[Q]Google Dialer on NE1

I have been trying for two days to get the Google dialer to work on my Galaxy S3 running 4.4.2 rooted with towelroot. Tried everything I know except for flashing the zip because I don't yet have a custom recovery. Any help would b appreciated. My guess is that it's conflicting with touchwiz.

Sorry about my delay. Yepppp cant seem to get it to work, im guessing it's to do with the samsung framework. Ive gotten to a point where I can get it to launch but contacts wont show and calling will cause the app to crash despite also including the callui and callprovider apks. Forgive me if my description is a little inaccurate as im not looking at my phone at the moment

Found the answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542081

themes=lag?

hey guys, yesterday i bought a new galaxy S6, so far everything is smooth and fast, i heard that applying a theme can cause lag...is this true? because if it does then i dont wanna change my stock theme...

Is it really that hard to apply a theme and test it yourself? Some people are really ridiculous...

no its not hard, but if someone already tried that then they can give some feedback...if you cant help then do not comment

I mean, you have the phone in hand right? You couldnt take the 5 seconds out of your time to try it yourself? Instead you thought it'd be better to be ridiculed as you wait several minutes, even hours or days until someone tells you something you could have confirmed yourself?

Maybe he's afraid once you change themes, even if you go back, the lag will stick.
Why is everyone on xda so damn quick to bash people for asking questions?

just like the two guys above me said...i have my reasons to ask...and again if you cant help then do not comment...i am not waiting for people like you to help...i am not new here...and every time i ask something they answer....

Installing a theme causes a bunch of lag during the install process itself (under the covers there are like 20 apks getting installed). I've always applied themes right after installing them, so any for any lag after that it's hard to say if it's left over from the install or is from the application. In any case, after a reboot I haven't noticed any lag.

how long do you have your phone? because on pocketnow.com they said there S6 started lagging after a week with a theme...and they made a poll about this...they think its because of the themes....

Tried Kingroot, it didn't work.
By the way, the more people run Kingroot from an Xperia XA, the more they'll try to find a root strategy (it says so on the app, and they're obviously keeping track, so far 114 have tried from the Xperia F3116).

If the x range uses drm-verity which I think all late 2015 onwards Xperia devices onwards do now then it'll be like the z5 range root on unlocked Bootloader only I think. If this is the only way to get root if it'll be even possible on the xa and other x devices looks like I'm going back to stock when i get mine, my M2 is rooted and heavily modified always has been but I refuse to use kingroot.

Kingroot can be removed and replaced by SuperSU you know, after rooting. At least that's what I did on Xperia Z3 Compact. I never left stock by the way, and kept bootloader intact. Now it remains to be seen if Kingroot or anyone will ever be able to root the XA safely at all.

Yes it is according to some the wifi bug has been fixed some are getting 4hrs sot time with ease Bluetooth may have the same problem according to some also depends on how the device is set up try doing either a factory reset or software repair via Sony pcc you need to start with the latest firmware on a totally clean install. Root is probably gonna be a while as someone needs to build kernel+recovery if drm-verity is in use it'll be unlocked Bootloader root only x range not supported by kingroot either for now

And I'm telling you that didn't fix my problem. I realize now that my use of it was ambiguous. The problem was not remedied by the software update which they provided is what I should have said.

Have you even tried any of the above and gave it time to settle down and go through a few cycles. Try posting on the xa Sony support forum the problems/bugs in the thread they have going on, they were quick enough to fix the wifi bug and the more people that report back there with the problems the faster they'll get it sorted.

Yes. As I said, it did not work. I tried it. A few cycles at this point means 1 day.

That I find very hard to believe only trying to help guess you've just come to moan I'll save my knowledge and help for someone who wants it without a attitude

I do appreciate the attempts at help. I didn't come to moan, I came to ask for a root, which as you and others pointed out isn't ready yet. You're welcome to believe what you want about the power issue.

Sorry but plenty of people are far too quick to just come on here like we all know the answers to everything and thinking they know better you'd be surprised how many people will swear they have tried everything, I know from personal experience that a factory reset and or a software repair/ftf flash via flashtool wiping the phone can do, most people try and do it without totally wiping the data it can also take upto a week for a device to settle down after updates ect. Sony know about the major bugs and are working on fixes that I know and sony are better than most other oem's regarding updates and device su, root will take a little while I think it is just to new yet try getting other x/xa owners emailing kingroot support for device support not that I'd use it myself, i hope I can help move things on a bit when I get mine next week

On the plus side it's supposedly really easy to unlock the bootloader (it's a setting in the developer options)

No that only makes it possible to unlock the bootloader you still have to do it manually after that. Should not be that much work though.

Lets discuss what we can do with our rooted V20!

Hey guys,
Its been a while since I rooted my phone (I've been using Samsung phones with locked bootloader) and it sure feels good to be back!
Now, I've been out of the loop for so long that I don't know what I should do next with my rooted V20!
I would love to have you guys come in here and discuss how we can make our V20 even better!
Thing's I've done so far.
Install Adaway
Remove Bloatware using titanium backup (is there better way to remove bloatware beside titanium backup?)
So far I removed all the TMobile apps, is there anything else I should remove that will improve the battery life?
Thanks and lets get this thread going! :good:

I hear ya, I was on a S7 Edge and a S6 before that. It has been a while. With that being said, LG stuff can mostly go....unless you use it. It doesn't seem to be too bad, so you might be able to leave them. Download Better Battery Stats and see what is causing any wakelocks that can be prevented.

Has anyone managed to get rid of Lookout? I hate that thing and want it gone.

Might want to FREEZE apps instead of uninstalling until a viable stock restore is available

Adblocking for sure. Should help improve battery life a hair by not downloading data for ads and processing them to be shown.

I smell a brick about to happen. Way too fast....How would you recover ? Be careful people.....Paperweights are not fun
I just read somewhere At&t has a locked bootloader...Figures

From what I've read, TWRP isn't doing proper nandroids, and there isn't a stock image to flash. At the risk of sounding "elitist," I'd recommend going slow.

At&t didn't even have the HTC 10 when I went in. The good days are dying....Root, I will miss you

I haven't gotten the phone yet (though LG store has already called me that I can get it already just been busy due to all saints day festivities) so wanted to ask, how did you root your v20? and what version is your V20?

So your saying LG doesnt have an app to reflash to stock FM? i see threads for the stock T mobile firmware. What about the nandroid issue with twrp do you know where the github repo is for our version of twrp i'll check it out.

I know what's in the root thread in the development section.
Is this what you're looking for?
The problems with the .tot files in a nutshell.
I'm not a dev. I can bearly muddle my way around ADB commands. I know what I know from watching the struggles in the root thread. Yeah, there's root and little else. The process doesn't seem quite ready for prime time which of course hasn't stopped the root commandos.

I CAN CONTROL THE WORLD WITH ROOT! LOL . No but really, what can't you do with root? you can do everything as long as the phone doesnt required to implement any new hardware within the phone... I like my Adaway, and greenify, and removes or freeze apps i dont like nor need, I like my pie bar for faster shortcuts (sure, the phone itself has the second screen to put up to 5 apps, but the pie bar give you a lot more options so i will have the 5 on the second screen plus the many mores in the pie bar which is a fast process too, maybe even faster than the second screen), i also like my xposed for every module i desire, AND MY BELOVED TITANIUM BACKUP! and many many more things

The one thing I hope and pray to see come from this newly acquired root is a camera mod that will allow 16MP in full 16:9. Please pull through devs! I would donate for that :highfive:

That's likely because the sensor isn't 16:9 shaped, it's 4:3. You have to crop the sensor to get 16:9.

Bluboo Dual | ROOT

Hi Xda,
i got myself a bluboo dual, ok phone for the price ill say, but well im a bit annoyed to see that there is nothing on how to root it yet, anyone have information on which twrp i could use on it ? for information the device is on mtk6737T.
Kind regards

Me too still waiting

Hey, I have one as well and seem to be in the same situation as you. In Kingroot you can send a request to for them to work on a rooting process within the app. I suggest you download Kingroot so you can add yourself to the list of people who requested!
On YouTube there is a video called "How to ROOT Any Android Device Without A Computer |One Touch Root (2016)" by user The Android Guy that shows you how to get that installed on your phone.
Have you had an issue with the weather app installed on the phone giving you ads? I've run many anti malware apps and it says that it is a malware as well.. I guess we have to thank Blueboo for that.. Anyways, I hope that there is a solution soon because I think once I am able to uninstall that app the phone will be working the way I want it to.
All the best,

About the weather app, you only have to disable it and the app ad will be gone forever. It's a good phone, a shame that it got not much community support But bluboo have done a good work with the updates.
