[How to] Change (some) Google Apps and Viper 2.7 to Dark Mode [Root Required] - Galaxy Note 4 General

I stumbled across this in the Viper4Android 2.7 thread. It was suggested for activating dark mode for that app, which it does, but I noticed that it also changed the playstore, photos, and chrome (kind of). There may be more but those are the only Google apps that I use beside Drive and messages which already have a dark theme option within the app.
Edit- I forgot about Gmail. It doesn't work for that one, at least not on my end.
This is only confirmed on Stock 6.0.1 firmware.
First you'll need a terminal app. I use Termux.
Open that app and type the following:
Code:
su
Press enter, then type (or copy/paste)
Code:
settings put secure ui_night_mode 2
Press enter, then reboot or type in the terminal
Code:
reboot
And press enter
Once your phone boots back up you should see dark mode on the above mentioned apps and possibly more.

[APP] Time Warner TV app for rooted devices

There is a thread located in the Galaxy Nexus forum talking about this workaround. I figured, my fellow NS users would like to know this as well. =]
1) With Root Explorer or a similar file explorer app, tap on the Mount R/W button on the top right corner of the app so it shows Mount R/O then locate & rename Superuser.apk to Su.apk. (/system/app)
2) Now locate build.prop (/system/) and tap and hold on the file and select Open in text editor.
3) Locate & rename test-keys to dEris-badass (lol) then save and exit.
4) I left USB Debugging enabled (some need to disable this)
5) Log in and watch some TV =]
** You need a Time Warner subscription.
** You need to be connected to your home network via WiFi.
** I'm using the latest version that is in the Play Store today.

Multiuser on Evervolv Rom

I followed the instructions on the Evervolv Touchpad Development forum to add additional users but ran into a bit of bother...
After entering:
su
setprop fw.max_users=5
at the terminal the 'Users' menu did appear and I then spent about an hour configuring my wife's account. Everything looked good, rebooted only to find that the second user was no longer on the home screen. Bummer.
I checked the build.prop and there was no sign of the fw.max_users=5.
I went ahead and edited the build.prop using an app (build.prop?) and added the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(You can manually edit the build.prop to add a line:
fw.max_users=5
...I didn't feel that comfortable with that)
I rebooted many times since and everything is nice and dandy. And the best bit?, when I rebooted the user I spent an hour adding was still there... class. Using for a while now and seems robust.
Some people are saying this is a bug with the Rom, to me (complete noob) it looks like an issue with rights to edit the build.prop through the terminal.

Hello, I have recently installed the twrp recovery, but when I tried to do a backup it give me an error about a path that can't be read. That path refer to the Facebook folder in /data/data/facebook-katana.
There is one file ( 6-lxk7_g5koNUrLwO82eQTzq6_w.cnt ) that can't be deleted. I tried with several file manager, like solid explorer, es file manager and the file manager from rom toolbox. Same result from the picture that I will post in this thread.
Also tried to go in recovery and use the recovery built in file manager to delete that file, but same results. How can I solve?
Here's the pic.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thinking off the top of my head, this may not work:
Download a terminal emulator from play store.
Enter the following commands, one after each other:
"su"
"cd data/data/facebook-katana"
"rm 6-lxk7_g5koNUrLwO82eQTzq6_w.cnt"
It may not work, but try it anyway!
Do post your results.

works for me on stock/cataclysm
i have same problem. please help
Without proper troubleshooting done on your part no one will help you.
Yep, flashed stock last night and I've had this happen before, power off your phone and power it back on. That's what's worked for me the 3 - 4 times I've had this happen, which always has been after flashing/starting over from scratch.
First download Magisk v20.4.
Then install it via twrp.
Download aptoide to computer.
Run adb install <your file directory> in cmd (or powershell and add .\ before adb).
At last open aptoide and turn on update for system apps,install beta apps and root installation. It will request root access.Grant the root access to it.Done.You can install any app on aptoide.If not on aptoide send the apk to me and I will upload it.

[HOW TO] Remove the new Forwarding limitation on Whatsapp (Root)

Probably you have seen this message in last days when you try to forward some messages in WhatsApp:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is a new limitation that prevents you send messages that have been forwarded many times.
I don't like that restriction, then I investigated a little bit on WhatsApp database msgstore.db and found a very promising table/field that stores the times a message has been forwarded.
So, I created a very simple task to clear this field removes the limit. You just would need to create a Run Shell task with the next command with root option:
Code:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db "update messages set forwarded = 0;"
busybox killall com.whatsapp
You need:
1. Magisk Root
2. Busybox Magisk module
3. Sqlite Magisk module
WARNING:
1. Do a Backup of Whatsapp before running it.
2. I'm not responsible for any damage you can do to your Whatsapp in case you don't make a backup first.
3. Whatsapp can change this at any time, enjoy it while it lasts.
