Own thread for development

Hello all,

I kindly have a question about whether to start a new thread or not for development purpose?

So I tried to modified the recovery, but as you can see in the attached log file, that I cannot Mount System

to install Xposed framework.

Have somebody an good idea to make the mounting work in the stock recovery?

You can have a look here,

unoffical faq, where it is said, that there may be problems with mounting. Maybe we could alter the update script or

use another update.zip beforehand to mount system... else a custom recovery is a must have.

Attached you will also find my modified recovery I used. Please be careful if you play with your device.

You can use flashify to Flash it or dd command.

dd if=/sdcard/modrecovery.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery

Hey Dude - Post #782 mentions going into another mode where you can see the phone as a COM Port. Maybe you could try that. I don't know how to link you to it though

Cheers,

Tom
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lightwars:
Yeah, that post was from me... But I'm not sure if I managed to express myself clear enough. So I booted in my modified recovery to try to install a zip file, which is not from zte. So in my opinion booting into another mode won't help here.

Or could someone explain how it will do?

Root with kingroot then super-sume

Hi everybody,

Just to tell you I have succeed in rooting the phone using first Kingroot (the APK), then when the phone is rooted, install super-sume (from the Play store) and kingroot is deleted, supersu installed and binaries are updated.

I tested this process myself with success. :D

Have a good day.

Cheers

The easiest way to replace Kingroot. thanks scorpionvert

Hello,

has anyone an idea how to change the partitioning style of the AS and EU versions? The 4/4/7 style of these devices is really annoying, the only way to get around this is using Link2sd or something. The AU version apparently has only one partition, why couldn't they do it on the other versions as well?

Random reboots and phone temperature

Hi,

I'm still getting random reboots of my Blade S6 (AS version) even after installing B12 (from scratch, without doing a backup and no more applications installed). I note that the random reboots appears usually when the phone is charging or when it's in my pant pocket. So, I suspect that the phone reboots when its temperature is too high. But keeping the phone in my pocket should not increase the temperature very high. Not sure because, when I'm using GPS in my car with Google Map, the phone is warmer without any reboot. The reboots happen always in standby mode, never happen when the screen is on. Did you experience this kind of reboots in the similar circumstances?

Do you think changing the CPU frequency can reduce or fix the random reboots? (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60813803&postcount=535)

Thanks for your help.

Unzip the turkcell rom, get the settings.apk from it. Copy it to the sdcard. Install the settings.apk. Make it a system app by changing the access rights and moving it to the right directory. Reboot and try to access settings.

Hi,

Thanks for your config example. I tried this config with 3C CPU Manager. I changed the CPU min and max frequencies and applied your governor config file. When I restart the phone, the CPU frequencies updated are well applied but the governor config is reset as default value. How can I force the phone to apply the new governor config after a restart?

Thanks for your help.

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uriens:
Hi Yan, there is a circle icon on top of the window for applying the configuration after reboot. Try to load the governor file and tap the icon in all different tabs. I had the same problem but after few tries it worked. Recently I also disabled the last two cores, same performance and a little bit more battery saving (two days with wi-fi always ON and 3-3,5 hours of screen ON in these two days)
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yan25:
Hi Uriens,

Yes, I clicked on this circle icon but this icon is not available on the governor tab. It doesn't save the governor config for a phone restart. Thanks for your CPU tips ;)

In a previous post, you explain that there is a wake lock called "cwmcu" draining the battery. I know that there is also an issue with the Google Play Services draining the battery. Did you find a solution on the Blade S6 to solve these issues?

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uriens:
Well, it is true that the governor tab does not have that icon but clicking on the CPU tab it worked in my case (after few tries) and my governor configuration is loaded after each reboot..:confused:

Try to load the file, tap the icon and reboot..

I'm on B12 (rooted) and cwmcu wakelock is still there, unfortunately. I don't use gestures, flip case mode and daydream.

Play services are not a problem in my case (1% of drain), I simply disabled few services as the XDA "Extreme battery life" guide explaines: Analytics Service and AdRequestBrokerService.

Unfortunately the modding interest on this phone is not existent, we would really need a custom kernel!
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yan25:
OK, I will see for the governor configuration saving.

I try your CPU and governor configuration. It's OK, I just note that the phone is a little bit less responsive. I hope that this new config will solve my random reboot issue. Wait and see...

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nETPOBu4:
Is there older (pre B11/B12) firmwares without cwmcu-wake-lock? I've noticed that when phone lays on the table at night cwmcu is at ~5%, but when phone in pocket and one's walking or driving cmwcu eats up about 50% cpu time.

Also I'm noticed that phone cpu doesn't use freqs below 960. What's point of having big.little cpu it it doesn't switch to low freqs to conserve power?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uriens:
No, unfortunately any firmware version has cwmcu issue. The kernel wakelock NETLINK wakes up the phone a lot too.

The CPU frequencies are locked by ZTE, very annoying for the battery like but you can change that setting rooting the phone and following the instructions here:

Hi,

high battery drain seems to be linked to a lollipop bug: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=165558

not corrected yet apparently.

in my case I do observe insane "mobile radio active" times [visible in battery stats / select any app] on many apps (gmail, etc) which means that the radio chip remains active abusively even when phone is in stand by.

did anybody find a workaround?

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yan25:
Yes, little better battery life, but the phone is a little bit less reactive, but not really significant and can be probably solved by a fine tuning of the CPU config.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uriens:
It seems that disabling the screen auto-rotation the cwmcu wake lock is substantially reduced.

Probably the movement sensor remains active even if the screen is off, this should explain why during night this waklock is not so much while during the day is high.

Can someone else try?

Your phone was hardbricked. Sorry but does not exist at the moment ways to recover the phone from this state. can try to appeal to the manufacturer under warranty, but the repair may be paid and expensive (replacing the motherboard).

Or we can just wait, maybe in the future it will be possible to repair the phone. But not much chance and wait probably a long time, my phone in this condition for two months, everything is possible at the moment methods have been tried.

Update to B12

Since I had some challenges updating my B11 version to B12 I would like to share my solution here.

Note: always first backup you settings and data via the backup utility. I also backup the data from my SD card/internal phone memory to my NAS.

To update I tried:

Downloading the package from ZTE and updating from SD card (not allowed to insert URL in this post)

Via system update (pushed via OTA/Over the Air)

The first one continuously failed with a message the package did not match. After a few weeks I got notifed via system update. After a (very slow) download the system reboots but then shows:

E:Error in /cache/recovery/log

(No space left on device)

E:Error in /cache/recovery/last_log

(No space left on device)

I did two things and I am not sure which one fixed the issue:

Renamed existing update.zip on SD card to update.zip.old (you could remove it as well) just to make sure there would be no conflict

Wiped system cache, as follows:

Shut off phone

Start by holding Volume Down+Power and let go after phone vibrates

With volume down go to 'wipe system cache' and press power to confirm

Choose the reboot option to reboot

Now from the System Update app perform update. Phone then reboots and updates.

This worked for me. Hopefully it works for others as well, saving you some time to figure it out ;)

Three Tethering Finally Fixed???

I have (pretty certainly) read every post in this thread, and people keep saying that this issue has been fixed, but I could not get it to work for me.

By opening a command window and entering

worked as far as getting tethering over a cable, but I still could not get WiFi hotspot tethering to work.

After lots of Googling and reading of the same problem with other phones and carriers, I finally found what I was looking for with a post on a forum about the same problem with the Nexus 5 on Sprint in the US.

Issuing a second command seems to fix the problem for me, so maybe this pair of commands will fix a lot of tethering problems for a lot of different devices on different networks.

These commands have to be sent to the phone

AFTER

tethering or WiFi hotspot has been activated, otherwise they reset back to the phones default.

To make it a little easier I have written a little script.

Create a text file called TetherFix.bat using notepad (check the file extension) and enter the following...

Make sure it is a .bat file on your desktop and then just open it whenever you want to fix the problem.

I really hope this helps somebody else.

Hi,

Have you also a bug when you remove your headset, the phone volume is automatically set to zero?

I listen to MP3 with an MP3 player (default app or Poweramp for example). When I exit the application, the volume of the phone is automatically decreased to 0 as if I push on the volume down button. It's not possible to increase the volume, the only solution is to remove the headset and increase manually the volume.

It's not really a big issue just annoying behaviour.

I'm on AS B12 version.

Disable Fast Dormancy

Hi guys,

I have found a way to disable "Fast Dormancy" consuming a lot of battery under 3G if your carrier doesn't support Fast Dormancy. Here a link about Fast Dormancy: http://www.xda-developers.com/fast-dormancy-save-your-battery-from-3g-drainage-xda-developer-tv/

-Download Build Prop Editor from the Store;

-Make a backup of the build prop file inside the app;

-Search for the line "persist.env.fastdorm.enabled"

-Change the value from True to False

-Reboot the phone.
