[One (M8) General] razen_kain:
I'm considering converting to gpe fw to see if this helps. I'm currently on 4.16.401.9 and running CyanideL. I know gpe changes the system partition sizes when you convert but CyanideL should still boot, right? Only sense Roms will have problems.

I'm asking because I don't have a computer right now and I'm going to be using skulldreamz's sdcard method to convert and I really don't want to end up with a soft brick.

Has anyone seen a lulzactive gov in any of the m8 Lolli kernels?

I was reading up a bit and it sounds pretty sweet, but out of 10 different boot.img's I tried, I found lulzactive exactly 0 (zero) times ?.

Thanks all
[One (M8) General] PunkUnity:
I want to know about this too.
[One (M8) General] seanwuk:

[One (M8) General] Saber:
lulzactive is a old CPU governor now. There are more efficient governors that work better with the m8.
[One (M8) General] PunkUnity:
I need to know to help someone out with a new kernel. They want the most governors possible and this was a tough one to find. So if you know where to find the source I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
[One (M8) General] Saber:
If you want the original lulzactive, here is the source from the creator tegrak: https://github.com/tegrak/lulz-kern...r/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_lulzactive.c

This code is untouched by other developers, and is sure to give errors to kernel developers who use it.

Now. I see on the HTC One threads that there are questions on why the governor is not available for the device. Well the answer is simple, lulzactive was designed for linux 3.0.X kernel, and all of the kernels for this device I can see are running on linux 3.4.X. This means developers won't be able to directly port the governor to the kernel, as there will be a lot of code that is optimized and will cause conflicts with existing governor code. Therefore, it won't be wise to spend a lot of time on an old governor so that it works on a newer devices.

I know this since I make my own kernels for the Samsung Galaxy S2 (yeah, I know, it's an old device), but the linux version is 3.14.0 (which is way higher than almost all kernels on XDA). So when I try to port old governors to the kernel, it gives me lots of errors. There is nothing that can be done that is efficient so it is best to move on with times.

I hope this clarifies all questions.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tilleridie:
Hi All,

I just bought a used LG G3 from swappa (D850) and had a question. I bought it, factory reset it, and everytime I rebooted the phone it would send a text message. I had no idea if this was a message that got lost in the network or something or what was going on. It would send to an unknown number and the only apps that showed it were hangouts and messenger, it didn't appear anywhere else. I rooted, installed TWRP and flashed the stock Lollipop rom and it seemed to have disappeared. Using App Ops I took a look at the Phone apps permissions and saw that the Phone app has both read and write sms permissions. Not only that but it uses them pretty frequently. I blocked the read permission and it stuck, however I cant seem to be able to block the write one. Is it normal for the Phone app itself to have those permissions?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuraix21:
Does anyone have this problem with this? You hold down the power button, it makes a notification sound while it opens the power menu.

I came from Exsitenz 1.5.0. Then when 2.0.0 came out, I did a complete wipe (cache, data, and system), flash 23.1.A.0.726, and then flash 2.0.0. It was then I got this issue.

I did a complete wipe again and currently using the stock 23.1.A.1.28 build and I STILL got this problem. Does anyone have this problem and if so, Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.
[Nokia Lumia 520 Questions & Answers] dmarkey:
Hi All,

I have a friend that needs to recover an accidentally deleted video file on their Lumia 520 (w8)

It was on internal storage. Is there any hope I could get raw access to internal storage using Thor2 etc?

Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 520 Questions & Answers] GoodDayToDie:
Short answer: Nope.

Longer answer: Probably technically possible if you disassemble the phone and use the right hardware to access the NAND directly. Might be possible if you have root (real root, not just interop unlock and full file system access via MTP and so on) and the phone hasn't been used *at all*, but by now parts of the file have almost certainly been overwritten by the Flash controller's wear leveling and such; the whole file's storage will have been TRIMmed.
[Nokia Lumia 520 Questions & Answers] dmarkey:
I heard somewhere that it might be possible to get the phone is mass storage mode which might yield success. I guess it's not actually possible?
[Nokia Lumia 520 Questions & Answers] GoodDayToDie:
For Lumia phones, the only way I know of to do that requires a development device (i.e. non-retail one, used for internal development and testing of firmware and whatnot). Retail devices are locked out of UMS mode at a very low level.

Even then, there'd be no guarantee. Flash memory overwrites itself all the time, all over the place. The logical disk sectors exposed to the operating system bear no resemblance to the physical memory blocks of NAND flash, which are constantly shuffled for the sake of wear leveling. Otherwise, a frequently-modified location - like a log file or constantly-updated registry key - would burn out the storage where it was located and the whole thing would stop working correctly. On OSes with TRIM support - which Windows has had since Win7, so it's almost certainly in WP8.x - any deleted files are fair game to be re-used for wear leveling and any *large* file is almost certainly at least partially overwritten already. It's not like magnetic storage, where you're fine as long as no new files (or file fragments) have been created; any write anywhere on the file system could destroy the data from a deleted file.

WM6 has a storage card encryption function where things within this card cannot be access by other means. If you lock (add password to) your phone, the information is, theoratically in accessible.

Verizon uses their CDMA database to authenticate the phone eligibility to be used on their network.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToolPunk:
I desperately need more storage on this phone.. :crying: The only way I have found to gain extra storage is to have root and use StickMount. I have a lot of info and game saves that I don't want to lose to a data wipe though. Is there a safe root method on stock 5.1.1 that doesn't wipe data?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drversace01:
The reason rooting with ChainFire's root tool wipes your data is becuase it boots to a custom one-time-use recovery (different from flashing twrp or cwm) to install the SU binaries. However, to do this an unlocked bootloader is needed. When the "oem unlock" command (what unlocks the bootloader) is run, it wipes all user data (the /data partition) as a security precaution, because one could flash something like twrp and then use adb commands to pull your personal files or remove the password on your lockscreen.

I cant verify if his works right now, i just got CyanogenMod 12.1 (pre-rooted) up and running, but you could try this: ROOTMaster

I used that to root my KFHD and my old LG Optimus G, both on older versions of android though. Let me know if it works for you

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup

Try these 2 apps to backup your stuff, you should be able to backup your stuff without root, and then when you have root you could restore it. Just make sure to move the data from the phone because i believe oem unlock deletes everything from it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToolPunk:
My issue with those backup apps is this "* Users with root access can backup APKs AND DATA!". I have tried using backup apps in the past without root and the apps were backed up but I lost my game saves. Which, is really all I am worried about because I know how to back everything else up without root. I have lost games saves a few times switching from phone to phone without root and it sux. Also, with no data wipe I can avoid the hefty amount of time installing and setting up my phone environment. I do very much so understand the importance of a clean wipe and fresh environment though. With no data wipe and root I could back up app data and then do a fresh install.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Srandista:
It all depend on if you have already unlocked bootloader or not. If yes, just install custom recovery (TWRP) and install SuperSU. If not, there is no way to backup data without wiping your data, beside adb backup command.

[General Accessories] ShermCraig:
Disclosure:

I received a free unit from JDB for my honest, unbiased review.

I have included photo's of the item in its packaging and out. I am a big fan of easy to open packaging, and in this case, JDB didn't disappoint. It was packaged attractively (if that is possible), and quite easy to open and access the charger. I mention this because I cannot believe how many times I have damaged a new item simply because of the difficulty in opening the package. Not the case here.

As the pictures show, the item looks as you would expect it to look. It is well built of a very lightweight plastic but feels very solid. I do not anticipate it separating or splitting apart. You can very easily fit it into your front pants pocket should the need arise. The charger plugs easily into your cars cigarette lighter and fits perfectly. It's small enough that I had no issue popping it in and out of my Honda Accord's lighter. As the photo's show, there are 4 ports in the charger: 2 - 2.4 amp and 2 - 1 amp. I had no difficulty using all four. Because my primary device is the LG G4, I used the 2.4 amp port the most. The charger does what it is supposed to, did not get hot to the touch at all, and worked without issue. While plugged in, the charger's side logo lights up blue.

Pros: Small footprint. Lightweight. Convenient to carry around. Lights up when receiving power. 2 power options, 4 ports total.

Cons: Honestly, I have not found any as of yet.

In case anyone is interested, here is the link to the product on Amazon. It is offered in black and white. http://www.amazon.com/Car-Charger-U...l+Chargers+Auto+Cigarette+Adapter+Car+Charger

I hope this helps any prospective buyers. For the money, I think this is a very solid choice.

When you go from a TouchWiz ROM to another (such as a CM-based ROM), is there any S-Pen support through other means?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkos:
Hi All,

I am new here, so sorry if I mess up something or don't know things obvious to most of you :).

I am digging through many articles/review telling about mobile OSes, but can you tell me which one gives me most privacy and security?

What I mean by privacy?

First of all I do not want that any of my data is sent to any central server of some big company like Google/Apple/M$. I don't need synchronization.

I can live without gapps and fb ;).

I don't want to share my contacts, and don't want anyone to read my sms etc. so encryption would by nice.

By security I mean that I can restrict apps what they have access to.

So definitely open source os without any "under the hood" soft like "we know better what you need".

I was testing few OSes on my Nexus 4 and my current summary is like:

- Stock android gives a lot of information to Google through gapps, so I don't want that

- Cyanogenmod - I heard about some rumors of closing some part, using proprietary libraries and in privacy policy I see that they also collect quite a lot of data. Big plus - Privacy control for apps.

- Ubuntu touch - although I like the feel it seems that Canonical is also collecting tons of data and when I was supposed to register while installing any free app from the market...?

- Omnirom - is considered to be open-cm - what you say? Is it almost the same? Does it control app permisions?

- Firefox OS - for me it looks most promising, they write on their webpage that every app has an access only to the part of disk dedicated to it (if I understand android policy "Access to SD card pemission" gives any app right to read/write anything on whole SD?). Also they explicitly say what they collect, the give possibility not to send reports etc.

So what you say?

I was considering Omnirom with F-Droid, K9-mail, Text Secure etc. OR Firefox OS. Any better options?

Thanks a lot for help!
