What is migration/0?
I know it is part of the android OS and that it can sometimes be a resource or [in my case] a battery hog, but what I do not know is what it's purpose is or how I can curb it's hunger for my mAh's (milli-ampere hours)
Thanks
Edit: android OS* not system

my phone is in a bootloop, I need your guys' expertise!
Okay, I have to moto g. Me being the type of person to jailbreak on the first day when I switched to android I was up and running a custom rom the first day. I was running cyanogenmod 11. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617679). I also noticed the other kernel available there as well. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634745). so after all of that I thought well lets try flashing the kernel. I flash the kernel using CWM and its all great. Great untill booting up becomes a problem. It would not boot up unless I force rebooted it during its boot up cycle. So I decide I will just re-flash my cm11 and gapps and be done. I try to flash and it just spits it back out says something like installation was aborted. Don't know why. So I clear user data and the cache, re set up my device and its the same problem. Do it again and now the launcher does not work. Try doing a reset from settings and know CWM does not work and I get in a Bootloop. Please help! Thanks Reddit.

I installed Marshmallow; why are app updates still asking for new permissions?
I thought Marshmallow brought an app permissions scheme where apps would ask for permissions on demand instead of at install or update time.

DAE think pop-up prompts and the nav bar buttons on phab/tablets should align against the lower edges of the screen instead of way out in the middle??
Honeycomb had it right. I thought, "INGENIOUS!!" now their back to the middle of the screen so I have to grab hold with to hands, let go of the bezel and tap the home/back buttons. I wish the prompts like "are you sure you want to uninstall x" would align down within thumb-reach too.
:(

Android Pay - Forces Password/Pin. Any way around?
Hey guys,
I'm wondering if there is any way to make the PIN/Password for Android Pay be used on an app level vs entire phone. I don't lock my phone honestly as I can lock it remotely if I ever lose it.
But since I want to use Android Pay, I now have to lock my phone.
Any way around this? Suggestions?

I got a new tablet! Addiction avoidance help request.
Hi guys I just got my new tablet. I am very excited :) I reeeally don't want to ret too addicted to it. Last time, with some time interval I calmly and deliberately broke my galaxy s4, notebook(hp2510) and later dmtech tablet ($50). Then my tablet broke (manufacturing error, surface pro expensive). I found myself watching hours of aoe2 on youtube. 3 months later i sit at a library pc answering emails.. It is an improvement, but just that.
So why did I buy this?
I need to:
Do physiotherpy exercises from pictures on webpage. Maybe this can be automated with recorded instructions in powerpoint or the like.
Play music when having friends over (á la spotify)
Self research my health so that I have better arguments to doctors.
Log pain and food (think Excel and\or Myfitnesspal'sfood barcode scanner)
But thats it. I know a part of me wants do play AOE2 and geek out in the vast app ocean. But this time, my game of life has no restart. And I wont spend too much time on email. That is why I didn't buy a keyboard or pc. I do have a Doro phone unable to surf AND play snake. The phone is for emergency mainly.
What can I do? To make sure I limit my time in front of a screen?
What can I do to make sure the software\web engineers don't derail me?

A Bus traffic app in which I could enter my own schedule?
Heya all.
So where I live Google Now and other traffic apps are useless. My city is too small for big apps and big G to integrate bus/sub times.
What I am looking for is an app in which i could enter my own schedule.. I dont care, even by hand I will enter all the times of the busses I need, and then I would like app to tell (say in the notification center) when my next bus arrives!
I hope you can understand what im saying.. Is there an app like that?

Why does performance drop when updating apps?
I have had multiple smartphones running Android recently and they all perform fantastically.
Except, when updating apps! At this point I see a noticeable drop in performance of the phone and animations become slower and the whole OS seems unresponsive at times.
This has happened on the Moto G all the way up to the Samsung Galaxy S6 so it would appear to be an OS issue.
But what is the cause of this and is it possible to resolve?

How do I keep Inbox from marking bundled emails as done?
Nothing shows up in my inbox because for some reason their all marked as Done, when I haven't seen them. I don't get notifications either, I have to manually go to each label and check for any messages that I missed.

Do I have to use a custom launcher to lock icons in position?
I Dont know how it happens, prob from flipping my phone around etc, but icons frequently get moved around to different home screens on their own.
Its just bothersome because I want my home and next screen locked w their current setup..
Is there any way to do this?
Now as far as custom launchers Roms etc.. I Dont really get it.. Is the launcher like the whole interface (like toucheiz on my old Samsung - which was mostly like stock android w great addl features?).. Which launcher do you rec? I mean the feature I most want and miss is what Samsung had - change brightness, turn on off WiFi etc from pull down - which as I understand is coming to lollipop - but I may never get lollipop on my droid turbo?
BTW Motorola I'll never buy another phone from you, was all moto until Samsung, then got turbo for battery/timing of broken phone .. which in the end does usually get me through a day, but not as great as I hoped for... But seriously how is a flagship phone not getting the update and all of your others have?

[Galaxy S4] Regarding camera resolution
Natively the back camera takes photos at (4:3) 12.8 megapixels. While this is fine, but the pictures end up being several megabytes in size. Which can add up..
There are a few other sizes: (Ratio) megapixels..
(4:3) 3.1
(4:3) 0.3
(16:9) 9.6
(16:9) 2.4
(16:9) 0.9
I presume that the 0.3 and 0.9 megapixels are probably not recommended. But what about the 3.1, 9.6, and 2.4?
This is for just casual photo taking. Uploading to usual social media networks. And occasionally viewing them from home on the computer. I'm unfamiliar with the resolutions and aspect ratios for these things.
tl;dr: Just looking for a space conscious, photo resolution.

Problem with ISIS?
I have a brand new Note 3, I set up ISIS wallet it let me go through with it, passed the "secure SIM card" check. But I have tried to use it three times and three different places. I have tested NFC and I have beamed a few things, I have tried it with and without my case. I have no clue where to go from here.
When I touch pay paid NOTHING happens, as if it thinks it is just sitting in my pocket, there isnt feedback

Is there an app that lets me post photos to Facebook/update my status without having to log in each time?
I don't understand why Facebook is always my second-most data wasteful function (second only to tethering), even though I only use it two or three times a week to upload a photo-- I don't even browse with it.
It makes me uncomfortable just having it on my phone. (I mean, FB in general makes me uncomfortable, but like everyone else, I hold my nose and swallow).
Is there an app that lets me store my credentials and upload photos, other than the official app? Or alternately, should I install something like TinFoil or one of the other apps, and simply cripple FB that way?
Thanks for the advice.
