Then three videos I made while I was at DroidCon were released as well.
Episode 5 of the XDA / Android podcast was posted, I did the last video in the “Best phones under $100” series.
And 5 other videos were posted to XDA TV. “Jack did a review of the Honor 7 in an article, so if you want to see his thoughts on the device, links down below.” Forums for the newly announced Asus Zenfone 2 Laser are now available. And XenonHD ROM was released by TeamHorizon, bringing Android 6.0 to the LG G3, though it’s also still considered experimental.
XDA Senior Member Bobby060 and his team released a guide showing how to enable the Camera2 API on the new Moto X devices, which adds in support for raw images as well as more manual functionality, but make sure to read through to see all the pros and cons before jumping in there.
XDA Senior Member Vlasp released a guide showing you how to install the Xposed framework on the Amazon Fire tablets without actually needing a custom recovery. Again, it’s an early build, so don’t go expecting it to be 100% stable quite yet. XDA Recognized Developer herna released an early build of OmniROM based on Android 6 for the OnePlus One. XDA Senior Member papi92 found a way to enable Band 12 LTE support with Voice Over LTE support on the Nexus 6P as well, using only fastboot commands, and has made a guide with download links available. XDA Recognized Developer flar2 figured out a way to enable double tap to wake on the Nexus 6P by using a custom kernel, so if that’s a feature you’ve been missing, check out his post in the forum.
TWRP for the Nexus 6P has been updated, bringing in the SuperSU update that doesn’t touch the system partition, and also adding in support for decryption of user data. Official nightly builds of CM 12.1 for the International and T-Mobile LG G4 variants are now available as well.
The OTA for Android 6 on the Google Play edition HTC One M8 started rolling out this week, and a URL to download it was made available, so if you’ve got that device, get ready for some.ĬM 12.1 started rolling out to the Yu Yureka and Yureka Plus this week. Luckily, Samsung jumped on it and has patched 8 of those 11 already, and the others will be fixed soon.
Speaking of security exploits, Google has a security team called “Project Zero” that, within a week, found 11 exploits on the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. If you do end up with one of these trojans, you can try to remove the infected app, since they can’t really be detected currently by antivirus software, but you might have to go as far as reflashing the stock firmware on your device, so again, please just be cautious when installing new apps. So I guess the moral of the story there is, just make sure you know who you’re getting your apps from. And apparently there are over 20,000 apps, usually legitimate apps pulled from the Play Store, that have been repackaged with adware and placed in third-party app stores, that can do just that. Mobile security firm Lookout figured out that, since certain apps can easily exploit your device and gain root access from a user perspective, it’s certainly possible that a malicious app could do the same. In a bit of bad news, Android Central did an interview with Blackberry’s President of Devices, and apparently the bootloader on the Priv is not going to be able to be unlocked. From this point on, they’re going to focus on building AOSP for it, which is a much better option, in my opinion. Oppo rolled out a new version of Color OS to the Find 7, bringing it to version 2.1.5i Stable, and they announced that this is going to be the last version of Color OS for the Find 7. Proof of concept is all well and good, but I think once is probably enough. I’m not going to go any deeper into it than this… you didn’t buy a flip phone, it’s not supposed to bend in the middle. From what I’ve gathered, there are concerns, just as there were with the iPhone 6, that there’s a structural weakness in the phone, and hopefully Google and Huawei are looking into it. I haven’t said anything about it on here yet… but yet another bend test of the Nexus 6P has shown up on YouTube.
It’s still an experimental process, so there could be buginess to doing it this way, but head on over to the SuperSU beta thread if you want to learn more about it. He says doing it this way makes it cleaner, easier to unroot, easier to update, and so on. First up, big news, Chainfire has released a method for rooting Android 6.0 Marshmallow… but it doesn’t actually require modifying your system partition, just modifying the boot image. Root Android 6.0 w/o System Modification, Nexus6 6P #BendGate, Marshmallow for HTC One M8 GPe – XDA TV It’s Friday, November 6, 2015, - and let’s talk about what happened this week over at.
