custom global variable which should be equal to the maximum value of auto shutdown timer, such as 60 for 1 minute or 60 seconds.
In the task Auto power off, the variable gets set to maximum value of timer after the first X minutes wait is over and first scene is shown. This is what starts the timer.
For timer to work, Tasker waits for one second, then subtracts value 1  from the current value of %Scount, decides to wait for one second  and do the subtraction again, if the variable's value is not zero, and once the values reaches zero device executes the shutdown action. (I learned about the timer from the post by nooblikeyou here.)
In the Yes and No scene, the task Auto power off is supposed to be stopped wherever you choose to continue using the device, else, once the timer completes the device will auto shutdown.
The solution would work even if the screen is off.


Creating a .dd image of a Galaxy S3 without rooting the phone

It's impossible to obtain block level access to a block device without root, since all of those files grant the write permission only to root. At least I have never seen it any other way and I doubt that the S3 is an exception here.

It's not because it's technically impossible, the default permissions simply forbid it. A this is done for a pretty good reason: It would be a major security issue if this was possible: The normal user could get a dump of all the filesystem data.


As far as I know, this could be changed simply by buttons on the side of the phone at the moment you are calling.


Why can't my device connect to my home Wi-Fi, but is able to connect to others?

It's not easy to know, but:

2 posibilities:

Check that the IP address configuration is correct.
DHCP is properly configured, if needed.
If you can't connect, try to change the security of your Wi-Fi...
Check if the MAC access is enabled.

Good luck!


Can I make my apps update automatically once a week? (4.1 Jelly Bean)

You could disable the auto update from Play Store settings and update manually every week. Or you could disable the app scanning of your antivirus and instead set a scan of all your apps every week, I think the probability that an app update and the scan to collide will be very low. This way you wouldn't have to do the manual update. Also, you could try some of the Play Store alternatives in this article, but I don't know if they have an update scheduling function.


Can not delete picture from Android phone

It is possible that due to it being in your Gmail, and your account being set up on the phone, that when you try to delete it, Gmail resyncs it to your device.

So my advice would be to log into Gmail.com and remove the email from there, making sure you remove it from trash as well. Then attempt to remove the picture from your gallery.


s4 mini SD card makes battery drains fast?

There are known issues with certain SD cards causing some read/write errors which prevent your phone from entering the deep sleep state. This causes your phone to drain battery fairly quickly as compared to a phone which goes into deep sleep when not in use.

You should update your phone as certain kernels have also been known to fix battery drain issues. If it doesn't help, consider changing to another sd card from another manufacturer.

Switch off your Nexus S, press volume up & power to enter fastboot mode
Command to flash: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-crespo.img
Boot to recovery (e.g. via fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-crespo.img)
Enter a shell into the running CWM: adb shell, from there mount a tmpfs file system (used just for the update): mount -t tmpfs none /sdcard (This circumvents the sdcard completely, you don't need to format anything)
Push the ROM image to the tmpfs (adb push cm-10-20120827-NIGHTLY-crespo.zip /sdcard/)
Install this via CWM (the regular way)
Follow the remaining usual steps (GApps, wipe, etc.)


How to change marshmallow notifications and viberation setting

The vibration is part of the notification, so if you turn the notification off, you don't get the vibration. You need to turn notifications back on. If your phone is in vibration mode then the notification will make your phone vibrate instead of making a noise, without you needing to change anything else. Even if your phone is in noisy mode, you can change the options in each app individually so its notification only vibrates without playing a sound.


Why does Better Battery Stats say my Galaxy S4 is awake 100% of the time?

Buggy firmware. Restarted and problem went away.


Can I somehow unlock my phone's bootloader or root it?

I have the developer edition of Ghost, so never had this problem with unlocking the bootloader.  Did you try RockMyMoto?  You probably have the camera patch by this time, so this might be the method you need.

If that works, I suggest you flash one of the 7.1.2 ROMs over there at XDA after you get TWRP 3.1.1.  Mine is rocking Xperience right now.  Your phone will thank you :)


Phone Screen Blackouts and respond only to Power Key Long Press

I just switched off my phone and then reboot in Fastboot Mode using Power + Volume Down key and then chosen recovery.

In recovery mode I choose Wipe and then Format Data then typed Yes and hit Go

This will take some time and the phone will reboot and now it's working fine.

Note : Take backup of data before formatting, you can take backup by connecting phone to your PC via USB and Copying all data on PC.


Can I connect an Android phone to an external monitor, keyboard and mouse?

Samsung have a dock for the Galaxy Tab which connects it to a pretty much full-size keyboard, and props the screen in a position where it's like a laptop's screen. There are also a number of Android devices that have a video or HDMI out capability to output their screen onto a TV, often needing a special converter cable.

Bluetooth is an option for connecting keyboards, KeyPro (AppBrain Link) (Official Website) andTeksoft Blueinput (AppBrain Link) (Official Website) load drivers onto your phone to let you use Bluetooth HID to connect up many Bluetooth keyboards  (trial versions are free to test your device's compatibility, but it looks like if you want to carry on using it you'll have to pay to register to make it work fully). There are other options for loading Bluetooth HID (keyboard) drivers onto your phone if you root it.

Also, see these previous questions regarding connecting peripherals, such as keyboards and mice, to Android devices using Bluetooth.

Bluetooth keyboard with Android?
What else can Bluetooth do?
External Hardware Keyboards

From Android Honeycomb (Android 3.1) upwards certain devices, that have USB Host support built into their hardware, can attach and use normal USB keyboards and mice (with the appropriate USB host micro-USB to USB converter cable). I have occasionally plugged in used a keyboard this way on my Motorola Xoom.


Samsung galaxy note knocking off other computers wifii

Your Phone might be connecting to the Wi-FI network  using a static IP (thus knocking off whatever device is also using that same IP to connect), go to advanced settings on your connection and choose DHCP, that should fix it.


I found a rather easy solution here, but it requires Android Marshmallow 6.0:

(My Device is a rooted Nexus 7 2012 with latest ASOP 7.1.2 installed, the OTG Device is a USB-Card-Reader with a Micro-SD-Card).
I'm note sure if you need root for these commands.

Connect your OTG-Device, then run the command in a Terminal-Emulator (like this one) directly on your device:

sm set-force-adoptable true

or use ADB from your pc (you'll need to install the Android Debug Bridge ADB first, see here):

adb shell sm set-force-adoptable true

After that, you should see a Notification, which ask if you want to use the storage "normally" or as adoptable storage (which would format the Usb-device). I chose the first one (without formatting), then the my OTG-Device was available like a Micro-SD-Card on my SGS5.
The OTG-Device will then automatically be mounted under /storage/0000-ffff (hex-code of your device).

Now i can choose my "new" SD-Card for Netflix Downloads. I assume Youtube offline downloads are supported now, too.

There is a Notification to "discard" your device, with that I even can disconnect the OTG-Device and/or restart my android, the next time I reconnected my OTG-Device I was able to use the Netflix Downloads again, without repeating the commands (sometimes I had to force-close Netflix first)!

With my OTG-Adaptor (Inateck OTG Hub & SD Card Reader HB3001G) I even can use OTG and charge at the same time (connect the power source to the OTG Reader first, then to your Android Device, for some reason that dosen't work all thetime)!


Scripting app that can listen on notifications

Download MacroDroid Pro from here, install it and open it. Back to settings and allow it in the following aspects:

Allow All Permissions about it in application settings
Allow Notification Access in notification settings
Allow Its Accessibility Service in accessibility settings
Allow Device Administration in security settings
Allow Usage Access in security settings and all other permissions it requests

Open it and

Click Add Macro
Notification Received Trigger and select which application you want notified for
Play Sound Action and select which sound you like notified for
Just leave an empty constraint since you want to be notified at all times or put instances to consider before the above happens
Save the macro and you're ready to go

The Macro Summary should look something just like this:

How does Android WebView Update from Google Play work?

It means that applications that use the WebView class (for displaying a web page within an app, basically) will now use the Chromium version of WebView and thus render things the same way Chrome does, rather than the old way.  This also allows it to be updated so that any rendering/other errors can be fixed, instead of you permanently being unable to see/use certain pages or elements within WebViews.

And yes, the old Android browser has been replaced by Chrome as the default bundled with Android.

DLNA device is requesting access to media files on your phone

Very likely nothing at all got hacked. DLNA is a standard used for devices like phones, smart hard disks, smart TVs, and PCs to browse and share media files (videos, photos, and music).

It looks like your phone came with a DLNA server to make it easier for you to play/show media files on (for example) your TV. Normally, you'd go to a menu on your TV of connected DLNA media sources (devices offering media sources), and select your phone. Your TV would then connect to the phone to get a list of what media files it has, and this warning would come up before the phone responds, to check that this is a device you were expecting (and not, say, someone's laptop on the Wi-Fi network in Starbucks).

If you've identified this device as your laptop, then it must be some software on that that's making the request. It's possible that it is malware running on the laptop, but more likely, it's some normal media-player or photo-manager software. Even if you haven't explicitly told it to scan for files on your device, it simply be trying to connect to your device when you are browsing for an unrelated media file, or indexing in the background to help you find files more easily in future.

If you've left the DLNA server in your phone turned on while travelling, then you certainly aren't paranoid about security. It defaults to on to make it easier to use - most people would never realise it was there to turn on - but it's safer to leave it off until you actually want to use that feature.

How to root cyanogen OS? (On Wileyfox swift)

Simply by flashing SuperSU.1 There's a thread at XDA explaining the steps:

download SuperSu
save it to your external sdcard
enable developer options (settings - about - click mutliple times on the build number)
enable OEM unlock in the developer options settings on the device
reboot Wileyfox Swift into fastboot mode: with the device powered down, hold the Volume Up and connect USB
to unlock the boot loader (WARNING!!! This wipes your user data!!!), type from your computer:

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot -i 0x2970 oem unlock-go
fastboot oem unlock-go

download latest recovery image from Cyanogen
to boot the custom recovery, on your computer type

fastboot boot <name_of_recovery>.img

install supersu update zip from recovery menu (choose zip from extenal SD)
reboot and enjoy root access

Note that steps 6 and 8 require the matching drivers being installed on your computer if you run Windows.

Updating a rooted Swift

Also note that "incremental updates" are no longer working with the device rooted. Please see how to update rooted fox at XDA for alternatives. Each of those updates will probably break root, so you'll have to repeat the above procedure after each update to regain root access.

Alternatively, you can also switch from CyanogenOS to CyanogenMod, which includes root access.

1: Note that's not the latest version – but the one reported working at the time of that post. The always latest version is available here.


Well I think I panicked too soon. It was slow because it needs to sync and index all the media files and may be some other sync. I found it out from one of my friends and also experienced it after seeing my media files (video, music etc.) getting added to the list one by one. When I upgraded to ICS there was no media in my device, so it was ready with full performance. And since my phone is overflowing with media now, it was taking some time and running the media sync in the background.

So if you're facing the same problem, just give it a day or two to sync completely, before you try factory reset or downgrade.

PS: I've contacted Sony's customer care and they said that a downgrade can be done at any Sony service center without any charge. Just FYI.


Attempting to brute force Android security pattern through TWRP via adb

After a while I figured out what the problem was, with a freshly flashed phone. Here I'll be answering my own question.

  Does the twrp decrypt command output something else when decryption succeeds?

Yes, it outputs something like:

Attempting to decrypt data partition via command line.
Data successfully decrypted
Updating partition details...
...done

  Does successfully decrypting create a block device at /dev/block/dm-0, which I can probe for?

No.

  Should I wait a few seconds after each attempt before probing for success?

-

  Is there some sort of hidden timeout (required to wait 30 seconds after attempt)?

Yes, very important! About 10 seconds. Consecutive attempts within that time frame fail with no warning whatsoever.

  Is there another method I can use to probe for success?

-

So, consecutive attempts to invoke twrp decrypt must have at least 10 seconds between them or else they will fail. So, the only thing that was wrong with the developed tool, is that I didn't implement this timeout.
