I just found my first phone ever and decided to start it up. I found out the password and decided to factory reset it since I’m planning on selling it. However, ever since I resetted it, it has been stuck on the same “Installing applications” screen (see image). I tried the volume up+power button+home button tactic and chose factory reset and then boot system, but it won’t budge. Anybody know how to solve this?
I use my Galaxy S6 as dedicated GPS/maps head unit for my bike (Garmin is too expensive).
To get newer maps I had to reflash the rom to some hacked together Lineageos. With Odin/heimdal tool it was basically foolproof.
You can get to bootloader so it will be easy. Worse is bricked phone without access to it.
I was doing the same thing first with a Nexus 5 but quickly discovered that neither the battery nor gps were up for this task. Got a sigma rox 11.1 recently and for 100 bucks this thing is worth it, but it doesn’t have maps and only shows a preloaded route instead.
I use it with ROX 4.0, I have full maps in phone and when I see that the pre-planned route is bad I check it on the phone.
With this use it can do 2 - 3 days of riding. But with navigation battery is dead in 3-4 hours.
Still this setup is about 4x cheaper than basic Garmin.
Ah, so no navigation, just maps. Yeah in that case a setup like this is unbeatable for the money. But it can‘t beat the guy I‘ve seen recently with a tablet sized map strapped to his bars.
