Hey everyone,

Please to be here and ever since I changed from Iphone to an Android, I am reading, flashing and trying new things with my device.

Unfortunately, I already came accross the biggest problem which you can have and I have no Idea what to do, nor do I find anything about this topic in the internet.

My Problem:

I flashed a developer version of the new Lollipop OS on the Phone, which did not really work... So I wanted to go back to KitKat 4.4.4 but also this didnt work and I tried a lot but as this developer version was very unstable, I couldnt install a custom recovery so I was stuck.

After a while I was so frustrated so I did the following:

First: I followed the instructions like in this FAQ to install the Kitkat version, which worked fine ainotech.com / how - to - flash - lenovo-s90 -sisley-root- and-custom-firmware (I added some spaces as i am a new user in here)

2. After I was so frustrated, I went into the bootloader mode, so I got access to the Com-ports

3. There I applied the bootloader unlock "trick" using QFIL and I hit the download button, after that the phone switched off and now is only vibrating shortly every 5 sec quickly.

I can plug it on the USB or on the charger, I can press buttons long or what so ever, but it does not switch on nor does it get recognised by the PC... NOTHING!

So any suggestions what I could do?

Thanks

Yeeeeeessssssssssss!!!! I can cry :D

It works, after 10 Month of testing. QFIL recover my Phone by the first try.

Thank you!

from where i can download qst file for my xperia c3(hardbricked)
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Hunter4207:
Unknown device under USB instead of COM port

Hello guys,

I have been trying to recover my Lenovo K910 from hardbrick, which was caused by me while updating firmware and modem through TS-TWRP. I hoped I could get to install Custom ROM with Android 5 properly. Now, my phone does not load up even the lenovo logo that is at the beginning, nor can I see any leg light lit.

Reading and following the guide that is on the very first page, I find myself to be stuck at post 4, point 4, a.k.a. "Connect your phone to PC through a USB cable pressing VOL-". No matter what I do or what I hold, I am not able to connect the device to the computer in that way that it would appear as "COM" device. It always connnects as "Uknown device" located unter USB ports (with error code 43). I have even tried holding the power button, but the phone just vibrates and reconnects as Unknown device again after releasing the power button. That being said, I am in great piece of sh*t and slowly falling into panic that my phone is never going to be the way it was.

Can I also ask for help here? It would be much appreciated. :(

Thank you

I think you must KNOW first what is your state of your phone currently. Your phone is "exactly" what the OP create this guide. Try install the drivers available. You can try by installing Qualcomm USB Driver, this driver will help to determine if your phone on "download mode" state. Did you follow and download all suggested file by this OP ? I arrived here in effort to revive bricked zte z5s mini (Qualcomm 8064). I'm on confusing how to get xxx.xml and patch.xml file for my phone :D

I need some help pleaaaase !!

Dear crowds,

I'll go directly to the point:

I followed all you've mentioned step by step, but when I use volume up + USB it's detected by emmc as "phone in download mode" it doesn't stay for more than 2 or 3 seconds, after that it goes to the black screen with blue light. And it's not detected anymore by emmc.

Please know that when it's on black screen with blue led, it's deteted in device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB diagnostics 9006

And when it's in download mode it's detected as Lenovo HS-USB QDloader 9008, but only for 2 or 3 seconds as I said,

I tried removing the battery cable and it's all the same...

My question is : How can I keep my phone in download mode for the needed time ?

Please HELPP !! Thank u in advance for your kind reply. :victory:

[size=+5]Screen Filter[/size]​

This mod puts a transparent view on top of the window manager in order to darken the whole screen.

Once activated, the mod adds a toolbox below the header of your expanded status bar where you can easily switch ON or OFF the filter and set its transparency using the seek bar (only if the filter is active).

A settings activity is also available to control the filter and other settings (such as tuning or hiding the toolbox).

Screen Filter is mostly designed to lower you screen's luminosity and allow you to use your device in the dark without killing your eyes, but you can also use it as a screen privacy guard!

Also, on AMOLED screens, reducing the luminosity improves your battery's lifetime!

[size=+2]Features[/size]

Darken the whole screen, including: soft keys (nav bar), toasts, cpu info (*)

While activated, the filter does not trigger Android's security against overlays (like preventing you from installing new apps) (*)

Filter's transparency and color are customizable

Add a toolbox in the extended statusbar (you can disable it in the settings activity)

Tasker/Locale integration

Transparency range can be changed (but the minimum cannot go under 15 in order to avoid completely black screen)

Works for both phone and tablet layouts

[size=-1](*) contrary to most "user level" screen filters on the market[/size]​

[SIZE=-1]Screen Filter has a settings activity and is recognized as a plugin in Tasker.[/SIZE]
​

[size=+2]Requirements[/size]

You need the Xposed framework installed (and working, of course).

Screen Filter works with ICS (4.0.3), JB, KK and Lollipop

Should work well on any AOSP based ROM

May work on some stock ROM, please report your result (good or bad) if you give a try!

Would it be possible to make this open source?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rom:
Thanks but i don't get to do transparancy setting, help me please..
[Xposed Framework Modules] mauam:
Been looking for this for a long time. Working flawless on CM11, keep it up:cool::good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] tony78960:
Yes, very probably!

But first I need to find a suitable license and clean up my source tree a bit...
[Xposed Framework Modules] tony78960:
According to your signature you are using CM 10.1, right? It should work like a charm...

It may not interfere but did you enable PowerWidgets in the expanded statusbar?

Are you using some Xposed modules that act on the statusbar?

Do you have any error log in the Xposed installer's "Log" tab?

Dumb question: did you reboot you device after enabling Screen Filter in the Xposed installer?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rom:
I am on CM 10.2, yes i have other modules that act on statubar like XBlast Tools, Gravitybox, check my log in attachment :)

Edit: And i have reboot my device :) I can look it:
[Xposed Framework Modules] tony78960:
Nice!

Most of the errors in your logs are thrown by AlternateAppPicker, LiveIcons and GravityBox. Maybe you should warn the developers of these modules...

Looking at you screenshot I added the following point in my to-do list: "Ability to change the background of filter's settings"
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rom:
Thank you very much, i will tell authors of these addons :)

Can you explain me how to change transparancy settings ?

Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mauam:
:laugh:Forgot to say previously, this is a great battery life saver:cool: Thanks once more tony, you made my day:laugh::good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] rignfool:
Feature request...

Could you put in an auto time thingy...

Example...

After 9pm (when the sun is down) the screen filter kicks in saving my night vision or keeping me from having 'stare at the phone insomnia'

Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] tony78960:
Nice idea, added to the to-do list :cowboy:

A thing to remember is that Screen Filter adds a layout on top of the screen to make it darker, so it assumes that you are already at the lowest luminosity. I do not plan to make the module control backlight luminosity as well.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rom:
[MENTION=4272306]tony78960[/MENTION] Can you explain me how to change transparancy setting please ? :angel:
[Xposed Framework Modules] tony78960:
Sorry, I missed your last post...

Just touch the "OFF" toggle button in your expanded status bar to activate the filter.

Once it is enabled, the "OFF" text is replaced by current value of the transparency (from 0 to 255, but locked between 50 and 200 for now) and you can drag the seek bar next to the toggle button to change the transparency.

:good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] mauam:
He don't mean that (I think). He's asking about the black background & how to make it transparent. I'm using xblast & gbox, but as I like it black it's not big deal for me:)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rom:
No problem :good:

I understand what you told me and it took me 50 but it does not change the transparancy, I upload my SystemUI.apk maybe?

And i have send logs at devs to check my errors ;) :highfive:

Edit: [MENTION=3563392]mauam[/MENTION]: yes, you have understand, i want to change the toggles transparancy :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] mauam:
You can't for now (I think), unless the dev add an option to change the background color/opacity.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rom:
Okkkk that's what I thought, I can indeed change the brightness of the screen (and it must not have sight problems hihi) but not the transparancy in fact I understand now if meiux tony78960 has yet to add this feature .. :D

[MENTION=4272306]tony78960[/MENTION] For next version can you put an interface in your app to change setting (instead of in notification drawer) or ad an option have the choice please ? :cool:
[Xposed Framework Modules] tony78960:
No problem! [MENTION=4945839]TimeAndroid[/MENTION], in short, once configured, Screen Filter does not use anything in term of memory or power and nothing is running in the background.

Here are some details, Screen Filter is divided in four parts:

a system service.

It does not "run", it's more a passive gateway added to Android's core that stores filter's settings (a few bytes) and redirects messages from the toolbox or activity to the filter view.

the filter view.

It's just a passive semi-opaque overlay. While visible, the window manager may use some additional CPU cycles to blend the filter with the screen under it, but it's infinitesimal...

a toolbox injected into SystemUI.

This part is a modification of System UI and will only consume some power if you play with the seek bar (a signal is sent to the filter via the service each time the transparency level changes).

an activity to control the filter.

This may be the most memory and power consuming part, but only when you are interacting with the controls (see above).

To sum up, Screen Filter has a small memory footprint and consume almost nothing once configured. The only time it will consume energy is when you are dragging the seek bar (in the toolbox or in the activity) because it sends messages to the filter to change its transparency in real time.

There won't be any power saving on LCD screens. But for AMOLED screens, using a filter to diminish the luminosity will save your battery!
[Xposed Framework Modules] GalaxyWhy:
You know how you can enable slide over the status bar to change the brightness, imagine that but instead half of it is for normal brightness while when you drag further left it enables the screen filter. I don't even know if this is possible, but this would be ideal for me and others who want simplicity and elegance :P
[Xposed Framework Modules] //.dax:
[MENTION=4272306]tony78960[/MENTION] this module is the thing I really need, thanks for your work

I have a little question.. Is it possible to do similar module to this, but this one will change RGB filters instead of shadow?

3 filters over screen (RGB) and editing them will make the colors on display more warm/vibrant/cold etc.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jjgerva:

Thank you so much for clearing this out tony78960! Its quite interesting to see the details of how the module works as well, thank you for sharing.

tony78960,

Thanks for this terrific app. When I use it on my LG L39C Optimus Dynamic II running Jelly Bean Android 4.1.2, the toolbox does not show up in the extended status bar. The xposed log looks fine with no errors related to Screen Filter. Any ideas on why I don't see the Screen Filter toolbox?
[Xposed Framework Modules] mattisekk722:
Hi dev, my motorola razr xt910 with stock rom 4.1.2, screen filter works but there isn't the toolbox in the status bar. This is my files. Can you make this useful mod compatible with my phone?

Cheers

[Xposed Framework Modules] Dns94:
Hi. Nice app. It worked well on my Samsung Galaxy S5 with Omega rom until, the 1,2 update did arrive. Whenever I activate the module in Xposed and restart, I get the following message "com. Android.systemui" has stopped and I cannot do anything with my phone. So I had to remove the app, is there any known problem? :confused:
[Xposed Framework Modules] tony78960:
Sorry for the late reply, I am still a student (my last year before the engineering degree!) so I don't have as much free time as I would like...

Here is a loooong post, I apologize in advance.

I don't think it will be possible to add a setting into "Settings > Display > Brightness" because it would imply to support so many different implementations (AOSP, Custom, Stock this, Stock that...)

I will take a look at those two apps, but auto-brightness won't probably come before a long time.

Seems nice, but it is quite complicated to implement... Also, some ROM like CM or Stock Samsung can already control luminosity by sliding over the status bar so it may induce conflicts.

Nevertheless, "overlay control" is in the to-do list. It means that you will be able to create an active zone (visible or not) anywhere on the screen to allow you to control the filter.

Yes, color filter is in the to-do list. But improving screen's color range is out of scope.

Please enable debug log in Screen Filter, reboot your device, reproduce the crash, catch a full logcat (using your computer) and PM it to me (or post it here).

Also, try to retrieve Xposed's log (located in /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log/).

Thanks!

If the filter works from the activity, it's a good start.

Could you enable debug log in Screen Filter, reboot your device and attach Xposed's log here? Also, please provide your SystemUI.apk

Thank you for your report, I see what the problem is. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release!
[Xposed Framework Modules] divineBliss:
Log and SystemUI.apk.

tony78960,

No worries. You got the priorities correct with school ahead of Screen Filter :) .

I have attached the Xposed log file and the LGSystemUI.apk file from my phone which is a LG L39C Optimus Dynamic II running Jelly Bean Android 4.1.2. And again the problem I'm having is that the toolbox does not show up in the extended status bar.

Why do you limit the max filter brightness to 200/255 - so even with the filter set at 200 there is still some filtering going on?

Have you ever tried the Darker screen filter app: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mlhg.screenfilter ?

That's what I currently use and looking to replace it with your smaller footprint and less resource consuming Screen Filter app.

I forgot to mention I'm successfully running Screen Filter on:

Nexus 7 2013 (stock rooted ROM with KitKat 4.4.4)

and

LG L41C Optimus Fuel mobile (stock rooted ROM with KitKat 4.4).

Thanks again and keep up the great work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Vivasanti:
Works great on LG G3 - thank you!
[Xposed Framework Modules] XYZ-Moscow:
Hello and thanks. please add support for the light sensor and backlight control. In the darkness, I set the minimum brightness and turn on the screen filter. if it is then I take the device in the sunlight I can not see anything. I have to return everything back blindly. please add a brightness threshold. in excess disable screen filter and turn on auto brightness.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sikhwithit:
just wondering, how is this different than twilight or screen filter????
[Xposed Framework Modules] godly967:
This gives me a systemui crash repeatedly. Which I don't understand because I used this middle before. I'm on a stock note 2 4.4.2

Edit

Reverted back to 1.1 which works
[Xposed Framework Modules] 555henny555:
Awesome module!!! Was shearching for this so long..

Thanks :p
[Xposed Framework Modules] tony78960:
Thank you! I am working on a new approach to inject the toolbox into SystemUI, hopefully it will solves your issue as well as issues of other users.

The max transparency of the filter is limited because I tought it was pointless to use the filter at 80% or more (the effect is close to unnoticeable), in the next release you will be able to change it if you want to.

I did not know this app... Gonna take a look at it! (I may borrow some ideas :cowboy:)

I think backlight control is out of the scope of Screen Filter, but using the light sensor may be a good thing to avoid such cases (added to the to-do list), thanks for your idea!

I don't get the point of your question... Are you implying that there are already too many screen filter apps on the market?

Here is a bullet list to answer your question:

The main goal of these three apps is to darken your screen.

Twilight allows you to add a reddish color to the screen to help you to go to sleep.

Screen Filter allows you to create widget shortcuts on the main screen.

Screen Filter (mine) is still under development and may have some bugs, but they will be fixed soon and new features are planned (like colored filter, control widgets and more!).

As it is a Xposed module it has some advantages over standard screen filters, see this quote from the OP:
[Xposed Framework Modules] pakitos:
I havent used this Module cause Im waiting for the "Ability to enable auto activation at night + Tasker integration" so I can uninstall the other app Im using, Im not trying to demand or be a douche, just asking, any estimated time of when is this going to be implemented?

Also, I think the to-do-list just went extremly bloated and there are things that arent really needed. :rolleyes:
[Xposed Framework Modules] Adam3Sixty:
I agree, I love this module the way it is, only thing I think could be different is the button, as I mentioned in my last post, and that isn't even a big deal!!

Thank u for pitying ur free time and effort into this!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] rignfool:
Let us know when you get it working...

Or else... Wait like everyone else...
[Xposed Framework Modules] divineBliss:
tony78960,

I like to be able to slide the filter to 100% vs turn it off, cause I usually need to slide it back down below a 100% a bit later :) . Saves a few taps, no big deal. I look forward to being able to set the min below 50 and max above 200 in your future version.

Regarding the Darker screen filter app: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mlhg.screenfilter , when you're looking at it for ideas to borrow: I like the ability to configurable buttons and I use up and down buttons. I have them set to go up/down by 5% which give me finer filter control than a slider....... actually, upon further thought I think the slider control gives me finer control and it's fine as you have it :) . I also have one button configured to go to 0% filtering in case I get from a dark to really bright area - but I can just hit the off button in Screen Filter to have the same effect, so that's fine too..

I also like being able to tap the icon to pause the app (turn filtering off) .... that's similar to your OFF button I suppose. I'll be curious to know what you thought if you get a chance to try Screen Filter to see how the controls were implemented.

Do you have plans to add an option for Screen Filter to autostart on bootup? I'd like to see that.

Thanks again and patiently looking forward to the next newer and better release :) .
