18932 | Why isn't Clockworkmod Recovery "Sticking"? | I've tried multiple times to flash ClockworkMod recovery onto my unlocked Galaxy Nexus (LTE\CDMA variant "toro" build) device. Each time I can boot into recovery and ClockworkMod displays. However, if I completely reboot my device (boot into Android and then reboot), when I try to run recovery, my phone shows an androi... |
41833 | Why can't I use su to run under another app's permissions? | It's well-known that every Android app is its own user. I have Android Terminal Emulator installed as user **u0_a5**. u0_a5@android:/ $ whoami u0_a5 u0_a5@android:/ $ groups u0_a5 sdcard_rw sdcard_r inet all_a5 Under adb, any attempt to use the **su** command to log in as Android Terminal Emul... |
77487 | Capturing LTE(?) voice packets with Shark for Root | I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE. I installed Shark for Root but it only captures web traffic. I am assuming that LTE uses data to transmit calls as well (probably SIP) as everything is data these days, but it would be neat to see these packets and what they look like. Is there any way to do this? |
30620 | Space problem in Samsung Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300 | I've seen many questions on this site asking about the famous space problems in Android phones. None of those I've seen helped me and since none of them asked about my phone, I'd like to present a new case. I have three memories, and this is a table showing the usage: . I would like to try out some custom roms but most information I was able to find relates to the RC30 or R33. Thank you in advance, |
7665 | "My Apps" in App Market only showing SOME past downloads after a reformat? | I used to be able to go to "My Apps" and view all my past apps. Now that I've done a reformat, though, I only see a SMALL subset of the apps I've downloaded before. I thought it was supposed to show all my past downloads? |
7664 | What changed between versions of the Amazon Appstore? | The original version of the Amazon Appstore was v1.07002, and it appears to still be working fine, so the upgrade to the new version (v1.07003) is apparently not mandatory (unsuprising, given the tiny version increment). What is the difference between these two versions? Is there a release log anywhere? **Edit:** I bel... |
37160 | How does the Ubuntu Phone OS relate to the Android OS? | I've read that the new announced Ubuntu Phone OS was heavily inspired by Android, while not using Java and the Dalvik VM for its apps. However, it was also not clear whether it's a fork of the AOSP or a custom ROM (I doubt it) or just if it's conceptually inspired by Android or some part of it was forked from Android (... |
37161 | What's the difference between the galaxys2 and i9100 CyanogenMod builds? | I own a Galaxy S 2 GT-I9100 so I'm somewhat confused what the correct build is for my phone. The situation is particularly confusing since I want to try out CyanogenMod 10, which isn't listed in the available downloads for galaxys2. However, the downloads for i9100 list **only** downloads for CyanogenMod 10. I currentl... |
37166 | Lock screen when proximity sensor is covered | I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 with Jelly Bean. I would like, for, my screen to lock if proximity sensor is covered (for instance, when it is in my pocket). How can I do that? I am searching for an app as I have not found anything within the standard menu. |
41681 | Are there "end of life" plans for Android? | I am wondering if there is a schedule for Android versions or devices to reach _end of life_ some day? The term _end of life_ refers to a state when developers decide to stop supporting a certain software version with updates. I was reading a related article on _androidcentral_. So, currently Android 4.x is pretty comm... |
40557 | How to install Gmail apk on emulator (from Android Development Tools, ADT)? | I'm working on an email app for Android, and I'd like to install the Gmail apk on my emulator in order to test it. How can I do that? I have seen tutorials on how to do it on windows, but I'm working with Linux. |
40555 | wifi scan not working | I am developing a wifi scanner app. Recently I realised that my wifi scan method is not working. So when I go to wifi settings of the phone and enable the wifi, there is no visible hotspots in the list, only saved ones. (I am writing this question via wifi - so there is at least 1 visible hotspot). Even when I click on... |
40551 | Add an application to the Open With Menu | I'm using a Samsung Note II running Jelly Bean 4.1.2. I would like to add an application to the open with list. I have downloaded a photo editing app. While in the gallery, I would like to be able to select a picture and open it with this app but it's not in the list. Thank you. :) |
