Yeah, it says unknown.

Not sure what the difference is. I only see a sleep option that ranges for 15 seconds to 30 minutes. If I leave the screen on all the time, the battery isn't going to last very long.

Sorry! Just frustrated.

Where do I check this?

Worth a shot I guess. I've been using the SIM in my old Centro for a couple days now; no issues.

I'll check that out too.

Thanks for all the tips! If it turns out that I need to re-flash to stock, any tutorials on the subject?

Hey folks, I've been searching like crazy to find it but can't find any info. Is there a way to install fresh firmware on these devices. I don't want custom anything, I have a feeling that the firmware on this device is corrupted but can't get it into recovery mode. I have been able to get it into what appears to be a download mode(shows a lightning bolt and gear) Trying to fix it for a friend, but not having much luck. Any help would be massively appreciated.

Hi all,

this thread would like to be a shortly introduction about root user permission on general android platform!

As we all know the root user in Unix-based OS is the user with UID equal to 0.

Many threads talks about gain root on android by means of magic oneclick tool or by way of flashing custom recovery on device then copy the fantastic ChainsDD's su binary and install superuser or another apk to manage privileged action request .

Do we really need? Probably! But we maybe only want a root prompt, root privilege through adb shell or on the terminal emulator, this is certainly possible.

Deafult android shell is /system/bin/sh, if we could run it through, for example, an executable owned by user with UID 0, and if there was a Unix access rights flags that allow users to run an executable with the permissions of the executable's owner, we probably would get a root shell only by running that executable! Easy!

Only one thing, we should know a method for push our unsecure setuidded executable owned by root under the /system/xbin directory, which is also owned by root!

For example, might be possible to dump our /system, mount the filesystem data on a Linux box (which we know the root password), copy the unsecure elf under the correct path, and then flash back the modified /system image to our device, all with the original bootloader, without any custom recovery.

Once done, if we run the executable, ta daaan....

If someone wants to get his hands dirty:

void main()
{
setuid(0);
system("/system/bin/sh");
}

this can be enough!

If you're like me who doesnt like volume wake mods, well I found a solution, It's not really my build or anything just wanted to share it with everyone how awesome this guy is. All you gotta do is install cwillison94's mod after you install a new rom. I believe this only works for Jelly bean so dont try this on an AOSP rom plz. I believe this add's a theme to your keyboard and ripple effect to your lockscreen

Step 1: Install your jelly bean rom normally.

Step 2: Go back to TWRP/CWM and install cwillison94's mod v1.1 : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2269777

Step 3: Reboot and done,

Please thank cwillison94 for creating this mod. So far I've been using my phone normally for around 3 days with no issues! no more volume wake mod~

[Oppo Find 5] newbcake:
How does one port ROMs to another phone? I'm looking to try and port Xylon to the Find 5.
[Oppo Find 5] mbh87:
it's really not that difficult. just have to adjust some overlays, change some stuff in vendor and maybe grab the camera from CM if the changes haven't been made to that ROM.
[Oppo Find 5] paperWastage:
if you are building from source:

Find the 4.2.2 source code of the ROM you want to port

Get the manifest.

Add the CM10.1 device/kernel tree and proprietary libs in the .repo/local_manifest/roomservice.xml

sync all the repos

(do whatever the source might need you to set up: EG paranoid android, need you to setup your device properly in vendor/pa/* files)

compile. Fix any problems(maybe missing files, etc)

you could try a non-4.2.2-based ROM to port, but you'll run into more incompatibility issues to fix
[Oppo Find 5] newbcake:
So would you say just use this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2232773

And the CM10 for our Oppo?
[Oppo Find 5] mbh87:
No, build from source since it's available.
[Oppo Find 5] newbcake:
You mean Oppo's source or AOSP from Google? I presume AOSP
[Oppo Find 5] paperWastage:
assuming this is the one you want to port (it is using 4.2.2, so hopefully it'll be easier)

read their README: https://github.com/XYAOSP/buildscripts

use repo and checkout this manifest

https://github.com/XYAOSP/platform_manifest/blob/jb4.2/default.xml

use repo and sync all the repos

then see how I get the device specific files here? do the same https://git.ngvincent.com/projects/oppo-x909-cm10/wiki/Build#Get-device-specific-sources-and-build

then follow whatever instructions needed to build. if it uses CM based building (which i think they do here, then do

. build/envsetup.sh && brunch

select the find5 entry (if it;s not there, then do lunch, select find5, mka)

wait for it to fail. read error message. fix error message. repeat last 3 steps ..

Google is your friend... learn to love google

---------------------------------------

you should try building CM10.1 first. there will hopefully be no errors, and you learn how to use brunch/lunch/breakfast / etc

[Oppo Find 5] newbcake:
Is there something wrong with the Xylon repo? I keep getting this:

Cannot fetch htc-msm8960/[some path here]
[Oppo Find 5] paperWastage:
use google and your own intuition to help you (this is why you should build the Cm10.1 ROM first.... the knowledge you gain will help you)

most likely either github is down, or the path referencing it is invalid, or something......

but the question is, do we need htc-msm8960? most likely no, since the oppo kernel is self contained

^^^ all this comes from experience.... seriously, go build cm10.1 for the find 5 first
[Oppo Find 5] mbh87:
we probably dont need it, but a lot of ROMs make you download ALL their devices and corresponding files.
[Oppo Find 5] newbcake:
Well, I removed the HTC lines from manifest.xml (maybe not a good idea?) but anyway, it finished syncing after.
[Oppo Find 5] paperWastage:
yeah... it's a problem with a simple fix.... if the error was something like "packages_mms_app", then it's a more serious problem.....

does removing that repo mask a larger problem? that's why I'm pushing for OP to

start small first by building CM10.1

, and learn the environment (instead of posting every single problem he encounters here, and asks for help)

I've only started playing with android source code in March/early april... and these are things that I've learned/picked up since then.
[Oppo Find 5] newbcake:
Understood. I'm syncing up the Cm10 now. Thanks!

Is is best to do this all on Linux, Mac, or Windows?
[Oppo Find 5] mbh87:
It isn't possible to do it on windows so one of the other two.

[Oppo Find 5] paperWastage:

[Oppo Find 5] newbcake:
I tried compiling CM10, and am even having problems with that. Google did not seem to help for this. Here is what I did:

I did the mka, then mka otapackage, and NOTHING is appearing. No zips at all.

hardware/qcom/media/mm-video/vidc/vdec/src/omx_vdec.cpp:9925:138: warning: format '%d' expects argument of type 'int', but argument 5 has type 'OMX_U32 {aka long unsigned int}' [-Wformat]
make: *** wait: No child processes. Stop.

That is the last fine before it gives me control of terminal again.
[Oppo Find 5] paperWastage:
a few tips

typically, compilers only stop when there's an error, not warnings (unless you set flags like -Werror )

compiling is parallelized.... let's say you have a quad core, you can compile 4 projects simultaneously... when you have an error on the first make file, it stops.... but the other 3 projects will continue compiling and outputting logs until they're done (then the scheduler sees the first make file has an error, doesn't execute any more make builds and halts), so the last log file/line might not be showing you the error

For CM10.1, find5 is official now... you can just use brunch instead of breakfast/lunch & mka
[Oppo Find 5] newbcake:
In essence, I scour the log for errors?

I just presumed as CM10 already existed on the Oppo Find 5, it would be an error-free compile.
[Oppo Find 5] paperWastage:
you could source the log for errors

or just run the compile script again and again.... the scheduler will continue building other packages, but it'll come to a point where it can't build anything else without that broken package.... and hence, the error in the log will be obvious(since everything else is already built, no logs from them)

it should be an error-free compile, but sometimes things could happen (a small tweak in package/A gives some problems when compiling with package/B)

I would say, most likely there's some build package incompatibility in your system.

no, it read all device storage!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel644:
this is yet another reason why 99% of people Don't use the stock music player, the 2 typical options are to put all your music on the external sd card and then put a .nomedia file on the root of the internal as has already been mentioned, but even that is not perfect as the stock media scanner sucks balls, it will skip perfectly good songs just because of some kind of error in there ID3 tags aswell, for these reasons it is best to get a BETTER player with most importantly it's own media scanner, personally I use POWERAMP, it will allow you to select only specific folders, or the file size thing, like mentioned before and doesn't have the faults of the stock scanner (I had like 40 more mp3's come up on it's scanner versus the stock one).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogeday:
Hello everyone, I'm using Motorola Atrix with Epinter CM10 4.1 ROM for last 2 months, I was very happy with battery life. Phone wasn't getting hot and with normal usage, even with 3G on (in my country only options are 2G and 3G), I could get %40 of battery end of the day. But for no reason, phone has started to get hot (only 2G on) and drains battery really quickly for last 1 week. I can't even get %5 battery left from morning to evening now. I didn't change anything, only installed Adobe Flash 11.1, then I deleted it but nothing has changed. Phone gets into deep sleep no problem with that, no background apps. I did a virus scan both on phone and from computer, both came out clean. I reinstalled rom. Nothing. I'm gonna crash my phone against wall it's really annoying. I think I'm gonna do factory wipe and reinstall rom again.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maringer:
Do you leave wifi switched on at all times?

I use MIUI on my Atrix (partially based on epinter's work, I believe? Correct me if I'm wrong), but I have found that the phone suddenly starts staying awake for no apparent reason a while (often a couple of days) after I've left wifi switched on. This obviously causes bad battery drain. I can usually get the phone to sleep again by rebooting with wifi switched off (I think) and a battery pull is invariably required.

I now just switch on wifi when I have large files to download then turn it off straight afterwards.

Not sure if it is the same issue or not, but Better Battery Stats (which can be downloaded on xda) indicated the Rilj process was stopping the phone from sleeping when this problem occurred. It is worth trying this app to see if it gives any indication what is causing your battery drain.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogeday:
No I switch between mobile data and wifi. Thank you for your suggestions and opinions but I really don't think my problem is about sleep. It started to get hot and drain when I actually use the phone. For example, I was checking Twitter for 10 min. with 3G and battery was dropping %1. Now it drops %5 with 2G on and gets really hot like 35-37 Celsius degree. I'm using Watchdog to oversee processes and nothing is working without my knowledge on background.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldirai:
install gsam battery monitor to see your phone's awake time. this drain happens to me also when i listen to music or take a photo. something with mediaserver keeps the phone awake and then only thing to do is kill mediaserver or a reboot.

Little update.

I turned back to factory settings, then did a full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe. I was so annoyed I even did system wipe manually from advanced options in recovery. I reinstalled Epinter CM10 rom, got my apps back thanks to Titanium Backup. Installed GSAM (thanks to saldirai), downloaded SetCpu and chose Nvidia Tegra 2 T20/AP20H, underclocked to 912 mhz. Couldn't done any undervolting sadly, says something about governor.

Now I'm checking battery stats and temperature by GSAM, so far no complaints and better from yesterday BUT I haven't use my phone heavily yet. Temperature changes between 26-31 Celsius degrees, battery drops %1-2 percent on use -also it needs calibration- with only wifi use which is always on. I'll update this post if anything changes.

Update: I think I've found the problem. When I choose The Weather Channel widget to "use my location" phone immediately starts to get warm. Weird point is, this wasn't an issue before. Apart from that I'm playing New Star Soccer and Carmageddon for 3-4 hours with wi-fi full time on and battery drops to %30. I'm really happy about that. Normal battery temperature is about 25-32 during the day and different from before it quickly gets cold after I stop playing games. Just like before.

When I load the app it is a black screen with just the Music Player icon in the upper left and it freezes there until I hit back, and it FCs.

I had disabled some samsung apps at the beginning but I reenabled everything and still freezes. Even the google player doesnt work like it should, doesnt let me jump to a different point in a song. Doing so just skips to the next track. So I installed Sensor music player and works no prob. Just a shame tho cuz I quite like the samsung music app (especially the mood thing in the JB version)
