always booting into recovery

hello,

i've got a weird problem for some time now. i already have a workaround but it always requires me to hook the phone up to a pc.

the problem: after rebooting the phone to recovery, it gets stuck there.
i had this with cm12, cm12.1, temasek cm12.1, phronesis 2 and darklord N5 so i suppose the problem is not related to the roms itself.
if i long press power from running android and select reboot -> recovery the phone boots to recovery as expected.
whatever i do, after hitting reboot -> system in recovery it reboots to... recovery.
removing the battery for 5 minutes does not help.

the phone just keeps booting to recovery. the one fix i found so far is a mere workaround:
force download mode (vol down + home + power), hook it up to my pc, launch odin and flash twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar

this gets my phone to properly boot into normal android, but it always requires a pc. so using CM Updater oder CyanDelta with automatic installation of updates always gets me stranded in recovery while on the go.

what can i do to avaid this recovery bootloop? sure, i can just boot into recovery manually (vol up + home + power), but i suppose there is a real "fix" for this. do i have the wrong recovery? did i pick 5 roms with all the same bug?

this is really really annoying, especially if i forget about the problem and reboot into recovery from long-press power...

my N3 is a n9005 running on custom roms since late 2014 (i.e. i havent got all the official OTA updates which may be available)

LG V410 (AT&T LTE) rooted tablet, but /system always ro

I rooted the tablet using Purple Drake. The procedure completed successfully and RootCheck affirms that the tablet is rooted.

So why can't I mount /system as rw and have it be honored? I can actually mount it rw, but that seems to be for show only as any attempt to write to /system results in a "Read-only file system" error. I even tried the highly recommended RootExplorer, but it too shows the new status as rw, but writes produce the "Read-only file system" error.

"adb remount" has the same effect.

I don't know what else to try. I'm trying to fix a problem with the audio output, but the fix requires editing xml files located in /system/etc. Argh. :mad:

Suggestions are most welcome. Thanks in advance.

Wrist Gestures doesn't always work and why does the main watchface disappear?

Two very disappointing things. I got the mesh band watch and noticed right off the bat that the watch is very poor at recognizing wrist gestures. It does not show the main watch face unless the wrist is flicked strongly.

Is there any way to keep the main watchface on all the time instead of it being replaced when the watch is not being looked at? What's the point of these fancy watchfaces if they do not stay on?
