I am trying to install a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to use on my Amazon Firestick. I was told I need to install settings.apk. Does the settings.apk file get installed on my phone or tablet or does it get installed to the Amazon Firestick?
I'm fairly new to side loading files. I tried installing settings.apk to both my Samsung Galaxy S5 and my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 but both devices fail to install the settings.apk file. Can someone direct me to a "How To Guide" with step by step instructions of what to do exactly in what order to allow me to set up my Amazon Firestick to be used with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse? I'm totally frustrated at this point
Thank you in advance
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

Hi,
I have the SM-i900 Version with the snapdagon s801 x Quad Core, Qualcomm_LTE.
Guys, Screen Mirroring does NOT work when you are in Custom Status, this happened to be the same story when I googled and found S4 users had the same issue, was the same post after post after post of people stating the same thing "I get an error or hardware device error when screen mirror starts" or "It will start for 4 seconds then stop"
I have tried Triangle away, this did nothing.Kernel makers, Devs, wizards. Can you guys whip up something for this, it has nothing to do with Knox I don't care about knox. The problem is when you flash custom kernel it will give your phone custom status. Offcourse I can get official status if I flash the original kernel, but then whats the point of having an android if you cant tweak it. I mean Its kind of ridiculous not being able to run one of the BEST features of future tech "Screen Mirror" This has SO MANY uses its crazy not to be able to use it.
Can anyone direct me or maybe help find a way, this is for all of u, one day when you need to use it you will be asking Same question if you love tweaking your rom, you would not want to flash everything back to stock just so you can use that feature.
Ok Guys I found something -
So I grabbed the S800 Version as it was the closest to the S5 S801 I replaced the the file, First it reboot when I started Screen mirroring, then I tried it again and guess what? This time it actually worked and it mirrored my device onto the TV and then I see FC >> Allshare cast S/W Update
This is the update that is in the playstore, which gets updated automatically.
Anyway I can tell it doesnt work 100% so I removed it again.
I think we are very close to solving this problem, If we can somehow port this file to a S801 Version then I bet you Screen mirror will work.
Here is the File fix which was created for the S4 - I9506 S800 ---- http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...7&d=1409380066 From the same link I pasted below
I wonder if this can be ported to the S5 I dont think it should be that hard with the right tools.
Here is the S5 S805 Version https://www.dropbox.com/s/bpqtkskqcc...ht_wfd.so?dl=0
It will be greatly appreciated if someone was able to do it.
What I found out it is all about HDCP. and turning it off, I think its the same thing as Enforcing Selinux , If I was able to decompile a *.SO file in Windows I think I may have chance to do this myself.

OK my friend
is there any solution for sm g900h
Hey,
I want to ask if it's possible to use USB OTG when the Tablet is rooted after using a Tool like "USB Host Check" which can activate OTG on several phones/tablets?
Otherwise I won't root it and bring it back tomorrow.
I saw a lot of comments on OTG but actually no one really wrote sth. about rooting it and using such a tool afterwards with the new android version update. I hope someone can give me more information on that.
Greetings,
Cédric
Brought it back and took a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, for only 240€, instead
I recently dug out my tab pro 12.2 and bought the Samsung keyboard for an absolute steal. What a combo! Really enjoying the android tablet as a laptop.
Anyway... my tablet is rooted and on 5.1.1. After I updated to lollipop I lost the ability to multi window all my non-samsung approved apps. I've recently discovered and installed multi window commander which has finally enabled them all again! There's not been any mention of this app in all the forums etc that I was trawling for help so this info may be useful to someone out there!
Other apps didn't work for me and I didn't want to go down the route of deodexing / xposed etc so this worked out great!
Hello,
So I got a Lenovo Smart Tab (yt-x703f) and really want to flash TWRP to it, so I can flash LineageOS rom, but it seems like there's no support for it, or even a subthread on XDA.
(I tried various twrp images)
Anyone got some experience with that tablet and have something working?
Cheers
For some reason this device gets the silent treatment on all fora. I can't figure out why, this could be a great multimedia device with some adjustments. batt life is great as is the sound. Screen is ok ish and the speed needs to be tweaked, but no one is willing to tweak
You can root the device and even flash a GSI on it. Tested myself and everything is working
Yoga Smart Tab - Iron GreyPart Number: ZA3V0005US
Not sure if we are talking about the same device but lenovo does not support their mid tier devices with OS updates and would like to install a bloatless OS also pie is really dated and wondering if i will run in to issues with app compatibility. There is also that issue where it won't run HD in netflix because netflix is a static app and can not be removed and reinstalled. Hence bloatware and would love a clean google experience.

Flashing a GSI might help if the device supports Project Treble. Basically any device launched with Android 8 and above should support Project Treble.
Hi, I have a Lenovo Yoga smart tab (YT-X705L) and I want to install a new rom on it. I’m not an IT wizard so I need help with that. Would you find anyone who can give step-by-step instructions from start to finish with download links.
And if you can find experiences on how anything works (which is GSI). Thanks in advance.

Hello @mrfreakFIN . I have made a detailed thread about flashing GSI on this tablet. Check it here
I recently bought 2 of the new 2nd gen 7" Onn tablets with Android 10 Go Edition for my young kids. I have been able to root them with help from the wonderful people here.
Has anyone run into problems with the limitations of Android Go? Mainly it has disabled the "Draw over other Apps" permission/feature. This is mainly necessary for the childproof app locking protections I want to install.
As a work around I've have to get an old apk from a compatible app that doesn't request that permission, and this has worked so far. But I have other apps I'd like to use that don't have old apk's that work.
I assume once we finally get a full copy of Android running on one of these we won't get that feature. Just curious if anyone has another work around?
If you have them rooted, have you looked for a magisk module that might allow it? I am playing with flashing an Android 10 GSI right now. If I can get it running right I will post in the other thread I started
