[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] critizen:
I have gotten this to work (sort of) with a two-kernel solution.

This post contains a stock kernel that has been modified to include TWRP 2.8.1.0 as its recovery (17.1.2.A.0.314-based, by Desperanto86). In combination with the TWRP image, encrypted partitions can be backed up:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-sirius.img

If you enable encryption on top of this, the system no longer boots (I used custom ROM cm-11-20141206-NIGHTLY-sirius.zip). Flashing the CM boot.img allows the device to boot, but TWRP is no longer accessible.

It's probably possible to integrate TWRP into CyanogenMod's boot.img, but for now, I'm okay with just re-flashing the kernel at times when I need to back up my device (hopefully I don't burn through the flash memory with all the writes). So the process looks like this:

flash FTF firmware with Flashtool

enable developer options, then enable ADB in settings

install XZDualRecovery for root + recovery

copy custom ROM to /sdcard

boot into recovery, factory reset and install custom ROM

boot custom ROM, enable passcode, enable encryption

And when making backups:

power off phone

flash modded kernel + TWRP

take backup

flash original kernel boot.img from ROM (to restore boot ability)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] critizen:
Update for CM12/Lollipop: AOSP seems to enable hardware encryption for Qualcomm-based platforms, but this is not supported with TWRP (GitHub issue). Since hardware support is needed to decrypt storage, TWRP needs to load proprietary Qualcomm binaries to talk to the hardware (which are undocumented).

It seems like there will be no support for encrypted Lollipop backups, so I'll be sticking with 4.4.4.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] thdervenis:
As you may know, Samsung dropped support for AC3 sound some time ago, so the stock video player would only play video with no sound on several mkv videos that I have on my device. To counter that I used MX Player until a few days ago it also dropped support for AC3 rendering my mkv videos unplayable.

I found the following posts on the Tab S / Tab 4 forums. I tested what they suggested and the problem was solved both for stock video player and MX Player.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] GTT1:
One is for rooted and the other I wouldn't have a clue where to put the unzipped files.

Easiest thing for some of us is just uninstall current MX player and load a previous MX player and don't update.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] thdervenis:
Both say the same thing, place the ".xml" file in /system/etc and the ".so" files in /system/lib. Both are for rooted devices. The libraries are the same in both posts, the xml file differs slightly.

Done that and undone it after I applied the fix. Now I have the latest MX Player and auto update On for it.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] mingkee:
AC3 support used to work until NK1 update.

Just dowmload the AC3 update on op and MX Player will take care the rest.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] locutusx:
err, but you can simply get the "custom codec" for MX Player (widely promoted on this very forum, if I'm not mistaken) and bingo, AC3 and DTS support is restored to MX Player.

SMT210 from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2, & verse will work?

i had change my 210 rom to moded one to have have Kidsmode.

but is is slow, kill battery.

as all know the 4.4.2 is super better than 4.1.2

also, as i know if i go from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2, i cannot downgrade at all

so Q

1- if am on mode rom 4.1.2, can i go to mod rom 4.4.2 and if did not like go back to my old mod rom? or it is dead to me on 4.4.2.?

2-most 4.4.2 on Samsung have the new add on kid mode, will the SMT210 have it on 4.4.2?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsilx:
imteresting

So I would think u can downgrade but if you do I think u have to flash stock ROM through Odin but I could be wrong because of bootloaders and other stuff

Second question I can't answer I think u would have to get the stock 442 ROM that has it I don't know not got alot of knowledge with downgrading

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee.jarratt:
Just got my Nexus 6 and it's really nice, but the icons on the Google Now Launcher aren't that sharp, especially when compared to the Nexus 5. These are all Google apps and they're slightly fuzzy, especially noticeable on the edges, easier to see when looking a little closer to the display. Is anyone else seeing this? Could it be an issue with the display? Text and images look okay inside an app, it's mainly an issue with icons on the homescreen.

Also, the display seems really over saturated, I know it's AMOLED but I didn't expect the colours to be so saturated.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dxtra:
Coming from the G3 they don't look as sharp. Could be the Now launcher
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
its not the nexus 6 displays fault. its the fault of the developers who made those icons, for not using higher resolution images. the n6 screen is of a higher resolution, with lower resolution icons on the screen, that are larger in size than on the n5. what do you expect? of course they will look worse. the icons won't magically apear in higher resolution.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee.jarratt:
I'm talking about any apps, including the Google apps. Guess that's Google's fault for not using higher resolution icons for the N6 then?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee.jarratt:
Thanks for the reply, glad to know I'm not going insane. Just tried out Nova launcher and the icons look a lot sharper than they do with the Google Now Launcher. So it's software and not hardware, hoping a future update will correct the issue.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yup, even google apps unfortunately.

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

use any launcher, itll be the same. its not a n6 issue, its an issue with the resolution and size of the icons. you want them to look better? get root access and change the dpi of the screen. itll make the icons smaller, and they will look better.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
Or use Nova Launcher (and probably Apex has it too) and change the icon size to be a bit smaller. That will stretch them less so they look sharper. You can go as much as +/- 20% in Nova.
[General Questions and Answers] SPHM900:
Hello! I have the Boost Mobile LG Volt and I am somewhat of a noob but smart enough to get it rooted on V4 using a rollback guide and towelroot. My problem is i hate the stock kernel and hate not having voltage control. Is there a flashable package that i can use to add voltage control and all of the other fun things that come with a custom kernel? Ive seen guides on porting roms to my device and they seem fairly simple since its just editing a zip with all custom stuff and leaving the sys files alone. Again the kernel!!! Ive tried flashing so many diffrent kernels but they all softbrick my phone :(

I love this phone. With root i have CPU settings so it lasts 3 days heavy use. I want more !!! Please help!!!

The stock kernel for this phone is available on githubhttps://github.com/chevanlol360/Kernel_LGE_X5
[General Questions and Answers] SPHM900:
And from what im reading kernels must be device tailored?
[General Questions and Answers] NerdmastaX:
yes sir they do. development is still in its infancy, there are people working on cyanogenmod right now, but they "JUST" got audio support, so you may want to wait a minute. There are a few custom roms available, just takes a lil google-fu.

Also you are very lucky to still have a working phone, careful with those kernels.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] gchild320:
Hello! I'll be posting pure AOSP builds whenever there are new versions of android released (providing I have the time).

If you choose to use these builds, please ensure you have unlocked your bootloader and have custom recovery installed. I have also noticed that TWRP seems a little wonky at this point, so in order for me to flash it correctly, I had to wipe, then restart recovery, then flash. Hope that's not the case for everyone else.

3/18/15

Added ability to change DPI.

3/15/15

No longer messes with recovery at all. Bluetooth working, data does not force encrypt.

3/13/15

Android 5.1.0_r1 (LMY47D)

This release will wipe your recovery. If anyone needs this changed let me know and I will build another.

1/3/2015

Android 5.0.2_r1 (LRX22G)

Data is now encryptable, meaning your unencrypted data should stick going forward.

Included my own build of stock kernel with Linaro 4.9.3 toolchain.

Fixed bluetooth (thanks Lollipopalooza/Craig)

No longer need to re-flash recovery.

12/6/2014

Android 5.0.1_r1 (LRX22C)

You will need to install separate gapps

You will need to re-flash your custom recovery after you install (you all let me know if I should change this or not, I think I will on future builds)

I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device or to you, yourself while flashing this.

Latest DL Links will be in post #2.

[Nexus 9 Android Development] Hiro Nakamura:
Well i don't think it's 64bit version or is it ?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] belair56:
From what I understand the apps themselves need to be optimized for 64 internally. These are all Google apps so they are if Google did so. As you update from the play store you don't choose if you're running 64bit or not.

As always I can be wrong.

I use USBhost's version of TWRP. I tried to flash the rom following directions in OP. It wouldn't flash. First it said for flounder and this device is flounder. Also said something about updater binary. I got this with the other rom also. I tried un-mounting and mounting system, but I still got the error messages. Any ideas?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] gchild320:
I manually changed it to work with official twrp... Not sure why twrp is calling it volantis instead of flounder but that's why. Also, to get anything to flash in twrp at the moment, I have to reboot recovery after wiping. Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,

I have lost my 4G mod after i update to B136 from B126 .

I upgrade it like this:

1. I downgrade from B126 to B121

2. I upgrade it to B133

3. Finally I upgrade it to B136

So i thought this problem from the rom so i downgrade to B135 (MyRom) but the problem still as before.

Any suggsstion to solve this problem :confused:

I really want my 4G mod back.

Probably you didn't My-RoM installation clearly. If do instruction exactly than you 4G will be installed properly.

Hi,

I know this is early, but like most of you I'm burning to get the new ROM update tomorrow (kyphur you da man). So, of course I want to get all my ducks in a row so that tomorrow's update can be as painless and quick as possible.

The question I am asking with this thread pertains to backup. Changing from WM5 to WM6 was pain because I lost all my voice tags and sms's, mms's etc. It was a pain willingly carried because of the awesomeness of the new ROM, but one that I'd like to avoid this time round all the same.

Now, theoretically a WM6 backup should install without problems to a new WM6 install. However, there are indications that a different base ROM is to be used for WMXL 0.20. Will a simple backup work this time round?

Comments, thoughts, recommendations, more questions?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
the short answer is no.

reason, you will overwrite all system files in the windows directory (which includes all the registry keys/values). Therefore you will run into problem.

Best thing to do is to reinstall all your apps, operator settings etc and sync your device to get your contacts, emails, tasks notes etc back on your wmxl0.2 install.

Cheers,
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] piopawlu:
I think this is not entirely true. You could easily restore your contacts/mail/etc. Most system files will not be overwritten as they are in ROM. Just make sure you ain't restoring files mentioned before by jasjamming.

The tricky part is registry. What I'm going to do is making a diff file between the original registry and the one I have now. Then I'll simply apply changes. I know it may not work, but it's worth trying.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] .VIBE:

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're talking about. AFIK Cyberon Voice Dialer is what uses those "Voice Tags". Without Cyberon there is no "Voice Tag" mechanism in WM.

This is why I personally prefer MS Voice Command or even Cyberon Voice Commander (both retail products), they are true voice recognition programs not voice tag comparison programs.

Another question re the upgrade to wm6 ... I am currently on Cingular's 2.06 ROM, and will go to XDA 0.2 as soon as I can. My 8525 is not super cid.

I know I don't have to be super cid for the upgrade to work ... but is there a compelling reason why I might want to super cid my device?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
To clear things up, there are three major "Voice" programs:

Microsoft Voice Command

Cyberon Voice Commander

Cyberon Voice Dialer

Cyberon Voice Dialer is the one that uses voice tags. BTW, it is the one usually embedded in Carrier Roms thus it is the only free (legally) one.

Cyberon Voice Commander has some functions that MS Voice Command doesn't (it can read full e-mails for example) but the "Say Command" prompt gets annoying after a while and it isn't as good at recgonition as the MS Product.

With v1.6 Microsoft has finally brought a complete product to the table. Unfortunately there are BT issues with our Hermes.
