[Discussion] NULL_ROM Official Q/A - FAQ- General Discussion thread

This is place where you can come and ask questions regarding support as well as any other general discussion for the Null rom. Please keep the development thread to just that DEVELOPMENT. The developer of this rom is here to develop and not here to answer your questions because you can't take the time to figure out the answer yourself. This will be a community driven thread. Therefore, if you feel something needs to be added to the OP please mention me in a post and I'll take a look
If you need to download the rom free to stop by the dev thread to download. However, if I see you ask a question in here and then go to that thread to ask the same question I will be handing out infractions. Please consider this your only warning.
On a side note, I'll be transferring the OP of this thread to a person with this device in due time. However, for the moment this needed to be created. If you are willing to take the OP from me please feel free to send me a PM. The only requirement that I would have is that you keep it updated properly.

HOW DO I FULL WIPE?
BOOT INTO RECOVERY MODE AND SELECT THE "RECOVERY" OPTION. DO THIS AFTER FLASHING THE ROM
UNABLE TO WAKE GEAR WHILE IN PHONE CALL
THIS IS CAUSED BY THE HOME BUTTON REMAP MOD, THE HOME BUTTON MUST BE PRESSED IN ORDER TO WAKE THE GEAR UP IN THIS STATE.
ONLY WORK AROUND IS TO EITHER USE THE WRIST WAKEUP GESTURE OR DISABLE THE HOME BUTTON REMAP MOD.
*NOTE* BY DISABLING THE HOME BUTTON REMAP MOD, THIS WILL DISABLE THE ABILITY TO MANUALLY LOCK THE SCREEN WHILE USING A CUSTOM LAUNCHER.
DOUBLE TAP BRIGHTNESS/SOUND TOGGLE HAS DISAPPEARED
THIS IS CAUSED BY USING THE FULL SYSTEM UI, SIMPLY PUT IT REPLACES THE DOUBLE TAP WINDOW WITH THE NOTIFICATION SHADE. BY USING GRAVITYBOX YOU CAN ADD ADDITIONAL TOGGLES LIKE BRIGHTNESS & SOUND TILES TO THE FULL NOTIFICATION SHADE.
OTHERWISE SIMPLY REFLASH THE ROM WITH THE FULL SYSTEMUI OPTION UNTICKED.

*NOTE* DO NOT DO THE FOLLOWING IF YOU ARE USING NOVALAUNCHER, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MANUALLY LOCK YOUR GEAR.
*NOTE 2* YOU CAN SIMPLY REFLASH THE ROM WITHOUT WIPING AND DISABLE THE HOME BUTTON REMAP MOD.
NAVIGATE/PULL THE FOLLOWING FILE FROM YOUR GEAR: /SYSTEM/USR/KEYLAYOUT/GPIO-KEYS.XML

Amazing. This thread is very much needed song as how the dev thread keeps getting cluttered with posts that wouldn't be there if some one would have read

Yeah this thread is an awesome idea to leave the general discussion and support issues out of the other thread.

Whenever I select "recovery" it doesn't give me an option to install the rom?
I followed the steps for the root and the add the .zip to my SD card on the phone. When I select the option for recovery it just does a system restore on it. Any help?

You need to flash twrp first

feature request
[what about to include support fpr AquaMail client?
I'm using it and I think it is the better at the moment
The developer could be interesting....

Just a quick (somewhat noob) enquiry about the Gear and what this ROM can do for it, as I'm thinking of picking up a Note3 + Gear from work (Vodafone), as the watch is free.
Firstly, I hate Touchwiz with a passion! I don't wish for anyone to read that in an angry way, but I'm really not fond of the colours, themeing, etc. of that particular UI. I much prefer vanilla Android and, as such, would look to root the Note3 and install CM or an equivalent on it.
Would I then lose any functionality of the Gear? Can the GearManager APK be installed on a non-TW ROM?
I'll need a bit of an idiot's guide for the whole thing, but it's nothing I can't research.

No. Sadly not.
Or at least not with all the bells and whistles working.

I actually am testing CM11 on my note 3 as I type. I was wondering if someone could link me to the latest gear manager so I could test how it works.

Here's 2 versions. The latest and the previous one, a lot of people are having problems with the latest, and even Samsung supposedly admitted it was bugged and they were going to release a new one. The previous version seems to work fine for people, and there's no real functional updates on the latest one anyway, so you might prefer it.
Latest version - 1.5.121601
Previous version - 1.5.120903

I couldn't get cm11 to download the necessary apks for gear manager so I restored a tw backup and backed up the apks themselves. When I went to restore them the only ones that would not restore were the weather and svoice. It is paired now with gear manager running in the notifications. Still testing out what works and what doesn't

Running 16, removed Ms. Pac-Man for running too slow on the Gear, everything's running smooth.

I have nexus 5 rooted and running null16, could anyone please point me out how to make gear manager to work?has anyone made notifications work? so far i can just make calls from it and syncs the time.I have read everywhere but nothing works so far and i can't seem to find a reliable sorce of information. If we could make something like an app and null to be modified to work with that so we lose gear manager dependency i belive that would be a game changer . Fomey i will donate something pretty soon as i allways apreciate work from people creative like yourself .
EDIT: 15 AUD for you Fomey, thank you for your work !

reboot after install of null_16
i have attempted several times now to install the null_16 on my galaxy gear. after each time i attempt to go into the recovery mode to actually install it, it reboots and resets the device. i have read numerous times to flash the null_03_TWRP2.7.tar.md5 file and i have done this with odin and received a pass at the top left of the odin program and then it reboots the galaxy gear. i then install the null_16 file on the root of the sd card directory with wondershare mobilego (left zipped as noted in several videos i have watched) after this i remove device from charging device and this is when i try to go to recovery modeto install. after getting to recovery and holding power button for approximately 3 seconds and release this is when it reboots and has reset itself. any help would greatly be appreciated and yes it is rooted with supersu. I am sure i am doing something wrong but not sure what.

Download mk7 for your country.... I don't care if you are already on it just do it! Flash with Odin then flash twrp recovery..... Use adb to boot to recovery....... Trust me it works!
Sent from my Note 3 SM-N900A rooted by Designgears

OMG i got it running!
thanks so much for all the work done with this rom... Everything seems to be running perfect...
At first i couldn't get it to flash properly... I was trying everything. Took hours to initially get the recovery going. It ended up being a driver issue and after a lot of reading and troubleshooting i was finally able to get it up and running.
One question that i have that i couldn't find the answer too... Is there any way to have the watch widget (either the stock clocks or watch styler) appear as a full screen widget without the launcher or the status bar at the top... yet keep the status bar and launcher on the other pages? I am assuming that i can't do it after reading countless of pages... Because i do like the full screen watch face.
Thanks again for all the hard work!

Installing Null_ TWRP: (Version as of this tutorial is Null_ 03 TWRP)
Thanks to fOmey for this Null_ TWRP
Installing Null_ TWRP:
Preparation:
Download Null_ TWRP - fOmey
READ THE NULL_ TWRP Original Post
Installation:
Put your Gear into Download Mode
Connect your Gear to you PC.
Open Odin
Click on the PDA Button
Locate the Null_ TWRP file and select it. (It should be a .md5 file, if it is zipped, then unzip it)
Press Start
Once it is completed it will reboot the gear.
Null Quote:
If you find the recovery is not sticking & your Gear wipes when attempting to access recovery after flashing, you must root your Gear prior to installing TWRP again & Run the following commands in ADB:
*NOTE* You will gave to accept a supersuser request popup when executing "SU" command
*NOTE 2* Probably a good idea to run this prior to first installation (To save time)
Code:
$ adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /system
# rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge
If needed "ADB" can be found here on xda - Thanks to shimp208​​

You cannot do what you are asking.... But you can set clock widget. Use Nova settings to hide notification bar, dock and scroll indicators then use gesture and button settings to create gesture to accommodate just about anything! I have swype down to open notification bar..... Swipe up open notification app.... Double tap opens app drawer and 2 finger Swipe up opens my dialer! Just set widget long press and resize to full screen. You may have to adjust colums and rows in Nova settings to accommodate whatever widget you are using in order to center properly. Hope this helps!

On the newest release (16) there is support for custom boot animation and includes the null boot animation. Is that a part of the aroma installer or is the custom null boot animation a part of the rom that you cannot remove? I'd rather stick with the stock if you don't mind.

Zte Axon Mini root or custom roms

Full Tutorial and clean Rom by @demenicis http://www.needrom.com/download/zte-axon-mini-model-b2016-only/
You can search on this thread to find the files for Android 6.0.1
You need to root and install TWRP for flashin Android Marshmallow
I recently bought a ZTE Axon Mini here in Europe. It is a pretty good phone, the only problem is the software part which has some lag and UI problems.
They certainly can be fixed with a custom rom or rooting and doing changes or by ZTE themselves.
Here I will write the problems
1) The touch responsiveness could be more fast and snappy, when scrolling etc.
2) random lag occurs from time to time, Some other lag issues with the background apps closing etc.
3) Notifications sometimes do not show at all even when keeping aps on whitelist (deactivate mi assistant to solve this)
4) Dolby Audio gets deactivated almost every time you use headhones .
5) Marshmallow release anytime soon?
6) the UI is too heavy for the phone, most stock apps have issues
7) You cannot adjust brightness inside camera app on auto mode, the HDR mode is really not good ( too blurry)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Most of these issues have been fixed on 6.0.1 Rom (search thread)
Summary and further tweaks by @demenicis http://www.needrom.com/download/zte-axon-mini-model-b2016-only/
Edit 1--------------------------------------------------
Root method has been found and works on all axon mini models Android 5.1.1
Credit for finding @orbitz52 and @Heze85

Just translate the page on Chrome and follow the instructions
For 6.0.1 Marshmallow Root you need to have custom recovery and flash supersu via recovery

Hi,
I can't confirm 1), actually my device runs smooth. I have the Build Version ZTE B2016 FTV1.0.0B01.0
2) random lags occurs, but rare.
3) it seems that this is an issue by the power saving management, I also have some issues with it. I'm actually testing autostart and whitelisting for background the important apps like messengers.
4) I didn't tested this yet
5) I read something arround February this year.
If you google for root, you can find some work instructions, but OTA will be deactivated. I have not tested it yet, will give the phone a few months and ZTE for the update

Issues
I have a lot of problems with this phone. Sometimes apps doesn't work. Most of the times I can't recive notifications, sometimes is laggy, some options doesn't work or change to it's inicial configuration, force touch is not accurate.... A lot! Please ZTE do something!. BTW, how can I solve the notification problem?!
Thank you so much

The notification part is the worst until now.
What I would add is that the camera app is unstable. It gets randomly on night mode and could be improved, on the focus and autoexposure part .
Overall the phone is great, it needs to be improved on the software part and I believe it could succeed and give ZTE a even better reputation
Now on the updates, does anyone know when marshmallow will be released for the Axon mini?

Ok guys, I have solved the notification issue, it seems ZTE had optimized the system for app cleaning, it even cleaned out some resources whatsapp and other apps such as this need to send notifications. Here is the solution for the ZTE AXON (all series)
1. Go inside settings /Power manager /manage background . Here deselect all the apps that you want to send notifications.
2. settings/power manager/auto start manager . Here select all the apps that you want to send notifications.
3. go inside Mi-assistant /Acceleration/ Whitelist . Here select all the apps that you want to send notifications. Otherwise, disable Mi-Assistant from the settings/apps.
It seems the tap to accelerate would remove all resources from these apps, With these changes, every notification will come as usual. CHEERS!!

Which version of Axon do you have ?

It seems the ZTE Axon A1R doesn't have mi-assitant or even power manger/ background manager, and it's on 5.1.1
Guess no way to get that without unlocking the bootloader?

Inside mi assistant remove the auto run on startup and then press exit the mi assistant.
This last few days every notification has shown on time, I did a fresh factory reset and the applied all the settings. Don't know if that would help everyone but I am satisfied until now

I didn't do a factory reset and stopped the Mi-Assistant. Notifications work well after that. But don't forget to do Step 1 and 2, that is still neccessary beside of stopping the Assistant.

I was wondering what is the difference between zte b2015 and b2016 models. I have the b2016 but it seems nothing changes with b2015.

Recent Button, Home , notification & lock Screen not working - Xiaomi Mi3

I am using MIUI Global 7.5| Stable (7.5.1.0 MXDMIDE) ROM & suddenly the notification area and lock screen is not working. The recent button and home button on the device is also not working. I was researching the web regarding the bug is android which might be causing this issue?
See this link here >> Android Police link >>
How To Fix Missing Home And Recents Buttons, And Notification Shade That Refuses To Pull Down After Android Update
Second Link >> Google Plus Link of PaulOBrien >>See this also
Now both the above try to resolve by connecting the mobile to you desktop/lappy in order to execute the command. There is an alternate option available here which might also work >> S7 Edge not showing notifications in tray and "recent apps" button and settings button dnt work
It talk about doing it by following this steps
"And I followed what the user Mike Tompkins said: "Did this using nova launcher. Long press home screen choose shortcut, activities, setup wizard, setup wizard test activity. Creates shortcut, open follow directions. Not sure if it really helps. Didn't have issue."
Here's the fix, being broken down dummy style:
1) Download Nova Launcher & set it as default to replace TouchWiz.
2) Long press on the home screen.
3) Choose Widgets.
4) At the top, under Nova Launcher, scroll to the right & press & hold on Activities and place it somewhere empty on the home screen.
5) Scroll down to Setup Wizard. I saw 2 Setup Wizard options.
6) Under the first Setup Wizard option, I opened it & scrolled down to the 3rd choice which said ".SetupWizardTestActivity". It might be in a different spot for you, but look at the small writing, that's how I saw this one.
7) Select that to create the widget shortcut.
8) Open it. Apparently you're supposed to have a menu to go through and just click through "Next", but there wasn't one for me.
The screen just flashed and then next thing you know, everything works!
But I am unable to find the .".SetupWizardTestActivity"
Any suggestion?
Moreover whenever I am going to developer option I see this message "Developer option is not available for this user"
I am sure I don't have any other user added to this handset.
Help & suggestions?
I have been able to access the device using abd, after adding permission, and have downloaded the logcat files of the device which is attached herewith >> Unable to attach logcat as am a new user, let me know how I can add them.
Now when I am connecting the devices via adb, the devices are showing in adb devices.
When i am executing this command >> adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
I am getting this following message:
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity }
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.google.android.setupwizard/com.google.android.setupwizard.SetupWizardTestActivity} does not exist.
I am not sure why this problem is appearing? any help to fix this issue of home button, recent button, notification issues fixed?

Yes the problem seems to be System UI or something, I am not sure. I had rooted the device after the problem appeared, but it didn't able to resolve the issue. Today I had installed MIUI 8.0 on the device and all the problem disappeared, so it seemed like the problem, was with the bug in MIUI 7, or inherent bug when upgrading from KitKat to MM.

Google Pixel experience with working assistant for Yureka (No Bugs)

We all know new google assistant is pretty cool on Pixel devices.Google kept it to Pixel only but various developers helped us to bring it to any device and now it is completely bug free.I have compiled all the steps in one thread to make it working on YU Yureka device(works on any other device too).
So let's start then.
Requirements
1. Obviously rooted android with a custom recovery.
2. Android version 6.0+
That's it.
Features
1.) Pixel Launcher along with new wallpapers app ,new dialer app from google and Pixel ringtones.
2.) Working google assistant.('Ok Google' working too.)
How To Install
( TIP* Before proceeding with installing Zips just clear your google app data to help in the process of enabling assistant successfully)
1.) Download the zip of pixel experience(for your android version) by FaserF as attached here :- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=122156
2.) Furthur download these 3 zips to make assistant working :- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=121914
(these will add required build.prop 'ro.opa.eligible_device=true' and 'ro.product.model=Pixel'
+ making a backup of your current build.prop and not touching your original build.prop settings.)
2.) Copy them to your device...all the zips.
3.) First flash GoogleAssistantVelvet.zip .
4.) Then flash GoogleAssistantBuildProp.zip (this will install the "tweak.prop" into your build.prop).
5.) Finally flash GooglePixelExperience-flashable-(whatever vesion of android you are on).zip and reboot.
6.) U can now flash additional zips like those of boot animation.
Google assistant may not appear on long tapping home button for a few times but eventually it will appear.
To fix 'ok Google' detection just download the chopAssistant app from play store (here is the link :- credit to @masterchop for making this app ChopAssistant https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ssistant&hl=en)
That's all...I know its a lot to do but then just let's think about the rewards. :laugh:
Bugs
I have tested this method myself on my Yureka device(CM14.1 unofficial build) and for me everything is totally fine.
Report if u find any.
F.A.Q.
1.) Long tapping home button takes to old google now on tap
Give it about 5 minutes and try again...If still doesn't work then clear google velvet app data,then uninstall the google app completely and download google app beta from play store by registering for a beta tester. Reboot...Assistant will appear now.
2.) Dialer app crashes
Give it all permissions.
3.) Google app crashes
Give it all permissions.

Quick review:-

I want only assistant to be working fully. Do i need to flash both Pixel experience zip??

Installed Magisk and now home button and menu button (left) doesn't work

I just installed magisk through the magisk manager app and it went just fine, but now when I've rebooted my home and menu buttons aren't working. I get the vibration response but no action. the menu key does bring up manus in apps but it doesn't do what it did before installing Magisk... Can I reset the buttons functionality somehow? I'm running LineageOS 14.1 on a Redmi Note 4. Please help!

his is an Android issue.
Step instructions:
- Download Nova Launcher. If you cannot from the google play store, search for it on Chrome and download an apk version
- Install it (you may get a pop up advising you need to let apps installed from chrome, go to settings and allow it)
- Once installed, click on Open. This should launch the Nova Launcher
- Long press anywhere on the screen
- Choose Widgets.
- Look for the Activities widget and hold and place it anywhere on the screen.
- Scroll down to Setup Wizard. There's two, one that's "Setup Wizard" and the other "SetupWizard" without a space. Choose the first. There should be an option under it called ".SetupWizardUpgradeActivity". It might be slightly different for you pending the version OS you have but that's what came up for me.
- Select that to create the widget shortcut then click to open.
- This will bring you to the setup wizard and then just click Next all the way through (turn off any preferences you may have in the past)
You can uninstall Nova Launcher afterwards if you want. You don't need to set it as default.

Can I use this for a noname android car head unit? What is the
custom recovery that I could use?
