Change language !!!

Hi guys!
I bought the Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910T), and it did not come with Portuguese language ('m from Brazil).
I've tried to translate app's (morelocale2) already replaced the ROM for the newest, but it worked!
Is there any way to put the language?
Is there any custom ROM or not, that works for my model?
Thank you!
Additional language added for Note 4 SM-N9100G without root
Hi,
I face the same problem with a Note 4 SM-N9100G trying to install a additional local language without to root the phone and to affect the warranty. The solution found on Internet is given below:
1. On Windows PC download and install the latest Android SDK Manager (Google for it).
2. Unlock the "Developer Option" on your Note 4 device.
3. Install MoreLocale 2 from Google Play on your Note 4 device.
4. On your PC go on the <Platform - Tools> subfolder from SDK Manager folder and launch a command prompt window here (press simultaneously shift and right click then select from drop menu).
5. Connect the Note 4 to PC though the USB cable on USB debugging mode (accept the debugging action from your PC on the popping window from your phone).
6. To ensure that the devices are properly communicating type <adb devices> on the Command Prompt window from your PC and you shall see your device listed.
7. Launch the adb shell from same Command Prompt window with the command <adb shell> then enter
Note: the top of the command prompt window shall indicate "adb shell" mode upon command input.
8. Input the following command line exactly as is given in the Command Prompt window then press enter (take care on CAPS LOCK):
pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
9. If you don't receive any error on the command prompt window then you manage to unlock the MoreLocale 2 application on your phone.
10. Go to your Note 4 launch MoreLocale 2 and select the language you want to load, set it as default then you are done.
Hope that this will help.

[ROOT][UNLOCK BOOTLOADER][CUSTOM RECOVERY][TUTORIAL] Root Android One using Linux

Hello everyone,
I wrote this walkthrough to show you how to unlock the bootloader,install custom recovery and gain root privileges on your Android One by using Linux.
Some of the instructions in this guide are not mandatory to accomplish the task but I decided to include them anyway just for informational purposes because this guide is intended for novice users.
This is my personal method and I will provide you with detailed information to avoid mistakes so read carefully and have fun.
Requisites:
*Backup your data before proceeding!
*Android One
*A Linux distro (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/ElementryOS or etc)
*android_one_root.zip (Download it from http ://goo.gl/B3LjRJ ) [Note: Remove spaces from the link ]
Let's begin.
Chapter 1: Developer options, Android debugging & Android Tools
​
Phase 1: Developer options and Android debugging.
Go to Settings > About phone and tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options. You will see a little pop-up that says "You have enabled development settings!".
Go back to Settings menu and scroll down to Developer options. Tap on it and then enable Android debugging. You will be asked to allow USB Debugging, confirm by tapping on OK.
​
Phase 2: Installing Android tools (ADB & Fastboot) on Linux. (I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 here)
Open Terminal and run this command to install ADB and Fastboot tools:
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
Chapter 2: Unlock the bootloader.
​
In this chapter we will focus on the Linux Terminal rather than the phone. Don't be scared, it will be easy enough and you will have the opportunity to learn something new. :fingers-crossed:
Now you can connect your Android One phone to your computer.
Once your phone has been connected to your pc, open the Terminal and run this command:
Code:
adb devices
​
Check the phone. Your computer's RSA fingerprint will be shown and you will be asked to allow USB debugging. Confirm by tapping on OK.
​
Note: If you see offline instead of device, run the adb devices command once again.
If adb devices output looks like this:
Code:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions
Run these commands:
Code:
sudo adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server
sudo adb devices
Put yourphone in Fastboot Mode by running this command:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
EASY WAY: You can put your phone in Fastboot Mode by holding down Power button and Volume up simultaneously for few seconds (it works either phone on or off).
Commands in Fastboot Mode need Administrator privileges on your pc, that's why we will use sudo.
Run this command to make sure that Fastboot Mode is working correctly:
Code:
sudo fastboot devices
​
Next command will unlock the bootloader:
Code:
sudo fastboot oem unlock
The phone will reboot and it will restore factory settings. All personal data and settings will be lost.
Once the reboot is complete, download & extarct the "android_one_root.zip" file to your pc.Now copy both "eu.chainfire.supersu.apk" and "update.zip" file to your phones sd card.Then install "eu.chainfire.supersu.apk" in your phone.
Then put the device back in Fastboot Mode by holding down Power button and Volume up simultaneously for few seconds (it works either phone on or off).
Chapter 3: Install Custom Recovery.​
You will find three custom recovery in the archive.Choose one of them. (I'm using TWRP here)
So put the recovery's .img file on your pc's Desktop.
On Terminal, change the current working directory by running this command: (Change Desktop to ypur current working directory)
Code:
cd Desktop
nstall TWRP Recovery by running this command: (If you want to flash CWM/PHILZ recovery,just replace TWRP.img to CWM.img/PHILZ.img )
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
Now it's time to enter Recovery Mode. To do that, hold down Power button and Volume up.
In TWRP Recovery tap on Install, scroll down to the update.zip archive and select it. Perform a swipe to confirm the installation and lastly reboot your phone.
Once the reboot is complete, go to google play store and install "Root Checker" to check your device root status.
Congratulations, you made it!
If you are using phliz recovery mode
before install custom recovery format userdata
code
sudo fastboot format userdata
otherwise it will stuck in recovery mode

[Root] Doze Settings Editor (Android Marshmallow Only)

Just to inform you all with Marshmallow there is an app to edit the default doze settings and get better battery life
Thanks to @p0isonra1n

[Root] Doze Settings Editor (Android Marshmallow Only)
Requires Root
This app is a simple editor of the settings or parameters which affect the operation of Doze.
If no root is available then it will offer an ADB command that will modify the doze settings.
Because there is no root on open it will always load the default settings.

I had problem activating Doze new settings via app so I had to use the adb (even though my device is rooted)
here is how :
1- enable usb debugging from settings> developer options
2- There are plenty guides on how to install and run adb, you can google it or use this or this or ...
3- connect your device
4 - in terminal run
Code:
adb start-server
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle
if the values shown are same as default , then you have my problem, go to step 5. if values are what you set in the app profiles ... then you dont need to proceed
5- revoke "Doze Settings" su permissions from super su app
6- run the app , su permission will be denied and it give u a command to copy, copy it to a text file and send the file to your pc
7- open the file in your pc and copy the text
8- paste the copied line in the adb terminal and hit enter
reboot device and run the "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle" from terminal again, it should show new values.
It helps! Thanks!

How can use without root I download the app but it says adb something
From the xda thread here:
Device Setup
Go to Settings >> Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.
Enable Developer Options by going to Settings >> About, finding the Build Number item and tapping it 7 times.​Plug your device into your computer and accept the authorization request on it.
(Windows) You may need to install your device's drivers, available from the manufacturer's website.​
Windows Setup
Download the ADB ZIP for Windows: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip.
Extract the ZIP to an easily-accessible location (ie Desktop).
Open CMD.
Enter cd C:\path\to\extracted\folder\ to get to the folder you extracted ADB into. For instance, C:\Users\Zachary\Desktop\platform-tools\​
Running the Commands
In CMD/Terminal, run adb devices to make sure your device is seen.
Run these commands:
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.DUMP
If neither of those commands has any output, then everything was successful and you can use the app.​

Interesting in de-googling android phones

Hi, I'm primarily here to see if anyone has managed to install a custom OS in the Ulefone armour10. I very easily installed LineageOS on a sumsung s10e, but so far the Ulefone seems elusive (for that particular build)
I'm interested in using android for packet modes via UHF/VHF radio, SDR's and off-grid comms.
Because no-one want's to carry a toughbook around anymore, right?
You can easily De-Google your phone via the ADB command using a PC or root you device for even more functionality.
If you don't wanna go the Rooting route then ADB command is your best option.
• first of all you have to enable Developer settings on your phone (I'm considering you already know and there are billions of tutorials on how to unlock developer mode)
• connect you phone using a USB data cable to a Computer.
• connect your phone as MTP or File Transfer (if this setting doesn't pop up you can go into Developer settings and that setting will be below the Tethering Hardware Acceleration as "Select USB Configuration")
• on your PC first you have to have the ADB drivers for your device
• open Command Prompt on your PC of its Windows, Terminal of its MacOS or Linux (open Command Prompt by typing "CMD" or "Command Prompt" in the windows search)
• in the prompt or terminal type "adb devices" to see if your phone appears.
• if your phone appeared them type "adb shell" to open an adb shell
• once you're in adb shell with your device type "pm list packages" this command will show all the apps currently installed in your phone and they're package name for example "com.google.duo" (without quotations) is the package name for Google Duo, you can also type "pm list packages | grep Google" to find only Google apps
• lastly use the "pm uninstall -k --user 0 package-name" command, for example use "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.duo" to uninstall Google Duo.
I hope this help you.
