No need for money. I will use Team Viewer if you can give me a little bit of time. I have a couple of HW assignments to complete. Should be more than 2 hours. Work for you?

Just use this it is so easy easy a cave man can do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706411

+++++1...This method makes it a joke.

Damn, why didn't I think about using this to get help??.....
Oh wait, I actually learned something...

I wish i could, but for some reason when the command prompt comes up, the initial push that should take a few mins, takes about 2 seconds for me, and then the screen goes red, i push a key and it goes away.

This kinda crap doesn't contribute and ruins the forum experience. Ask yourself,.. why? Why say anything?
...Grow up.

@theOP, you started an identical thread in the QA section, please don't double post.
U said you're using win7? Are you opening your command prompt "as administrator"?

I got the same question as Daugusta12
I want to root, NAND unlock, and get the Aloysius color theme ROM but I don't want to brick my phone in the process so if anybody knows how to flash it over in simple steps in a video or something let me know.

Don't forget to enable USB Debugging...I had the same problem as you describe until I realized I hadn't re-enabled it after a hard reset.

App for restarting phone

Is there an app which can restart the phone but without rooting the phone..

Why do you need that ? Just press and hold the power button for a few second, the Phone options will pop-up, just choose restart to restart the device.

look at the first app in the list dude. You just might have to actually READ the Apps description. other than that you have to root.

This application does not actually reboot it just refreshes the phone..it's not even close to rebooting I am using this app from par three days it's basic function is to free up the space in RAM..try it out u'll know

Why do you even need to reboot your phone that much?

You could Quick Boot if you wish. Can also reboot straight to recovery and bootloader. Unfortunately I can't link to it as I've only recently joined XDA.

I dun reboot that much..Just once a day..but I dun want my power button to get depressed because I have to rely on unlocking on the same button..which gets pressed quite a lot of times...
Also if you could suggest me some widgets or apps that can help me to lock my phone..I used extended controls which was not a great experience because when I unlocked the screen remained black till I switched on to some other application ..

I don't think it will harm the proximity sensor, it just that I don't like to see a red light on the proximity sensor light up when using this app as I guess it use more battery...and that's maybe the reason why they have a time-out to kill the app after certain time. Once the app is killed, you still need to press power on. Anyhow, this is my personal opinion only, nothing against the app; I maybe wrong.

Thanks tell me since when are you using this phone??do you find your power button by any chance pressed inside even a little??Also I dun think that it uses much battery as the Statistics posted by the App developer state..it would be great if someone would throw some light on it though..

Since Apr 3rd, two days after the HOX officially launched in my country. Do not really notice that, maybe because I seldom use the power button as my device is rooted, using quick boot for reboot, reboot to bootloader & recovery, swipe to power on and so on.

Why are you even rebooting once a day? It isn't necessary and will solve all of your problems.

Unlock while at home

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good app for unlocking the tablet while connected to your home's WiFi? To be clear I would still like a lockscreen, but be to have it that when I leave home it goes back to being pin protected. I tried tasker but it can only disable the lockscreen completely, and while I would settle for that, I was wondering if anyone here knew of a solution! Thanks

Easy to do with Tasker. Best money you will spend if you dive into it. You can make your devices do anything you want.

I couldn't figure out how to make it only unlock but leave my lockscreen there (like it doesn't go straight to home screen when I press unlock button) do you know if that's possible ? I looked around rather quickly because if it didn't have it I wanted to be within refund period :S

Check out this link http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57478334-285/the-most-practical-creative-ways-to-use-nfc-with-your-android-device/ . Came across it on FB and just watching the vid showed some of the possibilities for the NFC chip and I think it will do what your looking for.

Seems interesting.. I think the main problem is that disabling security and and leaving lockscreen is not an option sadly so like, it's all or nothing :/ I could live with that I suppose haha but kinda sucks

Have you seen this app? It does exactly as you want and works great, I've had it, and its great

it doesn't support patterns, the only lock I use. PINs and passwords are too slow to enter every time.

Try "Settings Profile" on the app store. Similar to tablet but much easier to use. I use it to do exactly what you describe.

I'm going to treat myself to some NFC tags to see if that will do it

It's basically a bunch of Tasker tasks already programmed. Taller is more powerful, but harder to learn.

Double press power button to launch camera

Okay, call me crazy, but I am positive that that shortcut was not present before. I have the latest security patch, no root, no bootloader unlocked, no custom rom. I double pressed it and the camera launched. I don't know if it has to do with hiding the stock Sense Home screen via adb. I don't know what I did. I don't find a setting or anything in the entire system.

Well, Nexus phones have had that for a while, Samsung too (with the home button). I just find it random that it randomly appeared on my 10, no mention of it anywhere.

Now that you mention it, I remember someone on the Viper10 thread requesting it, and saying it was available on Nexus. I have never owned a Nexus phone myself; only Nexus tablets; but the new Pixel line is certainly intriguing.

It's a nice feature, fastest camera shortcut, imo. Somehow, I am the only one to have it naturally. I asked LlabTooFeR on Twitter and he doesn't know about it, said it could be a "bug".

I don't know. It randomly appeared.
But Like I said, I hid the Sense Lock Screen for it to be replaced with the AOSP Lock screen. (no root, no boot unlocking, no tricks, no hacks)

Thing is, it works on any screen, any app. I'd tie it more to the Lock screen if it only worked there, but nope. Works everywhere. I can record a video to prove it.

I have only tried some apps but don't work

Yeah, I read it somewhere, it's one of the effects of disabling the HTC Lockscreen. Having the stock Android Lockscreen enables that double press shortcut.
I have a question too though, does the fingerprint scanner work on the Stock Android Lockscreen?

Screen Shot any Screen

Does anybody know of an app that will allow our rooted Pixels and Pixel XLs to capture any screen - including ones like bank app screens, pharmacy app screens, etc.? I think I had this on my HTC 10, but maybe it was accomplished via XPosed. Thanks!

Apologies. I only just realised now when I tried on a credit card app.

Yep. One of my recent phones had development for an app that would capture anything. Pharmacies, credit cards, banks, etc. won't work with the normal process.

I would never take this risk.. if you allow and app to take screenshots of sensitive apps the can virtually steal all your information as your giving it overlay permissions. There is a reason why is not allowed. And I wouldn't recommend you use a third party app and give them the power to look over all your sensitive information..

I understand the risk. I'm not talking about doing this on a daily basis. It's just handy NOT to have the limitation. It has been done, and I think I used it on my HTC 10. Maybe it was via Xposed like I said earlier. What's the likelihood we can do Xposed on the Pixels soon?
