The post How to install ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) on HTC Desire Eye [TWRP alternative] appeared first on The Android Soul.

Well, this should lift the mood of owners of shiny new Asus Zenfone 2 — the ClockworkMod recovery, aka CWM, is now available for their device, though, not as permanent installation. You’ll boot into CWM recovery right after installation, but once you’re out of recovery, it will be automatically removed from phone. But anyway, that brings the ability to root your Zenfone 2 pretty easily, whichever firmware your are on, without the need of installing a given pre-rooted firmware.

And guess what, installation of the CWM recovery is super-damn-easy too. You just have to download the required stuff and have to run just one file and follow two little steps and you’ll in CWM recovery mode soon.

You have to thank 29y6145 user over at XDA for this, who broght this to Zenfone 2 using the original work of another user, social-design-concepts, on Intel powered phones with locked bootloaders. And of course, Chainfire, for the SuperSU file.

With the CWM recovery on your Zenfone 2, you can also create nandroid backup, something we depend on very much. It’s a lifesaver feature of custom recoveries, be it CWM or TWRP. While there is no news of TWRP for Zenfone 2 yet, we really hope it should come to the device. No ETA, though!

There are apparently lots of benefits of installing a CWM recovery on Zenfone 2, and root is chief of them. Apart from pre-rooted firmware, which are region specific, no good root solution is available. But with the availability of CWM recovery, you can flash Chainfire’s SuperSU root package on your Zenfone 2 to root it, and that makes up for the best root solution too, thanks to ClockworkMod recovery.

Let’s see how to install Zenfone 2 CWM recovery.

If you are looking to update your Sony Xperia Z2 to latest Lollipop update firmware v23.1.A.1.28, and want to keep root access and the DUAL Recovery installed, look no further than the custom ROM based on stock Lollipop update we’ve got below. The ROM is based on latest firmware v23.1.A.1.28, and is pre-rooted, plus has the locked dual recovery.

For advanced Android users, it’s a given that they are all into root and recovery stuff. And as much as we enjoy it, it becomes a slight cause of concern to when one is looking to install the latest of updates, which breaks root and removes recovery for the most part. Thus we always try to share the stock firmware in untouched form like this one, except for the addition of root and recovery, a must for your customization needs.

Before you march forward to latest Lollipop update for your Sony Xperia Z2, know that this ROM is compatible with model no. D6503 only — and no other device whatsoever. So, do check it in your phone’s settings or on box before attempting to install this firmware. Credits for the ROM goes to nokian70.

Of course, the Galaxy S6 you have in your hand is the one of the fastest devices on Android. After all, it houses the fastest chip in Exynos 7420, and its Touchwiz isn’t that much bloatware laden as its previous versions. But anyway, it’s still got Touchwiz, Samsung’s custom UI over Android, and set of Samsung apps that keep hogging your device from time to time. No wonder many people deem Nexus 5 slightly smoother and faster than Galaxy S6 many a times.

You can achieve faster speed in operations on your AT&T Galaxy S6 by using a debloated ROM that’s got rid of not-so-useful Samsung apps already, and thus gets lots of free RAM for using the phone as you would. That means removing the Samsung apps like S-Voice, Videos, KNOX, Facebook messenger, etc. to name a few. Check the full list of the apps removed from the official page given at downloads section. Credit for the ROM goes to Rayman360, thanks!

Android M comes with a number of cool new features, but our most favorite so far is the new App management interface with easy controls to manage app permissions to block shady apps from using your data for no good reason.

On Android M you can easily turn off certain permissions for an App that you feel is not necessarily required by the app. This feature is pretty useful as we often come across apps that ask permission to access unnecessary data on our devices (like Contacts, Messages, etc.) while their purpose doesn’t require access to such data. So with Android M, you’ll be able to easily toggle off certain permissions for an app to block it from accessing your data.

How to Change App Permissions on Android M

Go to Settings » select Apps.
Now select the App for which you want to change permissions.
On the App info page, select “Permissions”.
You’ll get a list of permissions allowed to the app along with toggles on the right for each to turn off/on.
While turning off a permission you may get a prompt “Denying permission may cause it to no longer function as intended”, select “Deny”.

That’s all.

The App info pages have largely stayed the same on Android for a long time now except for the generalized visual changes from holo design and then material in Lollipop. But with Android M, the App info pages are now finally taking a reform with some really cool new features and a simplified interface for everything.

The app info pages has long held the controls to clear App data and cache in pretty much the same style. But now with Android M, these two options are grouped into the Storage option which is accessible from the App info page.

To clear App data and Cache on Android M, you now have to go Storage option first and then chose Clear Data and Clear Cache options from there.

Go to Settings » select Apps.
Now select the App for which you want to clear data and cache.
On the App info page, select “Storage”.
Now press Clear Data and Clear Cache buttons to delete data and cache for the app.

It looks like Android M is breaking the USB connection with PC as a number of users (included us) weren’t able to connect the Nexus 5 to our PCs after installing the Android M developer preview build. But thankfully, there’s an easy fix.

Android M now has USB Configuration profiles under developer options which apparently upon playing with let us connect our Nexus 5 to the PC. No extra drivers were need to be installed. By default, it seems Android M has PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) activated on the device and soon as you change it to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) the device is instantly recognized by the PC.

How to Change USB Configuration on Android M

Go to Settings » About phone » scroll to the bottom and tap on Build number seven times to enable Developer options.
Go back to Settings page and select “Developer options” from here now.
Scroll a bit and you’ll see “Select USB configuration” under Networking options, select it.
Now select the USB mode you want to use from here. We selected the “MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)” from the list and it resolved our issue with Nexus 5 not connecting to the PC.

Don’t like to fall off the internet even for a few seconds? Well, Android M has you covered with a new feature called “Cellular data always active” which keeps you mobile data always active, even when Wi-Fi is active to facilitate fast network switching.

This is actually a pretty cool feature, but we won’t recommend you to always keep it enabled on your phone if you care about battery life. Keeping mobile data always active alongside WiFi could negatively hurt the battery. We’d be testing it out in the coming days as to how much it effects the battery life, will be sure to share the results.

If you’ve got a Nexus device and have Android M installed, you can try it out from developer options under under Networking features.

How to Enable “Cellular Data Always Active” mode on Android M

Go to Settings » About phone » scroll to the bottom and tap on Build number seven times to enable Developer options.
Go back to Settings page and select “Developer options” from here now.
Scroll down a bit and you’ll see “Cellular Data Always Active” toggle under Networking options.
Enable it and you’ll have fast switching from WiFi to mobile data.

It has just come to our knowledge that Android M already supports multi-window, but you have to do some tweaking to enable it. Considering Android M is available on some specific Nexus devices, the Nexus 5, 6 and 9, if you are running Android M on these devices already, you can get multi-window pretty easily on these devices.

The hack involves editing the build.prop in the system partition of the device. It would have been ultra easy if proper root solution was available, which isn’t the case, so you have to use ADB in editing the build.prop. We’ve covered a detailed guide below, but let’s just say big thanks to Quinny899, who unearthed the thing.

How to enable Android M multi-window option in Settings

Supported models

Nexus 5, Nexus 6 and Nexus 9, running Android M preview build
Don’t try on any other device

You need to activate the hidden option ‘Multi-window’ under the drawing category of Developer option in settings, which in itself is also hidden. The guide will do that first, and then it’s a simple task on enabling the multi-window using the option’s toggle button.

Install new Android M ADB drivers. (If that proves a trouble for you, you can install old drivers easily using this link.)
Install TWRP recovery for your device: Nexus 5, Nexus 6 or Nexus 9.
Boot your phone into recovery mode. For this:
1. Power off your device first.
2. Then hold volume down + volume up + power button together to reboot to fastboot mode.
3. Navigate to Recovery option using volume buttons and then press power button to select and boot into recovery mode.
Connect your device to PC now.
In TWRP, tap on Mount, and then tick the System. Now you will be able to pull the build.prop file from the device.
Now, on PC, with ADB installed, create a new folder anywhere on PC. name it: multi-m
Go into the folder multi-m, and open a cmd window in that folder. Right click on the white space inside the folder while holding shift button, then select ‘Open command window here’.
Now, copy paste the command below and then hit enter key. This will pull the file called build.prop in system partition.
```
adb pull /system/build.prop
```
You’ll have the build.prop file in the folder multi-m. Open it with Notepad++ text editor. Don’t close the command window, and don’t power on the phone either. Leave phone connected.
Find the ro.build.type line in the build.prop file. It’s line no. 14 in build.prop of my Nexus 5.
You’ll find the text user after that. Well, change it to userdebug
Save the file, and clode the Notepad++. Now we will push the edited build.prop back into device’s system partition, replacing the old one and setting the permissions back.
Back to cmd window, copy paste the command below and then hit enter key.
```
adb push build.prop /system/
```
For setting permissions we got operate via ADB shell. For this, type adb shell and then hit enter key.
Next, type cd system and then hit enter key.
Set permission on the build.prop file we pushed to system in step 14 above. Copy paste the command below and then hit enter key.
```
chmod 644 build.prop
```
Exit adb shell. Type exit and then use enter key.
On the device, untick the System option in mount.
Go back into TWRP’s main screen, and select Reboot > System. When it asks for SuperSU installation, tap on ‘Do not Install’ because currently, SuperSU is not compatible with Android M.
When your device boots up, go into Settings > Developer options. under the Drawing category, find the option Multi-window mode. Enable it using the toggle button. That’s it.

Enjoy!

Tip: How to use multi-window? Well, After enabling it, just press the Recents key, and then tap on extra icon you see to the left of x button on every app’s window there. You’ll get to select from 3 options, each meant for setting the app to upper half of the screen, or lower part, or full screen. That’s it.

Need any help with this, sure let us know via comments section below.

Your HTC Desire 816 may be playing foul with WiFi connection if you updated it recently using a custom recovery (TWRP/CWM). This is because flashing the Android 5.0 Lollipop update via recovery didn’t really install all components of the upgrade that a firmware would, and hence the WiFi bug.

But anyway, you can fix the WiFi bug right away on your HTC Desire 816 dual-sim handset by installing the official firmware right away — download link to firmware and guide on how to install it is provided below.

Note that installing the firmware given below requires you to be on certain software version already, which is, 1.58.401.11 or 2.34.401.1. If you are not on any of these two software version, the update may fail. So, be sure to update first to either of these two software version to be able to fix WiFi connection by installing this update.

And be sure to match the CID of your current device if you are S-ON, it must match for your device to be compatible with this firmware update. If you are S-Off though, you are a free bird, flash it, it will do fine.

Here’s how to Fix WiFi on HTC Desire 816 on Lollipop update.

Now, if you are S-ON (see that written at top on this white screen?), you will need to re-lock bootloader of your Desire 816 (this will erase your apps, games, photos, etc. everything from internal storage). If you are S-Off, you don’t need to do this, skip this step. S-ON users type this command and hit enter key: fastboot oem lock
Now, reboot into fastboot RUU mode. Run this command: fastboot oem rebootRUU
Tip: You should be able to see HTC logo in silver in the middle of a black screen.
Now, we will install the stock Android 5.0.2 recovery for Desire 816, by flashing the firmware.zip now. Run this command: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Re-run the above command again: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Reboot into fastboot mode again by running this command: fastboot reboot bootloader

WiFi is fixed on your HTC Desire 816 now, but it doesn’t have the TWRP recovery and has lost root access too.

If you wish to get root and install TWRP recovery again, you will have to unlock bootloader again on S-On devices. S-Off devices don’t need to. And then simply install TWRP recovery again, and then flash the SuperSU file to gain root access.

LG G3 was launched with one of its highly marketed features, the Quick Circle case. While not a benchmark venture in this field, the implementation utilized a circular cut-out window for more than just answering phone calls. Its presence was extended to widgets and full blown apps as well. Despite its multiple uses, the Quick Circle case is best known for circular clocks, which allows the user to place circular widgets on the home screen that remain visible through the cut out. However, the default clocks provided by LG have limited options and anything stays the same for a while and tends to get monotonous.

The lack of options in Quick Circle clocks created a chance for developers to show their skills. The community famous worldwide created many such clocks with the help of recognized themer and developers, which mainly serve to increase the variety of options. From the minimal time only clocks to full blown weather information displays are available and you can make one yourself as per your choice. The mod is in the form of a standard apk, but it requires you to root your device and install Xposed Framework to run. Root + Xposed not only offers you option in Quick Circle Case but also many modules where the user can capitalize as per his taste.

Note: For this feature to work properly you need to root your device and install Xposed Framework.

Supported models:

Currently this feature is available on all G3 models as far as they have the latest QC Themer

Poweramp

With Android M, many apps were incompatible at the beginning and slowly, app developers are making required modifications to their apps to support Android M. One of our favorite music players, PowerAMP, was not compatible with Android M from the outset, but its developers have now updated the app to support Android M.

So, if you are on Nexus 5, 6 or 9, and can’t live without PowerAMP, you have a lot to cheer for. Download the new PowerAMP APK from below, and install it like regular APK.

The Android M compatible PowerAMP that you are downloading from below is a beta version, yet to make it to play store. It’s really nice of PowerAMP team to come with a working Android M beta version of their app quickly enough.

Download

Poweramp APK | File: Poweramp-2.0.10-build-580-uni.apk

If you need help with installing an APK file, see here.

What’s in this version:

fixed crash on M-preview
few other minor fixes
580: even more improved track state saving during bluetooth connection
580: MusicFX is disabled by default now for Sony @ Lollipop (as it’s broken there)
578: improved track state saving during bluetooth connection
578: better 3rd party skin failures handling

For Samsung Galaxy S6 users who have rooted their devices with CF Auto root and want to return to stock recovery which comes pre-installed with the device, here is a guide to do so. As you may be knowing, any changes you make to system partition makes your device incompatible with OTA updates, and the only way to accept OTA updates again is flashing Samsung stock recovery and cache partition back.

But btw, if you have changes to system partition yourself, other than CF Auto Root, then you will need to restore them back to and flashing a stock recovery won’t do alone — you will need to flash whole firmware again, which is also provided below.

All in all, if you have used CF Auto Root and have not done any other changes to system, restoring the stock recovery and cache will do for you to accept OTA update. However, if you have made a lot of changes to system, like deleting system apps, installing xposed framework, etc. flashed mods into recovery, then you need to flash the full firmware file below.

Let’s see how to install stock recovery back on Sprint Galaxy S6 running OCF firmware, to get OTA ability of the device back.

Downloads:

Stock OCF Recovery | File: G925P_OCF_RecoveryCache.tar.md5 (60 MB)
Odin PC Software | File: Odin3_v3.10.6.zip
Stock OCF Firmware | SPR-G925PVPU1AOCF-20150415164450.zip (1.55 GB)

NOTE: Installing a firmware (large download of 1.5 GB is fine, and it covers recovery too. But if you are running OCF firmware (see step 1 below) and have only rooted using CF Auto Root, then we suggest you simply install the OCF recovery, a small download, to get OTA back.

Supported models

SAMSUNG SPRINT GALAXY S6, model no. SM-G925P
Don’t try on any other S6 set with different model no, or any other device whatsoever

Disclamer: Installing stock recovery through Odin doesn’t void your device’s warranty, but it remains an unofficial process and thus you need to be cautious of it. In any case, you only are responsible for your device. We won’t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components.

Important Note: Backup important files stored on your device before proceeding with the steps below, so that in case something goes wrong you’ll have backup of all your important files. Sometimes, Odin installation may delete everything on your device!

Installation Instructions:

If you intend to install stock recovery, make sure your device is running on OCF firmware. Go Settings > About phone, and check build no. for this. But if you are looking to install the whole of firmware
Download Odin and firmware file from above.
Install Galaxy S6 Edge drivers (method 1 there!) first of all. Double click the .exe file of drivers to begin installation. (Not required if you have already done this.)
Extract the Odin file. You should get this file, Odin3 v3.10.6.exe (other files could be hidden, hence not visible). Also extract the firmware file, SPR-G925PVPU1AOCF-20150415164450.zip, if you intend to flash the firmware instead of recovery file.
Disconnect your Galaxy S6 Edge from PC if it is connected.
Boot Sprint Galaxy S6 Edge into download mode:
1. Power off your S6 Edge. Wait 6-7 seconds after screen goes off.
2. Press and hold the three buttons Volume Down + Power + Home together until you see warning screen.
3. Press Volume Up to continue to download mode.
Double click on extract file of Odin, Odin3 v3.10.6.exe, to open the Odin window, as shown below. Be careful with Odin, and do just as said to prevent problems.
Connect your Galaxy S6 Edge to PC now using USB cable. Odin should recognize your S6 Edge. It’s a must. When it recognizes, you will see Added!! message appearing in the Log box in bottom left, and the first box under ID:COM will also show a no. and turn its background blue. Look at the pic below.
- You cannot proceed until Odin recognizes your phone and you get the Added!! message.
- If it doesn’t, you need to install/re-install drivers again, and use the original cable that came with phone. Mostly, drivers are the problem.
- You can try different USB ports on your PC too, btw.
Click on the AP tab in Odin and select the the stock recovery file, G925P_OCF_RecoveryCache.tar (btw, if you intend to flash the full firmware, then select the firmware’s .tar.md5 file).
Make sure Re-partition checkbox is NOT selected, under the Options tab. Don’t use PIT tab either. Go back to Log tab btw, it will show the progress when you hit start button in next step
Click the Start button on Odin now to start flashing the recovery on your Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. Wait until installation is finished, after which your Galaxy S6 Edge will reboot automatically. You’ll get PASS message as show below upon successful installation from Odin.
- If Odin gets stuck at setup connection, then you need to do steps 4 to 11 again. For this, close Odin, disconnect your S6 Edge, remove battery, insert it back after 5-6 seconds and then start from step 6 again.
- Or, if you get FAIL in the top left box, you need to try flashing again, as stated just above.

Once reboot you are ready to go.

With 3GB RAM and Snapdragon 810 processor teamed up inside the HTC One M9, it’s no doubt a speed demon. But that’s not to say he One M9 cannot improve. It definitely can, if you remove the unnecessary apps that hog the system and constantly use RAM, and that’s what the custom we are sharing with you today does, but take note that it is compatible only with Verizon HTC One M9, not any other variant or device.

The Verizon HTC One M9 comes packed with lots of bloatware — Verizon requested apps, that is — that most users don’t need. The custom ROM’s name is Onyx, and it’s version 1.6.1 tat is available for download as of today. ROM consists of several tweaks which make the rom all the more likable.

The ROM is based on HTC firmware v1.33.605.15, and runs on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, topped with Sense 7. Like most of the custom ROMs, it’s been deodexed too, so it’s easy for you to install a theme if you find one. Care has been taken such that the rom is as close to stock HTC build as much, so you will so no modifications to UI and such. ROM promises you nearly the same experience, only faster. Onyx ROM is still in its Beta stage as regards development, but it is stable to be your daily driver. Credit to the ROM goes to Cykhet, thanks!

If you need help with how to boot the LG G4 recovery mode, you have come to right place. With each OEMs using a different combination of keys to manually boot into recovery mode, and that too sometimes different for their own range of devices, it becomes a tedious task to boot into recovery mode effortlessly. You have got to have exact idea of when to press what buttons to enter recovery mode, from where you can do a factory reset to wipe your device. For LG G4, LG’s chosen a not so common method, and thus you have to be careful to use exact key combo as provided below. Also, be sure to have TWRP recovery installed as said in step 1 below, with links to installation.

Knowing LG G4 recovery mode is particularly helpful when you have installed a TWRP/CWM recovery too, as you may be installing different custom ROMs every now and then. Plus, you can create cool backup from TWRP/CWM that lets you unbrick the device by using the restore feature.

Important Note: Please make sure you install a custom recovery before, because your data will be lost if you don’t have a custom recovery like TWRP/CWM installed.

Supported models:

LG G4, any variant
Don’t try on any other Android device

Boot into LG G4 Recovery Mode Using HARDWARE buttons

Make sure you have a custom recovery. If you don’t have a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP installed, this will factory reset your phone, and will wipe off everything on your device: apps, games and game progress, settings, etc. By default, you don’t have a custom recovery, so make sure you have installed one: Get LG G4 TWRP here.
To enter into Recovery mode on G4, first Power Off your device. Then wait for 6-7 seconds after screen goes off.
Now, press and hold Volume Down and Power Button for 5-10 seconds until the LG logo appears.
As soon as the LG logo appears, release the Power button for 1 second and then hold it back.
You will see a white screen with some options available.
Use volume up and down to select Yes or No and Power Button to authorize the selection.
You’ll boot into recovery mode.

G4 camera mod 60fps+100%qualtiy+flash mod

LG did great with camera of its 2015 flagship device, the G4, but did you know you can take it to the next level all by yourself. The road’s not easy, you will have to install TWRP recovery on your G4 first, and then install the .zip file we’ve provided below. Of course, we have got the links to help you with TWRP recovery installation (see the guide below) but before that, let’s talk what improvement we’re talking about here.

Even though LG has upped a level in the camera department with G4, it still misses out on few basic features. Thankfully though, developers around the world have managed to overcome that haul as well. LG G4 has a shortcoming when it comes to the FPS rate while recording videos. The Full HD recording is done at yesteryear’s 30 FPS rate, but with this hack, you will be recording at modern 60 FPS rate. There are certain additional updates in the mod which increase the bit-rate and the photo quality to 100%. Also, you will be able to use the camera even after battery level drops to less than 15% (default), up to 5%. Credit for the mod goes to Pfeffernuss, thanks!

Note: The mod increases the file sizes of videos by a large amount. Keep that in mind.

Let’s see how to improve LG G4’s camera.

Downloads

The name of each mod says wat the mod does. All support 60 FPS recording, while bit-rate differ in each one. Install one of your choice. And, when you want to remove/uninstall the mod, and want the LG’s own settings back, simply install the revert to stock file.

Supported models

LG G4, model no. H815
→ Why only H815 model no.? Well, you need TWRP recovery for this and only H815 has it available, because LG provides bootloader unlock for only this one, which is a must for TWRP installaiton.
Don’t try on any other variant of G4.
Don’t try on any other Android device.

Installation Instructions

Backup necessary stuff. In case your device is wiped off while following the guide below, it’s good to have a backup of contacts, photos, videos and other files already saved on PC. Follow the instructions from #9 if you already have your device rooted.

Unlock bootloader of LG G4. That’s a must, as without this, device remains locked by LG and you the user cannot install TWRP recovery. You will also get to install ADB and LG drivers in that guide, so we will skip the drivers part here.
Install TWRP Recovery on LG G4.
Download the camera mod of your choice from above. Better download all the mods, and the stock restore file.
Connect your G4 and transfer all the downloaded files to your G4.
Reboot into recovery mode.
1. Open the command window at the location where you have the TWRP recovery. For this, while holding shift key, right click from mouse on the white space inside the folder. You’ll get a pop-up as shown below. Select the option: Open command window here
2. A command (cmd) window will open up. Now, copy the command below and paste it in command window, and then hit Enter key.
```
adb reboot recovery
```
Once you’re into TWRP recovery, choose “Install” from main menu and then select the mod file you want to install (that you transferred in step 4). Do a ‘Swipe to Confirm Flash’ at bottom to install the mod.
Once done, go back to main screen using the Home button at bottom left, and then tap on System > Reboot.

You are now having a modded camera for LG G4 , enjoy 60fps recording!
