[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartxdev:
Hi.

I enabled encryption in CM10.2.1 (it used only /data encryption, and no SD card encryption, or so I understood), all was fine, I could do NANDroid backup/restores with TWRP, modify encryption password with CryptFS Password app, and all was good.

Today, I desided to upgrade to CM11 M6, so I boot to recovery, used my password to unlock partitions, wiped data, system, cache, and installed CM11 M6. All is good and nice.

When I booted to CM11, it promted me for the old password, all fine, then, i gone to Security Settings, in a look for SD card encryption. I didn't find any' as It was shown as already encrypted, with no options.

I decided to change encryption password using the CM11 in Security menu, to hopefully reinvoke encryption of SD card.

Anyways, I rebooted, this time I used the NEW password to boot the phone, all fine.

Then, I booted to Recovery, and TWRP doesn't accept my new password!!?!?! I can boot to system with it, but not the recovery.

I thought maybe it's CM11 bug on how it changes the encryption, so I've downloaded CryptFS Password app I used before, and changed my password back to old one.

But I still can't unlock /data in TWRP!!:crying:

I can't restore back to 10.2, can't wipe.

I tried to flash Stock ROM with ODIN, but it failed with an error, and phone won't boot besides Download Mode,

so I reflashed TWRP via ODIN, then it booted to samsung logo, promted for password, but just as TWRP it doesn't recognize it.

I went back to TWRP and installed CM11, since it matched the data partition, I can successfully boot to CM and it accepts the password (but not in recovery:crying:)

Bottom line: I need somehow get back a working recovery, by either flashing stuff and removing encryption or anything else...

So i any of you folks can any idea ho to make that happen, I'd be very very glad to hear suggestions....:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartxdev:
It's kinda silly, but I found a solution... So if anyone wonders the same question as me, here it is.

And actually, it was there all the time:

In TWRP, under "Wipe" menu, there is "Format Data" function, which will effectively remove the encryption from the device :)

(alongside with all the data of course)

I always used "Advanced Wipe" to try to format before, but it didn't removed the encryption, and always failed to format /data.

So, I didn't think that "Format Data" would be any different, but it was..

And seems, like it actually is there to remove the encryption.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James L:
This worked great, different device M8 running Cm 11. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkAndroid.UK:
Wiping & Formatting are entirely different; wiping simply deletes files and folders and makes all space in the partition available for writing to, whereas formatting prepares a partition in a particular way, for use as if for the first time, which will also cause any data that was there to be deleted too. Formatting will simply overwrite stuff whether it is encrypted or not.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartxdev:
Hi, I'm well aware about the terminology.

The thing is that such terms are loosely used all over the place and it often hard to guess the actual intention behind the brief description.

There are plenty of programs that kind of "delete" full partition content by actually formatting it, programs that "wipe" data by again, formatting the drive and rewriting the data.

While some of the programs "format" partitions/drives by rebuilding the file system tables without wiping the actual data. And programs that "wipe" properly by leaving the file system intact.

Hence was my confusion about it...

Anyways, eventually I've figured out how it works, and it seems to be helpful to others as well :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkAndroid.UK:
Oh really? Examples?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartxdev:
Yes, really.

No Joy

Didn't work for me. Says success in TWRP for the format, but still can't see USB Storage. Still encrypted. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartxdev:
I'm not sure if USB Storage is related, The procedure I mentioned formats the build-in phone memory, not external USB. Maybe you have problem accessing USB storage from TWRP, and this is whole other issue.

If you can install a new ROM and boot into it without any "enter password to decrypt storage" prompts, then you've removed the encryption from the device, regardless of USB storage state.

"Format Data" worked for me. Thanks!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwaxi:
This worked for me, too.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engmia:
Format Data worked for me as well. For anyone experiencing similar issues, make sure you choose the FORMAT option, and the wipe one.

I had tried all kinds of previous solutions prior to that, including formatting the partitions through adb, with no luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheremenin:
Absolutely couldn't decrypt my Redmi 4 Prime for some time no matter what I tried, it would just boot into TWRP when selecting factory reset and nothing else worked. And somehow I didn't notice the second glaring button after Advanced Wipe which was FORMAT DATA. Failed to mount data once for some reason on my first attempt, rebooted the recovery, it didn't actually ask me for a PIN after the reboot which was a massive "whew, finally" moment for me at that point. Ran it again, formatted internal storage nicely, as a small added bonus removing all the bloat (I don't wipe it very often) from past installations and MIUI (currently on an RR ROM) and gaining some performance.

Thanks a lot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hagure:
Hey yall,

I'm thinking this might now be possible until root is gained, but is it possible to run ssh through the terminal?

I know there are apps like JuiceSSH & BetterTerm Pro, but I specifically need to ssh with a key through the shell.

Reason:

I used to have a Tasker profile that when activated (by location context) would write to a text file on my server, which would be the catalyst for my other computers and devices to switch contexts and run various scripts & such.

Sigh………I'm thinking it was a big mistake to get this phone between the 4.4 SD card lockout & stupid Verizon locking.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skynyrd420:
I think ssh is possible, how, I have NO IDEA but in the irc channel #sgs5 (maybe in a thread here somewhere and not on irc, idk )someone mentioned we may get root faster if we set up ssh so a dev could adb shell and let a dev without a physical device tinker.... I'm probably way off though, or maybe the person that posted was off and mislead me through my own lack of knowledge.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hagure:
Ah, I saw that in the big root thread here. I believe they're referring to starting an SSH *Server* on the phone, kinda the opposite of what I'm asking. But thanks for your input though!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spuniun:
I don't think you would need root for this. Both JuiceSSH and BetterTerm should support shell scripts that can be called from Tasker.

Hi guys I have a Samsung S4 GT-I9500 with stock KK. However, the sound with the headphones is too low. Is there any way I can improve the volume without flashing a Custom Rom or Custom Kernel? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandark52:
I would rather prefer to improve audio quality instead of volume. Use the Adapt sound feature of your stock music player or you can use Vipers audio. It will increase your volume and quality but consumes more RAM.

Sprint gs5, CM-root, TWRP, SDfix...

I have an app which I do not want updates to...

The developer is making changes to the app to fix issues with other brands/models...

The current version works well on mine and I don't want it to update to a version which might break it for my brand/model...

In the playstore I disabled auto-update, but it still shows up in the manual and group update list...

I went into titanium (pro) and detached it from the market and it showed 'attach to market (forced)'

I checked playstore and it is off my app list...

Several minutes later it re-appeared in playstore and titanium went back to 'detach from market'

So the detach function is not sticking...

Any Ideas?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevelationOmega:
Its been an issue with Titaniium before and appears as it does on your device. Try this:

1) get the Apk you wanna detach (ex using TitaniumBackup) into location you can easily get to (ex. SD card)

2) install ZipSigner from play store

3) re-sign the extracted Apk using ZipSigner and test key

4) uninstall the original app and install the re-signed Apk you made

5) profit
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HsHTCsen:
Hi, I realise this is an old post but it's something I've been trying to do for a while too. I've finally accomplished it successfully so I thought I'd share it on in some of the topics.

It works by changing the apk signature so the app typically becomes 'different' to the one on the Google Play Store and therefore doesn't appear in your Google Play Store list. But by doing this, you won't be able to update the app from Play Store.

How to:

Need Root.

First do a TB backup of current apk just to keep it.

With a file explorer, go to root\data\app and copy the app apk that you want to change and paste it somewhere on SD card.

Now uninstall the app

Download and install: ZipSigner by Ken Ellinwood from Play Store.

Open ZipSigner, choose input file and navigate to earlier copied apk

I used key/mode: auto-testkey

Sign the file

The new signed apk will be put in the same directory the original file was.

Now install that signed apk and your're done. Check market.

Worked for me - hope it works for you!

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus300:
I have a Kindle Fire Hd 8.9 and just installed CM11. Now I find that many of my apps and games do not make sound as they are supposed to. Also, my notifications do not make sound. Although YouTube does work as far as audio is concerned.

Is this issue a CyanogenMod thing, or can I fix it by myself?

Thanks!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pokeroo:
Did you get this fixed?

I've been on a bunch of CM11 builds and have never had audio issues (apart from the occasional stuttering that was fixed in one of the recent builds). Did you check the md5 for the rom you downloaded? Was it a dirty flash over a previous rom?

If you're still having the same problems, I would just factory wipe and reflash.

sorry for the late reply. It could have been a dirty flash. When I updated to a newer build, the issue went away. So it's all good!

[Zooper Widget General] robgross:
I am trying to figure out how to calculate dewpoint from temperature and humidity. The formula is ridiculously long, but there is a simple formula that gives an approximation, which is good enough for my purposes.

Td = T - ((100 - RH)/5).

Td = Dewpoint in degrees Celcius

T = Temperature in degrees Celcius

RH = Humidity

Since my phone is in degrees F. I had to convert to degrees C. This is what I did, but it doesn't work, I think because of the % symbol attached to the humidity variable: $int((#WCTEMP#-32)*5/9))-(100-#WCHUM#)/5)$. The problem is, it just displays exactly what I typed, it doesn't do the math. Can anyone point a noob in the right direction? It is probably obvious, but I am still trying to figure out zooper.

I have seen other requests for a dewpoint variable on the forums, so there is a demand out there. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[Zooper Widget General] robgross:
I downloaded Tasker but haven't had time to learn it yet...but I will! I do know that ZW sees #WCHUM# as text, so it will not formulate it. I tried using #WCHUMN# to see if it would dispay the value as a number, as #WCTEMPN# does...but that didnt work. Thanks for following up!
[Zooper Widget General] MrBiggzz:
Christmas in May!

Dave Handler shares a file with you, please click the link to download: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/1/view/qqiv1skjchq7ifu/Tasker Projects/Yahoo_Weather.prj.xml

In it are two tasks Input Zip code which uses a scene to well, get the zip!

The other task is Get Yahoo Weather. That uses a variable that gets set when you set the zip code.

Set your zip and the run the weather task and then check the variables tabs. You'll see every thing that is supplied including the five day forecast.

You'll have to figure what you want and pass it on to Zooper. Every variable for weather is global!

Enjoy!

p.s. everything is in standard units. Fahrenheit, mph and inches. This only thing I didn't do is give you an indicator if the barometric pressure is falling, stable or rising. If you need it I can put it in there!
[Zooper Widget General] robgross:
Mr. Biggs, thanks for this, but I can't seem to open this link, it says it's not valid both in Tasker and a browser.
[Zooper Widget General] robgross:
MrBiggzz, I figured out how to use Tasker! It's a lot easier to use than I thought, and the possibilities are endless. Thanks for the tip!
[Zooper Widget General] g.andi:
I know its an old thread and i was seaching in this thread too; and now i solved by myself. I post here the solution for tasker if someone needs it:

You need to set up or read out from web 2 variables (%temp = temperature and %hum = humidity), once you have set the 2 variables you need to add a code java scriplet to the task to calculate dewpoint and absolute humidity:

function taupunkt() {

if ( (temp == null || temp == 0) ||

(hum == null || hum == 0) ) {

return;

}

var a1=7.45;

var b1=235;

tp=temp;

fw=hum;

tp=tp*1;

fw=fw*1;

x1=(a1*tp)/(b1+tp);

e1=6.1*Math.exp(x1*2.3025851);

e2=e1*fw/100;

x2=e2/6.1;

x3=0.434292289*Math.log(x2);

taux=(235*x3)/(7.45-x3)*100;

taux=Math.floor(taux)/100;

feux=(216.7*e2)/(273.15+tp)*100;

feux=Math.round(feux)/100;

var TAUX = taux;

setGlobal("TAUX", TAUX );

var FEUX = feux;

setGlobal("FEUX", FEUX );

exit ();

}

taupunkt()

The java scriplet calculate the dewpoint and the absolute humdity and stores it in the variable %TAUX (dewpoint) and %FEUX (absolute humidity). Now you can make a popup alert or whatever you want and display the dewpoint calling %TAUX and the absolute humidity %FEUX

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxbloodxrushxX:
Hello fellow XDA members. There are two big questions that I have regarding the nexus 5 and custom ROMS and files.

1) Is there a way to get USB OTG support from recovery? If so, which recovery would that be? I'd like to have my ROMS and GAPPS on a USB rather than them taking up significant internal memory.

2.) I've noticed while using a few different ROMS that my nexus will randomly say something referring to a new SIM card being inserted and that the phone needs to reboot. When I click reboot, I wait for the phone to boot completely into the UI and it says that I have no service. This is fixed by enabling/disabling airplane mode. I've also noticed that when that message shows up, if i don't click reboot, the phone will remain on and I don't have to restart the phone, and my network is fine. So my second question is, why is this message popping up? Is there a file I can flash to get rid of this message? How would I go about removing this message?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

As far as the SIM card goes, I can't see that being a problem because I've been very fragile with this phone and have had it in a case since the day that I got it.

It HAS to be something software related. I was on C-ROM and the error occoured. So I decided to install SlimRom from Original Dev. Much more stable, however the pop up messages persist. I really hope I don't have to restore my phone to complete stock and root again.

these NFC pins contains some internal circuits if you apply solder on it , then you will going to short circuit the hole circuit which may damage your NFC coil . you may damage your coil due to extensive heat due to solder . so please go to service center.
[Hardware Hacking General] motoi_bogdan:
yep, that's right, try not to diy this one. the circuit may tolerate a bit of heat but my main concern would be EM parasite charges from your solder iron. These can screw the gain for the amplifying circuitry linked to the nfc coils. This is also true for the GSM/GPS antenna and in some measure for the WLAN.

however it should be an easy fix for a service center since they have ESD safe equipments.
