Does anyone happen to have a save file that they can upload? I was on level 10 and then had to restore my device to stock/unroot/relock to return it. I did back the files and system data up using Titanium Backup but, when I restored my apps on my new N7, the save data wasn't there as I had thought it would be. Now I'm really dreading having to catch up to where I was. If you've played the game, you know how frustrating (but extremely entertaining at the same time) it can be to level up and move along in the story. Ten levels is a ton (or seemed to be a ton) in the game. So if anyone is around that point in the game and can upload a save file here, I'd really appreciate it. I don't know where else I could have posted this, so if the devs would like to move it somewhere, I wouldn't mind.
I had the game, I was over lvl 10, Already going for the boss, then a huge enemy kille dme in 3 hits, u bought new health kits and the app crashed so I had to start from the elevator again which is very hard, I don't know if you got to that part and I got so frustratec that i uninstalled the app.
Seems like you have to buy a whole bunch of items to have a decent game play or you will be doing more diying than anything else after you defeat the "white witch"

Apparently there's some cheats that give you a ton of money, so there are options out there. Personally, seeing as the game was free, I'm not going to complain about IAPs. I still find them annoying and would rather pay a set price for the game, but as long as it's free I'm not complaining. But I was just about the face the white witch with enough experience to possibly beat her. And now I might have to start over again. It sucks.

That is true, but the way I see it, you can pay about 7 bucks for a premium membership which gives your a bunch of coins, money, and other stuff that as you go further in the game you will notice you will need.
The game is designed to incited you to spend money on it, I spent like 2 bucks to buy medic kits but the game was just bugging too much in the pause menu and store menu and the further you go the harder the enemies to the point where it is almost impossible for not saying impossible to go from one level to the boss without using a bunch of bombs, or medic kits or very expensive accessories.
The game is good, the story line and graphs but I personally might not play it again unless I can get video out and use a controller which I doubt will even happend.
I was wondering (like many did before me, it seems) why the hell I needed to unlock my phone to change profiles by NFC, when it's way more convenient to simply touch my trouser pocket with the NFC token I have in my car to toggle +bluetooth/+data/-wifi, or simply leave the phone over the NFC sticker on my desk I when I arrive at work to do the opposite (-bluetooth/-data/+wifi).
I searched gerrit in case anyone was working on it and saw this:
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/21785/
so we won't see it in CM, it seems
Now, what's the worse thing that could happen if NFC is enabled at all times? When I swipe an unknown NFC tag the phone does nothing (besides telling me).
I decided to compile my own CM10 KANGs from now on with a patched NfcService.java (running great right now), but I'd like to know of any vulnerability I might have overlooked.

If someone steals my phone they will be able to unlock it and use google wallet anyway if I set my profile lock screen to "unsecure", which would be no different than setting NFC to "always".
Google wallet wouldn't be an issue since it requires a Pin number to unlock it to use it. I would worry more about battery drain and rouge apps. Someone could in theory bump upload an app and run it. Other then that I don't know.
Pretty sure the dude trying to NFC harmful stuff to your phone will have to dry hump you first to get close enough
Proximity is somewhat an issue, however there are some places where such activity might go completely unnoticed (packed subway or train as examples.)
Also, if NFC being always on becomes a "normal" thing, or at least expected on some level, it won't take long for better methods of exploiting it to be developed.

So no real danger if you're not paranoid, then. Good to know. A pity we won't have it in CM; I don't see any problem if it's off by default and there is a warning when you enable it.

Some dudes have already used NFC to gain access to a locked gs3 and and upload a trojan automatically and then they have full control of the phone and can have u call premium numbers or whatever the hell they want. So yes there is danger just not likely ATM but in a couple years who knows. When Trojans first came to PCs u didn't really have to worry about it but now u have skids running rampant and I wouldn't be surprised if that happened to android.

In a controlled environment. Maybe if your live in New York and frequent the subways and stuff (ie: environments where people get packed together) you have a slight chance of it happening. If you are in those situations, turn NFC off. Otherwise, NFC has a working range of a couple cm's, so in all other cases the guy trying to trojan you will have to get so close that you'll be wondering what the hell he's trying to do.

Hypothetically, someone could stick some NFC tags in places that people are likely to brush up against or set a purse nearby. Sure the tags aren't free but it would only take one hit to make that back.
Yeah it's still kind of a paranoia thing, and extremely unlikely unless NFC on while locked becomes commonplace. If someone thinks they can make a buck doing it, it will be done.
You say that because we are on this topic but the truth is if a guy "accidentally" bumps into u somewhere the last thing u think is he is trying to trojan u. U would prolly let it go and say learn to walk or something similar under ur breath. And then ud be "pwned" by some stupid 1337 skid.

True, I just wouldn't live in fear of it since the chances are really low. I always leave my NFC off unless I need it anyways, so its a non issue.
And I agree completely, just wondering in a few years how much more stuff like this will increase.

Show us the link to this. You're either bull****ting or remembering incorrectly. When a stock GS3 is locked, NFC is off; this would not be possible whatsoever.
I made a change, but now NfcNci.apk isn't getting built. How I can just build NfcNci.apk so I can see the build error?
Thanks.

I would like to start watching some movies on my note 2. I don't want to download them to my device. I was thinking of using drop box and a program which puts dvds as a file. It takes a rather long time and I would rather not want to do this every time. Is there a website or something that allows you to Stream your own movies for free?
most movies nowadays come with ultraviolet copies. if your dvds don't then try setting your computer up as an ftp server and host them yourself

if you were trying to "share" movies over your own home network, like watch movies that were on a home computer in another room, that would be easy. Stupid easy. Set your folder with movies as "shared" over the network, use something like BubbleUPnP player, or even XBMC for Android (quite a bit more complicated to set up, but Way Worth it, once you set up the library and shares) to browse and watch. (with XBMC, I woiuld set it up on the host sys, set up the libraries and metadata there for sharing over the network.)
if you are trying to "share" movies over the internet (from your home, I assume?), for you to watch when you were out at another location, well that's a hobby unto itself, and outside the scope of what you could expect here at XDA. Learning how to set up a "real" server (FTP, SMB/CIFS), takes time and (at least self-) education. People get paid to do that kind of stuff, right? Worth learning, if you have the time. But I don't have the time to even teach you the basics. There are no basics.
Not to mention most likely your bandwidth upstream from home, on most IPSs, is not very great. I wouldn't want to stream anything but standard definition vid files, And it might "kill" the internet use for anyone at home.
But for fun, here are some basic solutions and/or information for you to explore, get started. If you start to play around with networking, you'll quickly become a "computer genius" to family n friends. :

I use Remote Media Center from the play store. In conjuction with remote potato server app running on your home computer to serve your media. RMC will utilize MX player to handle the video playback on your phone. (Install MX player). I've been using this setup for almost a year no problem. I've got tons of video and pictures, music I don't need to carry with me.

I downloaded this after seeing your post and have watched every new movie from 2012 I'd wanted to see but wouldn't pay $20 to go sit in a theater full of morons crunching popcorn, slurping soda, texting, talking and making my night miserable what a waste. I haven't been to a theater in 2 year's or so cause of that crap. Price is too high to go watch a movie that you miss half of from the rude idiots acting like they're sitting on their own couch and didnt just pay a small fortune to be there. I can't quite figure out why the prices have gotten so high its not like the theaters have gotten any nicer or more private. I could see a price increase if they weren't packing 200+ people in a 150'x150' room im seats where you're practically sitting on each others lap.

it's basic economics. wherein a business is not considered successful unless there is measurable Growth in profits to show to investors every year. (ie: "how can we squeeze more money from our customers while bringing production costs down/delivering less, and do it better than last year?") theaters have become the worst experience you can have for $15, hands down.
if it wasn't for IMAX, i wouldn't go to theaters at all. even then, at home i've got excellent surround sound, 55" screen. and i get to take pee breaks. and i make way better snacks than Regal. (you haven't lived until you've had my open-faced chopped steak and provolone sandwich)
and people wonder why i'm a verified, unrepentant, and proud pirate. over 700 movies in my collection, and counting. (not to mention TV seasons... and hundreds of thousands of songs...) that's why I maintain a robust server in my basement. any bit of my media collection is accessible by any terminal in the house.
call me a hypocrite if you like, but i never pirate software. and verbally slam those that do. *shrug*

My son is 15 and I believe that he is becoming enslaved to porn. He comes home and heads straight for his room only coming out to eat. He says that he is watching youtube but no one spends 5 to 7 hours watching Youtube. He used to spend considerable time playing video games on his laptop. Now he just lays under the sheets looking at his phone with his headphones on. This could be very serious. I had a friend in junior high who became addicted to porn and developed a serious mental disorder. He didn't leave his bedroom for nearly 10 years.
I finally took away his phone. I want to inspect it just to see exactly what's going on. It has a lock screen pin and I don't know the account information although I may be able to gain access to it to unlock the phone from device manager. I really just want to find out what other options I have to get into his phone before I do a hard reset and attempt a Google Account Bypass hack. I need to install a monitoring apk like Cerberus to exact more control over his phone as well.
I'm not trying to get access to a phone that I'm not authorized to. And I understand that I can't prove that either but any information about what I can do to help my son would be awesome.
The phone is the LG G4 VS991 with Android 6.1
Not sure I can help you with the phone, but why don't you talk to your son instead? Confronting him and taking away his phone may not be the best way to deal with this. Kids nowadays unfortunately have access to porn from many places, phones, computers, tablets, etc. And if it's not their phone, it's one of their friends'. So taking away the phone may not get you very far, it probably just undermines any trust relationship he has with you.
So see if you can find out by talking to him what is really going on with your son, and see if you can make him understand that he needs to control himself. Also I think a lot of people watch porn, and rarely it turns into a serious mental disorder. He is a young teenage boy, his carnal desires are taking over, but I can understand based on your past experiences that you don't want this to turn into a problem.

Really don't do it this way. Technically it may be possible but don't break the trust you have with your son.
I cannot tell you WHAT you should do but I can say that doing it this way will make things even more worse!
This sounds more like a problem need to be solved another way.
...and keep in mind that he is in an age where porn becomes very interesting. The most important step is taken when he has a real girlfriend where he just do not needs those videos anyways.
But nevertheless this discussion is nothing for this forum..

Thank you both for your thoughts. On not the best dad in the world and I know that. I will consider other options. Thanks again.

Might be watching Netflix, downloaded TV series, listening to music, watching YouTube. This is not proof of a porn addiction at all.

See, that's the thing. You *aren't* trying to access a phone you're not authorized to. You're his father so you have every right to check his activity. However, why can't you just sit him down and have a good talk? Why go behind his back and set the wrong example? He'll only feel distrusted and will be deterred from coming to you when he might want to with questions or issues.
I don't think it's a bad idea to simply ask him what he does on his PC, maybe he can show you what he's doing. Maybe he has a new interest you could share. And maybe it is porn, but then at least you can have a healthy conversation about the good and the bad sides.

Believe me, there are legions of people that do exactly this. I think it's less likely for someone to spend 5-7 hours watching porn.
Might be watching Netflix, downloaded TV series, listening to music, watching YouTube. This is not proof of a porn addiction at all.
maybe facebook whats app . youtube and yes maybe a little bit of porn. dont worry about it. as long as its not gay porn. we all go thru that. we love porn and yes when he gets a girlfriend porn will be not in priority. i watched porn LOL i have porn. who doesnt ... i want to ask the father DID YOU WATCHED PORN???
we all did. so itll be okey. but as a son when parent spies on you its worst, thats not cool. as long as its drugs i agree to know what hes doing but for porn. let him explore.

Thank you for working so hard on this device. Living in China as a non-Chinese it is really hard to get a credit card. I will be moving in about a week and have a much better job. Hope I can get a build device together and help you out. Again, thanks for all your work.

I've made this thread since other phones has one too and I've wanted to reply to your post, but I couldn't reply in that thread since we've already went off topic there .
So, you're moving to China? That sounds great. I would like to at least visit China/Japan, but I don't know when that'll happen or if it'll happen.
I'd like to know more about China and I'd like to see pics too. So, if you mind, I'd like you to keep me/us in touch with your journey .
PS: is anybody watching animes?

Visit China is almost a must for me, because I practice kung fu/wushu (north shaolin style).
Yep, I like anime (in fact, I like manga more than anime) but I rarely watch current season, most of the times I watch it later. Exceptions to that was Onepunch-man, Ushio to Tora (first cour), Overlord, My Hero Academia (first cour)... Can't remember others. Do you read manga too? I see you like FT i read it until the end

I never read manga and probably i wont since i prefer watching over reading . I havent heard about the animes youve mentioned.
Those are the animes which ive watched:
1) Yuu Yuu Hakusho - ive watched it when i was kid and it was the first anime.
2) InuYasha - ive watched it when i was kid too, but unfortunately i couldnt watch it always nor ep by ep because it was quite late at TV (i mean the time). However, im planing to watch it (probably after i finish Fairy Tail) since ive enjoyed it so much when i was kid.
3) Sword Art Online 1 & 2 - there were so moments where ive cried, especially in the ending eps.
4) Kuroko no Basket 1, 2 & 3
5) Hunter x Hunter (2011).
6) Naruto and Shippuden - ive cried at this one too (probably ive cried the most at the arc with Zabuza and Haku). Ive watched all the fillers of Naruto, but skipped some of Shippuden ones as i couldnt bear them anymore That time ive said that ill watch them someday, but i havent watched them till now and i doubt that i will.
Ive also watched Naruto Shippuuden: Sunny Side Battle (one ep) in which Itachi is cooking eggs for Sasuke and he is using Mangekyō Sharingan during cooking. It is funny af .
7) Fairy Tail - finished first season and im currently watching second season. I have that XDA avatar and signature with characters from FT because im currently watching it and of course, i like it I havent watched it for some time though and last time ive watched only 1-2 episodes because im at fillers. I dont wanna skip fillers but i also dont feel like i wanna watch them lol.
You can see my anime list by clicking on the gif from my signature and it will redirect you to my MAL list.
I have lived in China for 9 years + at this point. I am married here and have a son. Chinese language was my major at university, hence the move. I am a very white person from the US. Got bored of studying political science so decided to study a language also. Neither is very practical for a career, but it got me here.

Nicee. I don't have a MAL account, as I wouldn't update it lol
SAO and KnB I didn't read or watch. The others I did read or watch or both YYH wasn't my first anime but it was one of them. Braziilian dub was awesome, it is hard to forget it. Hunter x Hunter (2011) is probably one of the best animes I have ever seen and one the best stories I have ever read. Togashi is really a great author.
Naruto I didn't watch all the episodes, but it was the gateway to the manga, which I read entirely. Jiraya death was really sad and, for me, one the best things the author did.
I really like inuyasha and I need to finish reading it hahaha I postponed too much.
My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academi) is a very good shonen. I really recommend it to you, seen that you like good battle shonen. And Onepunch-man is a shonen super hero parody, really funny
About the video, I don't. I have only video which I do Chinese Lion Dance, but I need to find it xD
Yesterday, my Nova fall from hand on the street... I've took it off from my pocket to check the weather and it fall. I don't really know/remember how it fall because it happened so fast lol, but I guess it slipped since it's back is slippery (it fall many times in house because it's slippery, but it can't get damaged in house).
The screen got scratched, maybe not that bad though, but still... The screen is working fine, I mean I didn't have any issues, but when I touch on the scratch it looks like it's flickering in that place (dunno if "flickering" it's the right word though).
It's the first phone I've ever dropped on street... I'm not gonna repair it because I don't know what they'll replace and whether it's original or not (most likely not). Also, I'm not gonna buy a new phone since I don't even have the money for that.
So, be careful with your Nova and never drop it.
Shattered part of my screen after a night out once, results sound similar. Luckily, it is really cheap to get fixed here in China, even at the official Huawei shop. I went with a cheap shop, sure it is not original, but no cracks and works fine
I had the same =/
3 months ago, a friend of mine bachelor party and I put it out of my pocket and a second later was on the floor. It shattered in the bottom right of the screen and is working too. I have to import a screen but as it is working yet, no need to rush.

Some of you have a EMUI 5 backup to share? I'm using bluesmoothie EMUI 4.1 backup after I tried LOS and RR but I want some nougat again. I don't remember why I didn't make a backup and I the file needed to restore my original version
(so I could update from it) isn't available anymore at firmware finder.
Managed to completely brick the device, wont boot at all, nothing, no reaction. Plug into charger, no LED. My advice, do not use dd commands to over write modem partition Will see what the Huawei service center has to say. Was trying to solve an issue of my new SIM being detected, but not connecting to the network.

Did you try to use dd to write modem.img? [emoji33]

That is exactly what I did, and now it wont boot. Huawei service center said no warranty since I had my screen replaced and that I needed a new motherboard, which with their quoted price is about as much as a brand new device
Luckily, there are many other repair shops around and they say they can try to fix it and it is much cheaper. They also mentioned that Huawei service center always just swaps the motherboard and never tries to repair it.
Other choice if that fails is to buy a cheap second hand one (like screen broken) and swap the motherboard.

Wow man! Really brave to do that lol
Once, I bricked my moto x 2014 because I was testing some things with stock and other roms but I forgot that isn't a good thing to take an OTA after updating/downgrading again, because motorola didn't put flags to secure the process. In the end, my bootloader messed up and I had to buy a second hand MB and replace it, because as you said, official repair shop don't try to fix things, they just replace the MB. To sum up, I payed less than the half of the price to put a original one.

Well, it is bricked. Nothing can make it wake up. Got a deal with the shop of 500 CNY, less than 100 USD, to swap motherboard. Remind me not to dd partitions on this phone. I may have also shorted it out by using a needle to open the sim tray.
To be honest, I mostly use my phone for tinkering with it, not many people call/message/other media message to me. I just moved, bricked my phone, and my motherboard is dead on pc as well. I am in a rut with the tech at the moment. I am adventurous, sometimes it is good sometimes not.
One thing, could @#Henkate build a kernel for CAZ models? I ask, if you can't no worries, because my phone was not picking up China Telecom networks, which it should. I messed with apn, well, and modem. It might be kernel or might not be. SIM card is fine in my wife's Vivo phone and China Mobile worked fine in mine. My guess is the kernel is going for CAN and my phone is not that.
Will start again troubleshooting when my phone and new motherboard arrive.
Will now happily add that I fixed my PC. Had to strip it down and rebuild it and now it is fine.
What's up?
I've been busy with studying theory for driving exam (had it on 22 August) and I've failed... I'll try it again though.
Yesterday, my Nova got broken... I've murdered it with my own hands. I've got mad for a reason and then I was playing Naruto game (chinese game). I was losing in row and then I've got pissed off (there's lag because the game server is located in China or something). Then I've put the phone under sofa's corner and I've got on the sofa on legs and jumped once and it got scratched like in the pics attached to this post. I still don't understand how I could do such a stupid thing. There were moments in which I was more mad, but I haven't done anything.
You know, I think the fact that I've broke nova on my own is bothering me more than the fact that I don't have a smartphone.
Right now I'm typing from an Galaxy S3 Neo which is mother's phone, but I can't take it and also it has a crap screen on time (about 3h, maybe battery needs to be replaced) and auto rotation isn't working properly (there's an a workaround though).
I've seen that a new display for Nova costs about 55 euros, but it's prolly fake one and not original. But if phone is working fine with it, then I guess it's okay/acceptable... Also bringing it to a service should cost more (replacement cost or something).
Unfortunately, I don't have the money to repair it right now and prolly it won't happen that soon. I'm not even sure how much it takes to repair it, but I might ask at some services. What's sure is that I won't buy another phone. I mean, I can't even afford to repair Nova right now .
The development is stopped since I can't use the phone anymore. I know that's possible to work without it, but considering that even good devs with good knowledge avoid working on a phone which they don't own and that i have low knowledge, I don't even wanna try that.

Hi man!
This is a sad story. Some times I blame myself too, for not holding my phone right and having now a shattered screen :/ but mine isn't unusable, it is just ugly and not fine.
I bought a new display at vopsmart.com (and two tempered glass screen protector). The sum was 66 dollars, so although you don't have the money right now, I suggest you to take a look. I bought 2 weeks ago and it is already in Brazil waiting for delivery (my neighborhood have a delivery restriction - but I think that I'll receive it this week yet).
I'm sorry about the drive exam. I already took mine, 7 years ago. A lot of friends of mine didn't passed at first. Take your time, you will do it
I'm quitting physics and next year I want to begin study computer science or engineer. So I'm studying to pass the exam and I'm also learning how to program Android apps. So learning how to build rom will take a bit more time.

If you add a paypal account link in your Lineage thread I am sure people would be willing to help out. I know you have a link in your name, but maybe just edit OP of Lineage thread to say, development stopped as phone is broken, please donate to help me fix it.
I have managed to smash my screen and destroy my motherboard. I have replaced both now and the phone is working great on your latest build of LOS. Waiting until my first payday and I will be trying to put together a new PC. At that point I can have a dedicated build machine, but being paid more means more work for me now. That means my time is a little more limited.
Oh, I just found out that magisk works for devices
Magisk works? Tell me the version.
