... Long time nexus user (galaxy -> 4 -> 5 -> 6). After 4 years of nexus phones, I just want to try something different and the note 5 seems like a worthy upgrade. Anyway, the only thing I'd miss is messing around with the DPI. I read in the Note 4 forums that DPI can be changed using ADB commands without root. I realize this may mess up some TW native apps but that probably wouldn't bother me much.
Would this be possible on the Note 5? Would this trip Knox? Thanks.

Hi
I know why it's generally not a good idea to do this because it would probably mean passwords would have to be stored in plain text on the device, but in this case the trade off in security is absolutely worth it for me!
An app I use regularly demands a password when opened if its been inactive for longer that about 10 minutes - this password is very long so I'd like to assign a keyboard shortcut to it so as to make the whole process less of a hassle. What's the best way to do this? My device is rooted.
Cheers!

is this possible?
No android security protocols wont allow it.
So there's no way around it whatsoever?

I'm not sure if this will work, but maybe you can use gestures. You can make a gesture to type out the specific password in
the typing field.

I'm going something will become available, it would come in handy.

Yes, it is possible. However, you'd have to go through the work of dualbooting it yourself since MultiROM is not yet capatible with Nexus 5.
However, MultiROM works with both the Nexus 4 & 7. I'm guessing that the 5 is not too far away.
hey'o. When do you think the developers will port lollipop onto this device? I know i takes time, I know nothing about porting or how to do it, all I know is it takes a while. I know this topic makes me sound like I'm begging or I don't know anything about how long it takes to make a port.
The phone is probably too old to handle Lollipop (duh). Just look at the Nexus 7 2012 with Lollipop. It's a laggy mess.
Not just lag, it's also work to re-partion to add more space to /system and update the kernel for api/abi compatibility.

Are you using a Galaxy S4? If so you're on the wrong forum dude. Just pointing that out.
Is it possible to restore app data (mainly for a game) from my N5 to my new S6?
My N5 is rooted if it helps but my S6 isn't.
Yes just use TB I do this with every phone I own and most of the time never have problems.

I just recently purchased a Nexus 5 online and it came pre loaded with Android M, which I was excited for. However with me using the camera a lot, Android M is not for me. (Camera pictures flipping, app crashing, etc.)
Can someone provide a stock lollipop ROM, or let me know if there is a way to downgrade and keep stock? I am all for rooting and flashing, but with Nexus devices it's just made for stock OS.
A flashablr tar.md5 file would be preferred because I like to use Odin, but otherwise a .zip will work too.
Thanks!

A second hand phone? Being M doesn't ship stock on anything yet.

Yes, I dropped my galaxy s5 and there was no external damage, but the drop damaged the internal sound card. So all audio was heavily static.
I used a website called swappa.com to buy my new phone.

I paid $225 for a Mint condition Nexus 5. Came with box, original cables, still had plastic on the camera and screen. Came with 2 cases too. Not to mention 1 day shipping.
