I've restored a friend's efs, but it's a bit tricky and I don't know if it will work for you.

Note that you need to be rooted.

I guess you can't mount the efs folder while in recovery?

It happens sometimes when one changes ROM, the efs partition gets corrupted and changes from ext4 to swap.

The following works for Mega I9200 running JB, on KK you may have to change all the fields with mmcblk0p10 with whatever mount point efs has on KK.

To find out about it go to dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name and check which number efs has, or type in adb:

su

ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

Now you are ready to repair efs, let's go!

I - Connect you phone through adb, then type:

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/efs.img

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p10

mkdir /efs

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 /efs

DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE

Now your efs is mounted and don't unmount it.

Check what's inside your efs and remember it for later in case you need to go to step II:

cd /efs

Reboot, your efs is fixed.

If everything works you are done, if it doesn't it means that some files inside the efs folder are missing or corrupted so now proceed to part II to rebuild it.

II - Type the following to recreate efs content (order may change depending the case, and for example if you /efs is empty you don't need the 2 first commands):

rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr (this will erase keystr)

rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode (this will erase factorymode)

mkdir /efs/FactoryApp (this will recreate the FactoryApp folder in case you don't have any it anymore, if you still have it ignore this command)

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr (this recreates keystr)

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode (this recreates factorymode)

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

reboot

Once everything works make an efs backup:

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/efs.img

To restore efs:

su

dd if=/sdcard/efs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10

Good luck!

Guys I am actually stock at the moment but doubletap to wake up screen is the feature

which I really want on my M7, I read some where long time ago that it was not possible on

M7 since it was a hardware feature but recently I came across a kernel for M7 with this feature. see below

http://xdaforums.com/sprint-htc-one/development/kernel-elite-kernels-t2961835

The above kernel needs a GPE L Rom.

I am thinking of rooting and installing a custom rom now, I wanted to ask what rom should I

download in order to get this feature since I am new so I have no idea what a GPE L rom is.

Thanks in advance and sorry if its a noob question!!

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:
Just making sure!!

Thanks a lot, So if I am not mistaken the second Rom you mentioned has this feature built in but

if I need this feature on Nocturnal Rom I will need to flash the elite kernel?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thicklizard:
Correct
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
As thick said, most custom kernels do come with double tap to wake, aka dt2w.

I'm assuming you know the procedure for rooting and flashing a ROM.

In order to get dt2w, first flash a ROM of choice. Boot up, and set it up according to your liking. Then, find a compatible kernel (we can help you with that), and flash that. Boot up again, make sure (in your phone's settings) that the kernel flashed successfully, then download a kernel tuning app like TricksterMOD and go into "Screen Wake Settings."

Note: some kernels may use AROMA, which lets you configure dt2w while flashing. The above should still apply if you want to change your settings later on.

Thick's ROM comes with it built in, but most other ROMs don't.

Happy flashing, and remember, ask twice, flash once.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:
I appreciate it!!

I rooted and played around with different Roms on my previous phones e.g. HTC Hero, NS4g, and Evo4G

but since my HTC one is still being updated via OTA officially I didn't proceed with rooting yet.

I really wanted DT2w feature and I don't think any update would give me that feature so that's why

I am thinking about rooting my phone. I really appreciate your help since you said you can help with

choosing a kernel please go ahead and suggest a good kernel and few feature rich/stable Roms.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
I would suggest SD 12 since it's on the latest base (.12, which has some important bug fixes) and it's relatively close to stock.

Along with that, I would suggest using ElementalX 18, which is one of the more easy Kernels to set up. It uses AROMA, so you don't have to download any apps to adjust your settings later. I had a good experience with the battery saving/thermal throttling/undervolting settings (you'll see those come up when you try to flash it). I don't recommend messing with the clock settings, however.

Wipe (default wipe in TWRP), flash ROM, boot, set up, go into recovery, flash kernel, reboot, wait, reboot again. That's the procedure I follow.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:
I appreciate it!!

Thank you, I really appreciate your help and recommendation.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:
I have finally rooted my phone and I am in process of trying different roms at the moment, I tried to flash the ElementX18 kernel on my stock rooted rom but the installation failed so Now I am going to install SD12 which you mentioned and then flash the ElementX18 kernel. Since you mentioned you had a good experience with thermal throttling/undervolting can you please give me safe or your values so I can give them a shot as well. Thank you
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
EX 18 is a 4.4.3 kernel, you probably used it on a 4.4.2 ROM. A 25 mV undervolt with "run cool" setting would be good.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:
Yes you are right I was trying it first on my stock rom which was 4.4.2 if I am not mistaken that was the last official OTA

update for me. I am on SD 12 ROM and EX18 Kernel at the moment and loving it. I tried SlimKat which was not bad but for some reason I couldn't fix the resolution of the screen everything was too small for me (icons,fonts etc). Latest Liquid Smooth didnt recognize my sim card so I had to move away from it. It seems like for now SD12 is going to be my daily driver.

In case if I want to give SlimKat another shot can I use EX18 on it or it's only a sense kernel? also SlimKat is 4.4.4 so what good kernel can you suggest which will give me DT2W option?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
EX18 is sense only.

And sorry, I don't really know about nonsense stuff.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harddisk_wp:
If you manage to kill your sdcard while you have my sdcard hack installed, then the phone will bootloop until you insert a new sd card partitioned just like the old one. Then it will act like you had factory-resetted it.

Alternatively you can always reflash original boot.img/recovery.img and use the phone with limited internal memory.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madthinker:
i see, thanks to explain me :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francwalter:
There is another way to get more space: Link2SD (2.- euros) with a second partition on your external SD-card exactly like shown above (ext4 partition, primary).

The advantage is, that if the sdcard is faulty the system still runs, just the apps which are symlinked to the ext4 partition won't run.

So I use this for all these not absolutely important apps which needs lots of internal memory, e.g. kindle bookreader, Amazon, WhatsApp etc. I dont use it for all apps, most importantly not for any app, where there is no alternative. Last week my two years old 64 GB MicroSD card (SanDisk, with warranty 10 years) in my SGS4 stopped working and this could happen all the time. They are not that reliable I think, that I would put my system on it.

I did this now with the Cat B15Q of my friend.

EDIT: and she has now more than 1 GB free internal space :)

I think this is the best solution, 2 GB for the pure ROM and the system apps is more than enough and all user apps go to the external sd-card (2nd partition).

I'm coming from note 4

BUT on note edge I can't change back the Camera density to the original, even if I change the application's density to 640 it's still using the 512 from toolbox

is there a way to change back the camera density other than changing the android system density (because it changes everything, defying the purpose)

Hello. I have basically just taken information i found on the web and modified the stock lrx22c kernel for flounder lte. I modified the fstabs in the ramdisk, and changed them to "encryptable" instead of "forceencrypt". Credit to bbedward for the idea. Follow his guide at http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/disable-forced-encryption-gain-root-t2946715 and use the kernel I have provided below. You must fastboot flash boot boot.img(boot.img being the boot.img you download from here). After that, you must do a TRUE factory reset, or just wipe userdata. Which means you will lose EVERYTHING on your /sdcard. I just went into TWRP and selected the advanced wipe, format userdata. And after I rebooted, encryption was off. Good Luck!

[Nexus 9 Android Development] parcsalooc:
Thanks..but I'm still having no luck on turning encryption off
[Nexus 9 Android Development] bynarie:
Tell me the exact steps taken. What I did was first, unlock bootloader obviously. Then, fastboot flash boot boot.img, then boot into TWRP, goto wipe, select format userdata, you should have to type in the box "yes" to confirm. This procedure will wipe the ENTIRE data partition, including the internal SD. So if you did a wipe and you still had all your files on /sdcard, you didnt do the right wipe. Just to be safe I also did a factory reset. I am using this kernel right now as we speak. When you go into settings -> security where the encryption is, it has the option to turn on encryption, which means its currently turned off. It absolutely does work, but the proper steps need to be taken. Let me know if I can be of any help.

Also, weird spikes of battery loss after a boot loop + hard reset.

I am not sure what is causing this issue. Sometimes, setting my phone down on a table will begin the boot loops, leading me to believe that the battery could be loose or faulty.
