hi, i have the oportunity to change my first gen moto x for a new oneplus one on the preorder , what would you people say? stay with moto or swap for the one? i love my moto x with the active display and the touchless controls and i dont want to miss any of this funcionalities. could someone help me with this dificult decision because i dont want to regret changing it.
I wouldn't, but that's just me. If you can afford to keep both, why not do that instead? If the 1+1 turns out to be lacking, you'd be stuck with it with the moto x gone...and no way to get another one new or custom made via motomaker. That said, hope it works out for you, whatever you decide is best for you.
I'd ask here, Asking in either devices section will obviously get you biased opinions from fans of each...

Ok I've read this forum for days as well as many other misc. Sites found on google. I've seen tons of different recommendations and ways of rooting my 920r4. I've also noticed that the other carriers seem to have many more threads directed toward their models. Here's what I want for my phone... I just need to know which one is the best choice for my phone. I have seen the issues with deep sleep and random reboots/call reboots ect and honestly just want some feedback from you guys as to what will work best. I know this is the place I'll find it. Thanks a lot guys and gals,
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 sm-n920r4 (US Cellular)
Android 5.1.1
(If any more info is needed just let me know)
Just a bump to keep it near the top. Sorry but I really could use the advice of fellow us cellular note 5 users who have obtained root. Thanks in advance.
Well after more countless hours of searching I seem no closers to finding a way of rooting this device. Any help from the pros such as dr.Ketan or anyone who has a rooted 920r4 would be great. I just need a shove in the general direction.
I wish i could be of more help but i think you'll find you need someone who has a sprint rooted kernel to slightly adapt it to usc. Sprint and usc and extremely close in how their kernels and such work and in the general infrastructure design of their networks. Also see if there's anything on teamuscellular's forums.
I used to have usc and i always had the best luck working with sprint stuff with slight changes for usc....in the note 2 and 3 days....

Everything seemed to update smoothly except one of my most used features, the mobile hotspot on Nex6. When I enable it it reports as an "error". Any help?
Flash the ex kernel, as recommended in the thread, for hotspot to function..

Flash the BlackBird kernel. His latest is as good as it gets.
Thank you to all who put a little time and thought into helping someone out. I guess the new normal is the others who have more time to critique the subject of a question instead of simply providing a little knowledge.
Owning a Nexus device period is enough to belong to a community of people who enjoy learning about development and Android OS and the capabilities of smartphone technology. Most of us learn from trial and error or researching the internet.
Basically I'm sick of trolls who think they are the public internet forum police, lashing out at anyone who might have a question that boosts egos which hide behind the screen of anonymity. Normally I can look past these acts but sometimes you just want to use the app or site for information, questions and answers.

I have been using Pure Nexus 6.0.1 for near 2 years now so I didn't even think to read in detail. The title made it seem stable enough. I knew there was an simple fix. I sincerely appreciate the time and answers.:good:

Thanks, I wasn't aware a different kernel had to be flashed, everything seems to be working now.

Please don't take this the wrong way... Is not that people don't want to help, it's that some people don't search before posting a question. I've seen people ask a question where the answer was posted 1 minute before they asked the question. I've seen the same question get asked and answered multiple times on the same page. When you've been in a thread long enough you will see the same thing and you will say "I see what they're talking about". Me, I see the same questions, but I don't answer them with smart remarks. I just stay quiet. I've learned to search first, or wait and my problem will surely get asked about from someone else. Enjoy your phone.. And keep asking questions when you don't know the answer.

Well when I'm searching for one simple answer and I see that there's thousands for posts, then the simpler solution for myself is to post a question. My issue may be different than someone else's. Regardless of any excuse I may have I still do not understand what you want me to do. Why do you feel you have to correct the way I use a site in a way that does not affect you whatsoever. It takes the topic away from a tech question and makes it about your opinion , that's not why I posted the op. Thankfully there's those who are on here that will post a solution.
So now that I've taken a few minutes to address your concern the same way you have, when it's all over and done we have both just wasted our time. I am gonna take a guess and assume that you probably share your opinion on what you disagree on with other users. Its pointless unless the point is to get a reaction from people

Just so you know I will be logging out of XDA forums because the amount of troll activity is not even worth the simple questions answer. Btw I research way before I even consider asking someone. I posted in the ****ing Nexus 6 general troubleshooting, and I'm pretty sure my question met the requirement. You should be grateful that people like myself even use XDA at all for any information, there is only millions of other sites who offer the same info.

Again.. No disrespect intended... And I do love to debate( my wife says that I get on her nerves). I don't consider our conversation a waste of my time. I appreciate the fact that you addressed it. Yes, you can post your way, speak freely, burn the flag, carry a weapon, rush an old lady across the street, or use politically incorrect terms if you want. I agree with your right to do it your way.
People would rather spend hours debating and telling you to search for a similar post instead of giving you 5 minutes of there time helping you. Welcome to XDA!
I had the same question as you regarding mobile hotspot. I went into the development thread, I clicked "search this thread" at the top, typed "mobile hotspot", and had my answer quicker then typing a new question.
I just got off the phone with Motorola and they confirmed I was accidentally shipped a factory test model.
I don't even really know what all I can do with it. I can't unlock the bootloader (it was an early Christmas present) as it's an Amazon "exclusive" device... But Motorola wants me to contact Amazon so they can start processing it for return to Moto.
I don't know if I necessarily want to send it back, just yet. I have until Jan 31, 2019 to make that decision. I saw a post on Reddit where a guy sold an OLD (first gen) Moto X or G (can't remember) with the same testing firmware for 800$ dollars used! I'm not trying to profit from their mistake, or make any money from it.
The only modifications I do to my Androids are Root and flash customs, and being as the bootloader "doesn't qualify for unlock" from the website, it's not a priority...
Is there anyone out there that has more knowledge of these things or anyway I can contribute back to my beloved XDA developers forum with it? I suppose one would have to pm me about it... Anyway, I hope I posted this in the right spot Mod. I usually only post replies when helping other people with obtaining root. Thanks in advance everyone!!!!
PS
I'll try and post some screenshots

When we can expect Custom Roms for Asus Rog 3?
Its been a month now, Asus send ROG 3 to some developers for testing device with custom roms but sadly no news till date. Despite of Unofficial TWRP & Few Great Kernels, development for this beauty is very slow!
Hopefully soon:fingers-crossed: (good things come to those who wait)
I would love to try a stock-based ROM with a plethora of enhanced features and options.
This is a good but not a popular phone. So I guess it'll take some time before we get a custom ROM. It'll come but if the community isn't big they will not be huge support on those ROMs. I know that Asus offered the phone to some devs as Lineage OS and Dirty Unicorns, but nothing is sure they will develop anything for this phone.
Here the list of developers who got the phone

I doubt this isn't a popular phone.
Anyone who's into mobile gaming knows this kind of phones.
It's just that these gaming phones are highly not for everyone.
I mean, they probably saw in the mall, but:
~Mostly marketed at the same price as flagships = Expensive
~Too focused on gaming (both looks & specs), this will feel heavy to use for someone who just want a decent smartphone
Basically, these phones have its own community.

Yes, it is a niche market. So not popular as this is only for a limited amount of users interested by this kind of phone. I just look around me and nobody know this phone.
I have no doubt it is not a popular phone like a flagship from Samsung, Huawei or OnePlus. I am used to have non-popular phones as I choice my phone for it's spec and not for the quantity of bloatware offering useless options to me.

It is all I hope, but I just looked at the rog phone 2 forum yesterday and there were not that many, the support wasn't really here.
I am not in hurry to get custom ROM, as I use air triggers daily. But if one day there is a ROM developed especially for this phone with specific options dedicated to the rog phone 3.

Is there any board or group for any information about Omni? I saw the Rom for Rog 2 but there is no information or anything about that.
