Hello

I recently upgraded to CyanogenMod 12 --> [DEV][ROM][5.0.2][HTCLegacy] Unofficial CyanogenMod 12 | 02/03/2015 | BETA#3

I found it very slow so I tried to downgrade to CM 11 --> [ROM][KK 4.4.4][KTU84P] CyanogenMod 11 Weekly Builds [Build#7] - 3/30/2015

But even after flashing the rom, I'm getting the "No OS Installed!" message. My phone would just boot back into recovery (my recovery is TWRP 2.8.5.0)

I am still trying to figure out why it won't boot.

Is it related to the fact that I changed the /system and /data partitions to .f2fs (from their original .yaafs2 ? If so, how can I revert this change? And yes I tried changing them to ext2, 3 and 4 but the problem persists.

If not, what is the problem exactly and how can I fix it?

Any sort of help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

i have the problem that the clock display vanished on the upper right corner. I've hard-reseted the BA on wm5. It returned to show the time. But after using the SCUMMVM game, it dissapeared again:mad: . Do you know how to re-actived the clock display without hard-reseting the unit.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FirebirdDE:
Hi,

the standard for adblocking on rooted Android phones currently is to create a huge /etc/hosts file that redirects known advertiser domains to localhost. This certainly is faster than redirecting everything through a proxy as adblock plus does, but it is still slow because android reads the entire file and compares line by line all the domains for each DNS request and the file tends to have >30.000 entries. This takes about 20ms per request on a SGS5 for a domain that is not contained in the list with the most recent adaway hosts file. It would be much faster to use a sorted hosts file instead and then do a binary search in this file. I've tried that and got a ~100x performance boost - which is noticeable.

Here's my speed results and patches for libc:

Results/discussion: https://github.com/phillipberndt/android-bionic-hosts-proposal

Proposed patch for bionic/libc: https://github.com/phillipberndt/an...ter/patches/variable-record-size-lookup.patch

This certainly isn't something for AOSP, but I wondered if there's an interest among custom ROM devs to integrate this feature, be it with my patch or a different implementation.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madawcisrich:
Hello everyone,

I purchased a S6 edge one week ago. Everything was fine until today when I noticed something strange about the secondary microphone.

As you know, on the top side of the galaxy edge, there is a secondary microphone near the IR emitter. It seems that mine is not working properly. I don't know if it works as the same way as the main bottom side main microphone, but when I tried recording sound with the secondary microphone, I cannot hear a ****.(I blocked the main micro when registering). So basically, when the main microphone is out of service, the secondary doesn't work good...That is really annoying for a 860 euros phone.

Is it normal or not? I purchased this phone from a local carrier shop and they don't want to exchange this for a new unit and can only send it for reparation. I contact Samsung via phone and they told me the warraty cover only reparation, doesn't exchange. Do you think that I should go to visit a Samsung experience shop so that they can do something for me?

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanna:
It's not normal at all, secondary mic works perfectly on my S6 Edge, blocking the main mic on the bottom I can record the voice using the mic at the top of the phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oliv3:
Pretty sure that mic is used for reducing background noise. It's not used for normal recording or other conventional uses.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madawcisrich:
Really, I read this somewhere too, that was why I am not sure if it really doesn't work properly or it doesn't work as the main microphone. Can someone else give us an answer please?

Hi,

Some one now if there different in this two vehicle charger on charging time aspect ?

EP-LN915UBESTA

samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-LN915UBESTA

ECA-U21CBEBXAR

samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECA-U21CBEBXAR

The question is because two charger is a 2Amp

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] flu13:
For an S6, the one that has Adaptive Fast Charging will be faster. The 2A output is just a max output. The device actually determines how much power to pull from the charger.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Benjamin818:
Difference

What's the difference between the two cables?

The first is: EP-LN915UBESTA

And the other one is: EP-LN915UBEGWW

So the XXXXXXXXXXXSTA is for America and XXXXXXXXXXXGWW is for Europa or what?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] flu13:
No, the first one supports Adaptive Fast Charging, which uses variable voltage and amperage to charge your phone faster. Plug a different phone into it and it will act like a regular charger, but in concert with the S6, it can charger your phone from 0 to 100 in about an hour. The second one doesn't have Fast Charging, and will act just like a regular charger, even with the S6.

Also, note that the cables are just standard micro-usb cables. It's the adapter itself that is different.

Maybe the conversion is different.

[Moto G General] dipeters:
Hi!

Great tutorial! Will help many peoples!

But, I have two questions:

1 - Your tutorial works on XT1033 Brazilian firmare?

2 - Can you upload/give the link of 4.4.4 and 5.0.2 XT1033 Brazilian firmwares?

I've sucessfully installed GPE 5.1, but I want the "get back option" safe in my computer.

Cheers!

Note: English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.
[Moto G General] siddharthnair96:
Okay I'll answer to both you worries;

1. This tutorial could possibly work on the Brazilian firmware because it's almost one and the same the flashing of the system image.

2. I'll edit the OP; thanks for the tip

Cheers..
[Moto G General] vivekdeshmukh:
Dude, i dont know how much i can thank you! I had tried like a dozen ways to do this but all failed. Finally i decided to give your method a try this weekend, and it just worked awesomely! I am back on my original xt1033 :) ... now from there i installed cm12.1 which works flawlessly and even the sms is working (dual sim) which was for some weird reason wasnt working on my converted gpe on which I had installed cm12.1.

Again, thanks and keep sharing your great work :)
[Moto G General] dipeters:
"Tip for the Brazilian update since I couldn't get the full package you'll have to update to 4.4.4 by flashing using the command provided and then transfer the 5.0.2 zip file onto the device and then flash via stock recovery. I'll certainly try to get hold of the entire firmware of 5.0.2. I still suggest using the full firmware flash; start new."

I get confused here.

Should I use the Full firmware 5.0.2 Brazillian and the other firmwares? [GPE KK 4.4.4 + BR KK 4.4.4 + BR LOLLI 5.0.2]

Or I flash the both 4.4.4 and flash the zip update? [GPE KK 4.4.4 + BR KK 4.4.4 + 5.0.2 ZIP]

Sorry for inconvenience

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] mdsharpe:
Following instructions from another thread on this forum, I now sadly have an unusable Orbit - it hangs on the blue boot screen.

After reading everything I can find that is applicable to my problem in this forum, I assume the following things:

1) It's impossible to unlock the phone using imei-check from the bootloader screen. (I already paid for this too, damn it)

2) Because my phone's still locked, the only way to recover the phone is by flashing with an official rom

3) The official uk o2 rom is not available

4) I'm going to have to wait until WM6 comes out

I rang up O2 and they were very unhelpful with the matter.

Please, if anybody can help me, I would be most grateful!
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] mdsharpe:
I guess my assumptions are correct then!

Hope O2 UK bring out a WM6 update soon.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] jthspace:
Well, if you have paid for imei-check unlock code, get in touch with them and I am sure they would unlock the phone and possibly give you a credit for the (unused) code you have.

I was in the same position and imei-check saved my life (well not quite, but you now what I mean)

Unless you can wait for the ROM . . . . .imei-check is one possible solution.

Jeff
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] mdsharpe:
Well, I asked them, and they kinda flamed me back:

"As you read on the web site before you purchased the unlocker REQUIRES A WORKING ACTIVE SYNC CONNECTION"

In other words, no, you cannot unlock from the boot loader.

So I guess I shall have to wait for O2 to release a firmware upgrade.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shemploo:
Approach / Wave options work well on CM12 based ROM, meaning, when you wave your hand over the phone it wakes up and shows the google ambient display, but in stock if you disable motoDisplay to get AmbientDisplay, the approach/wave sensors sees to work.

Is there a mod to enable the CM12 Approach/Wave functions with AmbientDisplay turned on, and motoDisplay off?

Anyone know of a workaround for stock ROM?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpalmer:
No. Making the sensors work on CyanogenMod requires changes to the selinux policies and there is no way that you can install an app that will do that.

Just testing the Sony C3. 470 Lollipop firmware. Only bug is the front camera, too dark when you're taking pictures. Many users are facing this problem but aside from that everything is smooth.

Man , how did you get root? is it possible to root on lollipop or kitkat without unlocking the bootloader?
[Sony Xperia C] iceman2029:
Can not rooting a Sony that has the locked the Bootloader

My experience is that you can not root a Sony equipment that has locked the Bootloader. Perhaps what is shown here, is that installed a recovery and then the SuperSU, however, he can not enter the system partition. It should be then a semi-root.

When you can not unlock a bootloader, then there is the option for someone to build a separate kernel, it should flash after installing a new ROM, using the Flashtool. This usually takes time for someone to develop.

Spanish: Mi experiencia es que NO se puede rootear un equipo Sony que tiene el bootloader bloqueado. Tal vez lo que se muestra es que instaló un recoverý y luego el SuperSu, sin embargo, él no podrá escribir la partición de sistema. Debería ser entonces un semi-root.

Cuando no se puede desbloquear un bootloader, entonces existe la alternativa que alguien construya un Kernel separado, que se debe flashear posterior a instalar una Rom nueva, usando el Flashtool. Esto normalmente toma tiempo en que alguien lo desarrolle. Asi lo tuve que hacer con un Xperia ZR. Esperé 6 meses y alguien hizo un Kernel.
[Sony Xperia C] dcaceres89:
For me, is quite different because i was able to root all the sony devices I had even with the locked bootloader. Seems that some difficults exists to root some devices because of the kernel's date and no one has been able to build a tool to root those devices, just like Giefroot or Xperia Root and also Towelroot. We must wait for a developer´s patience and availabilty to create some tool. until then, we're out of the root process.

Spanish Para mi es un tanto diferente por que fui capaz de rootear todos los telefonos sony que he tenido, incluso con el BL bloqueado. al parecer, existen todavia dificultades para rootear debido a las fechas de los kernels y nadie ha sido capaz de crear una herramienta para rootear esos dispositivos como por ej: giefroot, xperia root o el towelroot. Debemos esperar la paciencia y disponibilidad de un desarrollador para crear una herramienta y hasta entonces estamos fuera del proceso del root.
[Sony Xperia C] iceman2029:
We reached the same: Wait

Hello, in the end we reached the same: Wait. Yes, I have also had many models Xperia, almost all with locked bootloader (allowed: NO) and all known tools, only Vroot or iRoot (of mgyun.com) has worked for me. Specifically, for the Xperia ZR months passed and nothing, so I found a method for rooting, flashing a modified kernel. Almost a year later, I could see that with iRoot could already rooting effortlessly, like the M2.

Just get to root my phone, I'll post here.

Spanish: Hola, al final llegamos a lo mismo: Esperar. Así es, yo tambien he tenido muchos modelos Xperia, casi todos con el bootloader bloqueado (permitido: NO) y de todas las herramientas conocidas, sólo el Vroot o iRoot (de mgyun.com) me ha funcionado. Especificamente, para el Xperia ZR pasaban los meses y nada, así que encontré un método para rooting, flasheando un kernel modificado. Casi un año despues, pude ver que con el iRoot ya se podía rootear sin mayor esfuerzo, al igual que el M2.

Apenas consiga rootear mi celular, lo postearé aquí.
