[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Interesting, I haven't messed around with a huge number of custom ROMs, but I've never used one that played a sound when connecting USB.

I was thinking (hoping) there was a sound file more specific to the USB connection; as I assume that renaming the camera click also disables the actual camera shutter sound when taking photos in the stock camera app. Not ideal I suppose; but on the other hand the camera shutter noise isn't really all that necessary.

There must be something in the ROM that points to that sound file when connecting to USB. But I can't think of what, or how to change it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazzacbr:
what i have noticed in the past (previous HD2) is that my Alarm Clock Plus will sometimes lose the alarm settings. i think its when i change the alarm tone and happen to pick a sound file on the sd card.

(i usually would have the sound file on the external card first before copying it to the phone)

if i remove the card the alarm will not work even if i have the same named file on the phone, it will show a number instead of the alarm sound and not play.

maybe its similar and somehow the usb connection is linked to the file but not by name.

this is annoying me now, not knowing how to solve what should be a simple problem :(

EDIT: ok, so found this on modaco:

Adjustment : build.prop ........... find local\system

Add: new line under #Additional: persist.adb.notify=0

To edit build.prop, you need to be rooted .

which i havnt tried yet but i am sure it would work.

i dont want to actually disable the sound, just change it to something that isnt camera_click...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazzacbr:
Bumping my own thread, but it happened again. the sound went away before when the camera 'click' file was deleted.

Now the usb disconnect sound changed to 'Mum' which is nice enough but goes on really long.

Once again, its gone away by deleting that file. Which is not ideal.

Anyone have any better solution? I have heard different sounds on custom roms before on my old HD2 so the file name or link must be in a data file somewhere?

I still don't know what caused it to happen again anyway.

Method 2 terminal/adb copy

2. Get su binary on sdcard

3. use either adb or terminal emulator and grant su

4. Keep the adb or terminal emulator as su and uninstall kingroot, make sure you unchecked all three of the root options in kingroot, keep updated, backup, and the other one I already forgot lol.

5. In adb or terminal emulator use

cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/su

chmod 755 /system/xbin/su

cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/daemonsu

chmod 755 /system/xbin/daemonsu

cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/ku.sud

chmod 755 /system/xbin/ku.sud

cat /sdcard/su > /system/usr/iku/isu

chmod 755 /system/usr/iku/isu

Method 3 twrp copy

If you would like to keep twrp the whole time, and copy files over using twrp this is also possible.

1. boot into twrp recovery

2. mount system: check under mount system to mount

3. copy over files make a backup of su by placing in another folder or using adb and cp

cp sdcard/su /sdcard/ku.sud

copy su to /system/xbin/su

copy ku.sud to /system/xbin/ku.sud

copy su to /system/usr/iku/isu

copy deamonsu(which is also another su so you can make another copy of su as deamonsu)

copy deamonsu to /system/xbin/deamonsu

This should allow SuperSU to see su binary, the problem we are having is that install-recovery.sh instead of running daemonsu as a service with /system/xbin/daemonsu --auto-daemon &

is its just linking to another su in system/xbin and system/usr/iku,

so were just going to replace those extra su with SuperSU binary instead, when we permrooted with kingroot it added a /dev/null for its recovery-install.sh to survive ota update and Its beyond my knowledge to change that, but I can tell you how to change kingroot su to SuperSU, and thus we have SuperSU instead of kingroot.

After binary is pushed in all spots install SuperSU and enjoy!

After this please reinstall twrp recovery so you don't brick your device.

Okay before I try this I wanted to know, do I have to uninstall twrp and install stock recovery? Is there anyway to do this within the os? Also I have already uninstalled kingroot and have kept my root.
[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] DroidisLINUX:
You can from twrp just mount system, then use advanced file manager, and copy all files over to their correct places, copy su, and make a nother su named isu, and ku.sud and replace all those files like I showed using twrp it will work.
[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] Shlickwilly:
The following i copied form masterchief in the other zmax post it is IMO a good safe way of having the ability to run the phone in "recovery boot mode" and still having a twarp in the boot partion that will allow a user to reinstall a backup to the "recovery boot" at least that is how I understand it . As I haven't done any of this yet I'm just going on what I have siffed out of the sea of posts.

"Masterchief"

Here is what I've been doing.

I used kingroot to get temp root.

I then used terminal emulator to make backup copies of the stock recovery and boot.img.

I then downloaded and installed twrp, and then rebooted to recovery and flashed the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip for permanent root.

After doing this I made two flashable zips.

The first one

(ZMAX_TWRP_&_BOOT_SWITCHER.zip) flashes the boot.img to the recovery partition in order to allow the system to be mounted rw while booted in android, and flashes twrp to the boot partition just in case the s### hits the fan.

The second zip

(ZMAX_TWRP_&_BOOT_RESTORE.zip) flashes twrp back to the recovery partition and puts the boot.img back on the boot partition for whenever I need to restore a backup to fix a soft brick or if I need to flash a zip.

These two flashable zips allow me to have full root capabilities without ever having to uninstall twrp.

Twrp cannot write to the system partition when it is on the boot partition, BUT IT CAN flash

ZMAX_TWRP_&_BOOT_RESTORE.zip. Once you flash twrp back on the recovery partition and reboot recovery, you can restore a backup or flash zips. Once that is done you can flash

ZMAX_TWRP_&_BOOT_SWITCHER.zip again and have full root capabilities. Because of this I can modify the system however I see fit without fear of bricking my phone. It is not the most sophisticated way of doing things BUT IT WORKS.

Worked, uninstalled kingroot and kinguser. Can't find Chinese character apps.

Looked in app manager and app drawer.

Safe to reboot to twrp?

[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] DroidisLINUX:
Did you choose uninstall su or unroot, in kinguser APK, there is 3 options, like backup ota survival, and one more the top three choices under kinguser settings need to be done I believe, but I might be wrong, Chinese characters APK will be the last APK in your app drawer doesn't need to be uninstalled, but its just a task manager that will watch your activities I would just delete it, if you can't find it !maybe you didn't install it it normally installs itself right after root, maybe the English very doesn't install it

Kingroot sure fire root

Use MASTERCHIEF87 boot swither zip to get system r/w and kingroot will work first time every time. Then boot into recovery flash the boot restore and flash a system backup only need system. ...Then move the su files into the proper places in system.. It would seem that the problem with kingroot is getting system to be r/w, I tried this five different times today and all five times were on a clean system backup..every one of them worked without kingroot failing or rebooting.
[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] CarlJung:
I'm a little confused on what to do here., Im not exactly a noob, but Im still a little confused and would appreciate some help.

I got temp rooted using Kingroot

While temp rooted I installed ZMAX TWRP the lasted VERSION 2.8.6.0 from

( FROM ANDROID FORUM CANT POST LINKS, BUT I THINK IT WAS UPDATED YESTERDAY )

From there I deleted all the Chinese apps

booted into recovery with the TWRP app

Made a backup like I always do,

Installed S.U with no problems.

So I'm wondering if my device is ready to install custom roms yet, I still have TWRP 2.8.60 because I am able to boot into it from just holding the Up Volume button and Power button. Im able to boot into it anytime I want and I still have root. because in a normal android case it looks like it would be ready to go, but then I see these two links below and I get confused ( JUSTIN CASE TUTORIAL FROM GOOGPLE PLUS , AGAIN CANT POST LINKS ) and ( THE LINK RIGHT AFTER THE JUSTIN CASE LINK IN THIS THREAD THAT GOES TO ANDROID FORUM )

[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] Masterchief87:
According to your last post on the other thread you have already installed twrp recovery so temp root is no longer needed. Now you just need to follow the instructions above. Download supersu from the link i posted above, Uninstall kingroot kinguser and Chinese character app, power off your zmax, then boot into twrp recovery by holding power+volume up for 3-4 seconds.

Then press the install button and select UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and swipe to install. Then reboot system. You will then have permanent root

For over clocking we need to get a custom kernel with new higher frequency for kernel, that requires some decent dev skills, for system read write you can try Masterchief87 flash able zips from twrp if you rooted with king root and installed twrp recovery, basically it puts twrp on boot.IMG and boots android from recovery with the boot.IMG for full read write

Here's some of the heavy applications you need running in the background.

I had running the games Fruit Ninja, Temple, Temple 2, chrome browser with 25 blank tabs, lots of launchers.

I don't know if it contributed anything. I set the brightness to 15 seconds and made sure the screen did not sleep while the king root was running.

make sure you turn off the phone completely after a fail, and then restart to clear the cache and data from king root under App.

Now go ahead run all the above applications and more if you want.

make sure to pick home launcher before running king root to root.

When you say stock recovery, are you talking about the stock recovery.img which serves to install ota updates and factory reset your phone? If so, which variant of the Zmax do you have? I ask because a lot of people have been mistakenly calling TWRP backups "recoveries" instead of backups.

[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] Masterchief87:
When you flash a new ROM you have to factory reset & format system before you flash it. Also, it is a good idea to delete the Android folder on your internal storage because sometimes leftover data from your old ROM can cause issues. Lastly, if you have problems with GApps(google apps) that is probably a problem with the GApps package you flashed not the ROM itself.
