Disclaimer:​

You need to be rooted. I've tried this on a deodexed rom (should work on odex, give it a try, you won't get bootloops, instead a blank screen which can be fixed easily) :P

THIS IS A MOD TO ENABLE BOOTANIMATION.ZIP FOR STOCK-BASED ROMS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A sample BootAnimation has been added.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PREREQUISITES:

1. A Samsung Galaxy CORE [I8262/I8260] (LOL :p)

2. Custom Recovery (TWRP Recommended)

3. Basic Knowledge in flashing updater scripts

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Boot to recovery

4. Hit the thanks button.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG:

Don't Panic. Post your problem here and I will solve it for you personally. The only problem you could possibly encounter is blank screen instead of boot animation, that is because of broken permission. (Don't worry,

your phone will boot

though :P )

To fix it, once the phone boots, navigate to "system/media/" and change the permission of bootanimation.zip to rw-r-r--

sgs4 experience

i'm still waiting for the s6 but i have a s4 and a chromecast dongle

when samsung didnt changed anything i'm afraid the default "screen mirroring" function will not find your chromecast

it is only supported by samsung tv/dvd/etc..

you can add a AllShare Cast hub because as far i know this is the only supported receiver

BUT you can allways use the chromecast app to mirror your screen wich works quite well with most things

1080p is ok but i suppose 4K will not work well...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soup sweats:
I'm afraid that clonednull is right. I have an S6 and a chromecast and it doesn't find it when using the built in screen mirroring. You have to use the Chromecast app to initiate it.

I had no idea this would be a thing. It used to worked with Nexus 5.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soup sweats:
Could this be a Google issue and not Samsung?

The s6 is not on the list of supported devices at the moment. One can hope.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsechain:
It is working quite well. I bought one for my partner which works with my S6

You have to use the Chromecast app, but Screenmirroring is supported, as are some of the basic apps like Youtube.

But of course the quality is not as good as it would have been using an MHL-Adapter( if that was possible).
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistyisland:
It's working for me on the s6. I didn't watch a whole movie, but I got it to connect with Amazon instant video with screen mirroring. When you first turn on Chromecast in the upper left there is a menu that says "devices." In that menu you will find screen mirroring. It says it's a beta version.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] marcux:
I was really upset too that samsung did not include the MHL port they included on all previous phones.

I've been trying to figure out a solution to projecting on screen.

Forget about chromecast, just use a miracast device, like microsoft wireless display adaptor.

It does works with a fire tv stick, but don't bother, they have horrible latency/lag with miracast, microsofts adaptor has the best latency.

you can check here for a latency chart before you buys a miracast dongle..

Hello Guys! So here's the story I have the moto E(XT1022).Yesterday I installed chainfire 3D, then it tried to reboot but got stuck on the blue moto logo.My phone is rooted and and has lollipop 5.0.2 from the soak test.I have TWRP recovery[v2.7.2.0].So after this happening,I restored a previous backup but then it got stuck on starting apps...Then I did a factory reset,That didn't work as well,it too got stuck on starting apps.Then I tried doing this:

"Look for libGLESv1_CM.so and rename it to libGLESv1_CMcf.so"

But it didn't work and it gets stuck before the moto logo appears when the various globe pictures rotate and do stuff.

That is everything i have done and now I don't know what to do.

Please Help! Thanks.

I am rooted and looking to go back to stock by flashing the stock firmware using Odin on my G920F. However since KNOX is already tampered with and there's no way of resetting it, will I be able to receive OTA updates once I revert back to full stock? If not, is there a way for it to work?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxal:
Hi, going back to full stock is the best way to get OTA updates so yes you should get any OTA update that is available to you,
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austin3161337:
Thank you for the reply, but one more thing, does flashing a specific firmware region may equal different updates? So if i flash the UK firmware, will I get the software updates for the UK phone? I know that sounds pretty dumb but I'm knew to Samsung coming from HTC.

Hi, I have never flashed a different region firmware before so I can't really comment on this sorry.

Tripping KNOX doesn't prevent OTA updates, as long as you flash back stock.

If your current ROM is rooted, this may prevent updates.

this is the "official" link where you can post your raw request - http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Software-Updates/Camera2-API/td-p/974742

suggestion - read 5th post - they want people to ask for raw support and maybe will implement it
[Xperia Z3 General] admad:
I couldn't care less about RAW mode. What is really usefull is manual shutter speed! Good news is, that incorporating RAW mode will probably also mean manual control of shutter speed. So I'm supporting this case :)
[Xperia Z3 General] undercover:
Said it on Reddit and will say here. Sod RAW, give us Camera 2 API so third party apps with decent processing algorithm can access the camera directly.
[Xperia Z3 General] ssj_jaypee:
Z4 should've been the first Android phone with manual shutter control and RAW output.

Why is LG beating Sony in the camera department? That's embarrassing.
[Xperia Z3 General] Jonfensu:
Manufacturers as HTC and Xiaomi bring some time ago Full Manual controls... So there wasn't reason to don't bring Manual Controls in previous Android versions
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
I don't really need it, but if most people want it I think they should definitely add it.
[Xperia Z3 General] dobygot:
Until people have the need to replace prosumer or pro cameras, adding raw into an everyday consumer device (albeit a high-end flagship phone) will just add additional headaches all-around(support calls/emails etc), and not benefit bottom-line (sales). These all-encompassing gaming/social/internet/communication/camera devices are difficult to target a specific audience because they cover such a wide range of users and their different needs and wants.

Everyone's attitude here is they're not happy with the SOC jpegs and expecting RAW will allow them to "do it better" themselves. That's an issue with the processing(that's speculation until raw files can be peeped). This is what Sony needs to fix, not just throwing RAW at us. Most people don't want to process raw files from WB to post-resize sharpening of what they ate just so they can share it on IG. RAW is not something anybody will want to upload without PP. It isn't going to magically make a ****ty camera better. If anything it'll only reveal how good or bad a camera truly is.

So why would Sony obviously, have-to, necessarily, provide this feature in any of their phones? Just because walkmans have a long history, doesn't mean they are going to give you wolfson dacs into the xperia and market it to people who don't care.

That being said. I'd be happy to have the option to take pictures in raw format, but foresee myself barely using it. If I cared enough to take higher quality pictures, I would put in the effort to bring out my actual full frame camera and lens and shoot raw all day long with high quality 60fps capture as well. I'm also going to play with the g4 in the store and check out raw uploads on the net to see what it can do, but not because I am looking to replace an actual camera with it. If you offer up pro features and market it as such - then you better beat other pro options in implementation and results, otherwise I'm not going to take it seriously and mark it as just another half-assed novelty feature and continue to use an actual camera that implements it well.

yeah yeah tl;dr
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Some people have a z3 and a proper camera but want the option to use raw on the their phone for when they don't have their proper camera with them. Or they might not have a proper camera but want to get into photography; using their phone is a cheaper alternative, and raw (in addition to the other things api2 provides) helps here. It's not something I imagine too many people will use but having the option is better than not having the option; no-one's suggesting that jpg will go away and everyone will have to convert their raw files after every shoot.
[Xperia Z3 General] cadboncopyvw:
It would be nice if they allowed saving both JPG and RAW like most DSLRs (even if it is slower) as then we would have a JPG to post on social media straight away and a RAW to enhance later if we wanted to :good:
[Xperia Z3 General] omegastarr:
^ this !
[Xperia Z3 General] dobygot:
I agree that having the option is better than not having it. My post wasn't meant to argue the uses of RAW, but how users' needs affect mfger's decisions on spending money, because ultimately all they care about is how it'll affect the bottom line today or in the future. Sony attempting to capture this uber niche group for the z3 won't help them. Future models? Maybe, but it seems unlikely if they need to consider it eating into cybershot sales (Some yet to be released cybershots don't even shoot in RAW). Also, how far would they have to take the updates once they enable RAW to "us" ? Aperture priority, shutter priority, exposure locking, bracketing, etc.

The whole Manual control and raw output angle may or may not work for LG. But it makes sense for them to try it... because they really don't have anything else going for them against Samsung.
[Xperia Z3 General] Sean Xenos:
Z3 camera has issues

The Z3 camera has well known issues (like many cell phone cameras have).... purple blobs under demanding light conditions and some more

If you know how to handle RAW files then there's a better chance to correct that

but I will also need a specific RAW codec for the Z3 otherwise the most RAW converters won't work or will produce false colours.
[Xperia Z3 General] Jonfensu:
What the user really want is a Camera with proper Manual controls and not that messed-up thing from Sony in the current camera ui
[Xperia Z3 General] ozzy lion:
Z3 camera blows chunks. Really, there isn't much more to say about it. Soft, mushy, noisy. Exposure often off. Just not a camera experience fitting a top end phone from the worlds leading digital photography OEM.

Ideally Sony would improve the SOC JPGs. If they where industry leading standard then there wouldn't be so much demand for RAW.

In the likely scenario were Sony engineers are unable (or unwilling/not backed by the bean counters) to deliver improved JPEG output, RAW is a decent workaround.

But as mentioned, unless the likes of Adobe can support the RAW files then they won't be very useful. Anyone who knows what to do with a RAW will want to fit it onto their already established work flow. If Sony can just output DNG's (DNG+JPEG) that would be ok.

Sony are bleeding market share with xperias. They need to really deliver some great updates to their existing phones and release some exceptional new hardware to regain some favour from consumers. Support is the key, if they can deliver top notch updates that markedly improve end user experience then people will buy their hardware, knowing they will be supported by the manufacturer for the life of the product. It's not just about updating the ROM to the latest android release, its about enhancing the experience, listening to consumers concerns and demands and responding quickly and effectively.
[Xperia Z3 General] radicans:
The API requires that DNG is output. So as long as Sony adheres to the Camera2 API that is what we will get!

In my opinion, Sony does not have to do anything to their camera software. Just implement the Camera2 API and there are already other camera apps out there which utilize the new features.
[Xperia Z3 General] LitoNi:
wasnt there articles published recently stating that Samsung devices were going to receive RAW mode too? and HTC joining in as well? forgot where the articles went, but if true, i see no reason why Sony should hold back when everyone else is doing it.

Sony needs to offer something that the competitors/market doesnt have, or at least be the first to do so... not following others >.>
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
You need it without knowing you need it; developers who work on camera-related apps such as Open Camera currently get jpegs from the camera, so if they want to perform further processing such as auto-rotating the photo, superimposing date/time etc it's another generational loss of quality. If they could instead get a raw file they could do all that losslessly and then offer the user of the usual (but better quality) jpeg or raw.
[Xperia Z3 General] Entropy512:
Did that include existing devices, or future devices?

I don't know if I've seen any device (other than possibly Nexus devices) that had RAW capability retrofitted after-the-fact - even devices that had Qualcomm's proprietary RAW support. (Which isn't compatible with the new camera API RAW stuff - just like Qualcomm's multiSIM stuff was completely incompatible with the MTK-based stuff Google put into 5.x)
[Xperia Z3 General] orrorin:
HTC just added RAW to the One M9.

Sidenote: I added my support in the forum, I hope you guys do too.
[Xperia Z3 General] Entropy512:
Um, the M9 is a native-lollipop device.

I don't know of any devices that originally shipped with 4.4 and had AOSP RAW support added except for Nexus devices - even devices that supported Qualcomm's own "special" RAW variant.
[Xperia Z3 General] AddictedToGlass:
What's involved in a mod to allow the z3/z3v to incorporate the Camera2 API so that it can produce DNGs?

That's not something someone here can do?

this needs fiddling with the driver, and such low level hacking is just too hard (think qualcomms mm-camera, closed, nda'd). Not to say impossible but.. I guess dev's would more likely put their effort to the AOSP stuff sony is giving out lately for the camera.
