Remapping game controller without rooting?

So I am able to connect my DS4 to my Note 4. I am able to fix the horrible input lag all without rooting my device.

What I can't seem to do is remap my controller to work properly. I am able to use Remote Play without issue but when I play Android games the key mapping is way off.

Now I know what I want is possible because there is one app that will do exactly what I want called Multilanguage Keymap Redfiner, however it causes massive input lag in game. Totally unusable for my purposes.

Why is it so hard to find a app to change key mapping without root?? Does anyone know of a app that will do what I need without rooting?

How to block ads without root

Since this is a vanilla android phone, the only real modification I wanted was to change the hosts file to block ads. Turns out you can do that without rooting your phone, but you DO need an unlocked bootloader.

After you're unlocked, you'll need the TWRP recovery image:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexu...overy-t3230471

and the flashable hosts file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1916098

Reboot into the factory bootloader, then into TWRP:

Code:

---

fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-bullhead.img

---

Start ADB Sideload in TWRP and push the flashable hosts file:

Code:

---

adb sideload MoaAB_ADBlocking_12October2015_R4.zip

---

Reboot, DON'T install superuser when prompted, and you're done! You'll still have the factory recovery, but you will get the device is corrupt message since this changes the system.

There may be an easier way to do this, but just wanted to put it out there if there's anyone else looking to do the same thing.

[Q] Phone keeps rebooting at LG logo without a charger

Hello everybody at the LG G3 part of XDA,

A friend of mine has an LG G3 and his phone broke. So he asked me to fix it. I myself am an Oneplus One user.

So the problem is really simple to explain. The phone doesn't work when there isn't a charger plugged in. When there is a charger plugged in everything is fine and the phone works normally.

So my friend tried to downgrade from lollipop to kitkat ( I don't know what he exactly did ). He doesn't have much knowledge about phones so ofcourse it went wrong.

Here is a video of what happens.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP8MUPsANes

I already did a full reset with the LG flash tool and put the stock 4.4.2 Kitkat rom on it.

I have also checked the battery and it has a normal voltage of 3.8v. My friend also told me that he already swapped the battery in a store.

I do not know anything about a stock recovery of an LG G3, but I tried to acces it and I could get in to the hard reset screen but when opted Yes for everything it got stuck in that same "bootloop". When the phone is in the Hard reset menu then it wil stay ON without a charger. In all other cases it wil stay in a "bootloop"

I asked another friend of mine who has a lot of experience with phones. He said that it might have something to do with the a file that keeps the battery in check in the bootloader or the recovery, but he wasn't sure which one.

Help! battery keeps charging on and off without being plugged in

running Darklokd 2.1 on my note 3, everything works smoothly but it keeps notifying me that it is charging even when its not plugged in, after 1/2 seconds it goes off and the repeat.
please help, I can't right on that specific thread because I'm new

Spotify Connecticut without premium?

A few weeks ago, seemingly without any reason, Spotify Connect started working on my rooted Oneplus One running stock COS 12.1. I have the normal Spotify app from the Play Store installed. I had previously installed an Xposed module which enables tablet mode in the app on a smartphone, but have since reinstalled my OS, wiping all installed apps. I have not reinstalled the Xposed module since, but tablet mode continued to be enabled on the reinstalled Spotify app. Then, as stated in the beginning, Connect suddenly started working as well. I can now remotely control other devices logged in to the same Spotify account, while the reverse is not the case, since I don't have an active premium subscription. A second smartphone, which received a similar treatment from me, does not have that capability.

So my question is, is there any known way to reliably get Spotify Connect to work on non-premium accounts using the apk directly from the play store? I would like to have this on other devices as well.

No way to skip music without unlocking phone ?

Or am I missing it ?

Screen mirroring without wifi

I have always been able to perform screen mirroring from my Android phone to Chromecast without WiFi. The initial setup required a second phone, but after that all I had to do was to enable WiFi hotspot in my cell phone, open Chromecast APP and activate screen mirroring. A few days ago Google released a new version of Chromecast APP that checks if WiFi is connected before enabling screen mirroring. This new APP made my setup not work anymore. Does anyone have a solution, other than keeping the APP in the previous version? Thanks in advance!

Options to turn screen off without hardware button that allows you to re-open?

I've tried various screen off apps and they all require secondary security to turn back on when using the fingerprint scanner. Any ideas?

Would love for an option where the fingerprint scanner can also turn the screen off or even an OK Google command, but then allows the fingerprint scanner to reopen without secondary security.

Miui 7 forces to login on first start (without internet connection)

My new xiaomi redmi note 2 forces to sign in to an account on first start, skipping this dialog is not possible. On the display there is displayed:

Thank you!
Thank you for helping make MIUI better!


I can type an Username (number-keyboard) and a Password. There is one Button to validate. Does anybody know how to skip this or which account is required to login (and how a login works since my sim card is locked and wifi is not enabled)?
Thank you

[Guide] How to get Spotify premium-features on phone without Xposed or Premium

I have searched this forum and google but haven't found anyone post it yet (even though I'm sure some people have found it out by themselves).

So, I came by it by accident when I tried to unlock unlimited skips and choosing songs on free Spotify on my Z1C but Lollipop had problems with Xposed Framework back then.

It requires rooted device which is almost only significant requirement. Second minor requirement is that you need app that can change screen resolution/DPI - I have used Resolution Changer for that matter and haven't tested others but I don't see why they would work any differently.

So, I installed Spotify, then I opened Resolution Changer. I put my resolution to 4K (yup!) - I haven't tested by how much you need to raise resolution but 4K worked for me perfectly - and then I start Spotify. After logging in (if you wasn't before) Spotify works just as it does on tablet. But this thing is not usable with that high resolution, right? Damn right it isn't. But after running Spotify with 4K resolution, I can switch back to normal resolution, then restart and Spotify still runs in tablet mode. I have been using it for months like this and it never reverted back to phone mode.

Summary:
Install Spotify on your rooted device (Z1 Compact for now)
Install Resolution Changer
Increase screen resolution by fair amount (e.g. 3840x2160)
Run Spotify and verify it is in Tablet Mode
Revert screen resolution back to normal or whatever you may want
Restart phone to fix bugs that may appear in GUI from changing resolution
Verify Spotify still runs in Tablet Mode

That is it!

Note! I only tried it on Z1C but it may work on any Xperia or even any other phone for that matter. But because I haven't tried it, I post it here, into Z1 Compact sub-forum. If it does however has been posted before then please, let me know and this thread should be removed.

Another note! It does not change Spotify app layout in any way - app will continue to work as it is on any phone, just with added features of unlimited skips and choosing your own songs to play!

s6 root without pc

Is there a root for the s6 without a pc that really works?

Living without PlayStore

So... I've searched for a similar thread, but I didn't found any so I decided to make a new one.

As I don't want to use any google services on my telephone I had to purge Play Store also. I've searched for alternatives. I came across Fdroid - actually the store I've searched for. The only problem I've faced is there are no proprietary apps. I try to reject using of proprietary software as much as possible, but many of my friends use proprietary chat apps like WhatsApp, Viber etc.
So I've searched a solution to get this proprietary apps without much tricks...just keep it simple. I came across Aptoid - another android store, but I didn't liked the idea behind very well - you can find lots cracked apps etc. and that is not what I am looking for. Second point is - all apps are outdated - so you are missing the new version of the apps and their security and performance fixes. It didn't suited my needs so I decided to purge Aptoide.

So... after a bit of research I founded another two solutions:
APKmirror - it is a website - there is no app for it. So If you want to use it you have to go to the website and download and install .apk manually (you also need to enable Untrusted Sources in your security settings). The website has very nice interface and it looks exactly as a normal appstore. I've bookmarked it and placed it on my homescreen - so it is usable - no pain in the *** at all. The packages seems to be "trusted" as the packet signature is checked with the one of the original developer. All apps are updated - you can even download beta versions (before they hit PlayStore) and if it goes wrong... you can easily downgrade to previous verions - very nice feature. This site is related to Android Police - as it is a good source in my opinion, I think the packages there are trust-able. Is there anyone who has additional info about APKmirror?

APKpure - the second solution I came across. I wasn't able to find any additional information about this source or any review so I really have no idea who is standing behind this project. Anyway... I downloaded several apps and I checked the app signature and it seems fine - every app I checked matched the original signature of the developer. There are also "Trusted" marks same as APKmirror. All of the apps are updated. It looks pretty much like APKmirror - there is no app, just website. You can easily update your applications too so it suit all my needs. Anyway... I would like to get some additional information about it... it seems to me like mirror of PlayStore but... anyone who knows more maybe?

Looking for a custom rom without the extra step >>> swipe before pattern

hi Guys,


i am still on CM11 because for me the Pattern lockscreen is perfect

some poeple know this issue

https://code.google.com/p/android/is...etail?id=79889

Quote:

The new lock screen makes it even slower to unlock your phone, and there's no option to remove the extra step. The first screen now makes you swipe up to go to the normal unlock screen (or other directions for the phone or camera). The majority of the time, I don't need either the phone or camera, so the extra step is slowing down the most common action I need to do every single time I want to use the phone. This needs an option setting so it can be disabled.

So i have a question:

Is there any Custom Rom where i can disable this annoying option ? I like tu upgrade to CM12 but i am not sure if i have to swipe before unlock my phone.


Thanks

[Q] Using SIM2 without SIM1?

IMEI 1 is gone when i bought the device, Galaxy Grand Duos. It has cloned. I don't know that i can explain, i think it's meaning same thing in English. I can use it with only mine SIM, until i buy Grand Duos. But now i bought new device and i have to solve this problem for using with another SIM.

Imei1 (SIM1) is cloned but there is no problem with Imei2 (SIM2). However i can't use both of them. I think SIM2 is connected SIM1 for working but not sure. Can i deactivate completely SIM1 for using SIM2, or change Imei's from SIM slots, is that solves problem?

Or what can i do? Sorry if can't explain my problem or can't use English true. It's my first post :) Thanks for replies.

Hotspot tether WITHOUT root

Hello,

For those of us waiting for a root option on 5.1.1, I found a great app that works as hotspot for free.

FoxFi on playstore. Has a paid version as well.

Thought I'd share.

Apps like Skype but without Frequency Cutoff?

Hi! I need to start a voice chat with someone else over android, but the audio I'm sending them is all under 250hz. Audio chat applications such as Google Hangouts and Skype all filter out these frequencies to increase audio clarity and reduce space, however it is crucial that the other person is able to hear very low frequencies clearly on their device.

Is there any app I can use for this?

Stream video to TV without using router

I have a SM-T800 and can use iMediaShare to stream video from it to my LG flat screen with no problems as long as I am connected to my home router.
I also have a TV in my 5th wheel which I would like to use to view video that is on my Tab S.
The problem (I think) is that there is no network router available in the 5th wheel to act as the access point for the TV and Tab S.
Is there a way to set up the Tab S to act as the "router" for the TV to connect to?
I have tried "portable Hot Spot" as well as VPN that comes with Android 5. Cant get either to work.
Any suggestions?
