[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] silencar:
Hi,

I've got the Sony xperia M4 Aqua for a week now - so far so good .. but ..

the LED notification is not soo well adjusted (I think), because:

flashing for a blink of an eye (around 200 Millisecs) and then off for over 5000 Millisecs - its hard to see and u have to wait quite long for the next flash

so I would like to change this to, e.g. 2000 Millisecs on an 2000 Millisecs off .. I guess its not possible without an extra app, so I tried LED Blinker Pro (is it ok to mention apps? Which I used on my old phone)

the settings for the different colors on different notifications works, but the settings for the flash intervall doesnt do anything to the LED :(

anybody else experience this or has an other app which does the job?

secondly - missed calls:

At the moment I dont get a single sign that I missed a call. I dont get a message on the lockscreen or the notification bar!

Where can I put the notification on?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] silencar:
Nobody else annoyed about that short blinking behavior? :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] zana007:
Yeah I was searching for an answer for a long time but I gave up, no app could change the flashing frequency and default settings make the led light useless to me. Someone has any ideas?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] silencar:
did u just search for an app or did u try some apps? and if u tried, which have u tried? :)

there are apps that are supposed to be able to change the flashing frequency, like the mentioned LED Blinker, but on our M4 aqua it doesnt seem to work :(
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] zana007:
I tried led blinker, light flow and light manager, eveything worked beside this freaking flashing. I really lost hope but I cant give up cause this drives me crazy, maybe root will help?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] silencar:
these 3 apps I tried too. no change in flashing behaviour :rolleyes: contacted LED Blinker Support, but no tipp worked for the M4 and it seems too less people complain about it, so the developer doesnt do a research by now :eek:

hoping new firmware or root will do the trick
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] silencar:
over two months later, but still nothing changed :(

maybe if more people complain / react e.g. in this thread, the developer of the apps will see that there is need to do sth :)

this thread has over 1.300 views, so it seems to border more then just two or three people ...

i'd like to start a voting, but unfortanetly afterwards a thread is open, its not possible to add a voting, or is it? :eek: :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Darxor:
Well, sometimes I don´t like the short flashes, too. But overally, would you like your LED to flash like a police car? You can catch that blink if you look at your phone for less than 5 sec, what more do you want? :)

Therefore, I like its behaviour and I do not think it would be changeable without root, or maybe with it. Who knows.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] iDnlSm:
Now that we have root access, someone tried methods involving rooting? This led notification needs change.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] silencar:
to be accurate its off for 6 seconds and flashes so shortly, that it is hard to recognize the color .. :eek: :(

of course I dont want a "stroboscope flashing" :silly: ! But a shorter off-time and a longer on-time, e.g. 2 secs on - 2 secs off, would be very helpfull ..

which timing anybody prefers its up to him (4 secs on - 1 sec off, or 10 secs on - 3 secs off - thats not the point) .. the point is, that it is not changeable .. and with other phones its possible :rolleyes: and I think the apps don't even require root on other phones to work, correct me if i'm wrong. :confused:
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] sowilosurya:
Hi,

I got a rooted M4 Aqua and I tried about 10 different apps to get this changed, but no luck.

I think that the notification led is a very helpful tool. Now 6 seconds (even 5) to check, it's not ideal or practical at all (when you're driving, walking). Plus it blinks for 200ms or so which makes it very . This makes the users forget about the notification led and just switch the screen on. I see there's a lot of views on this but nothing changes.

I'm going to try a custom ROM because this Sony firmware is getting on my nerves. Such a good phone and the software is really making it have bad reputation.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] silencar:
thanks for testing :good:

exactly, thanks for the feedback :good: over 2.000 views now .. so its seems to bother people .. hopefully someday someone will find the solution for this ...
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] silencar:
I've found the way to add a vote/poll :) .. 2.400 views too late, but better than never :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] MK99:
Anything new? I didn't even find solution from xposed modules.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Techy4198:
Hey, this issue is a real problem for me. Any progress been made on this? I'm within my 14 day return period for my M4, and I'm almost considering switching it for something else just because of this.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] vanugenth:
I agree with this. Had a Xperia SP before and it was like a christmas tree but usefull.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] khuago:
Not really concerned about the frequency of the led light. Mine doesnt even flash at all. It would turn on when charging or when the bettery is low. But thats about it. :) installing 3rd party apps might consume my battery faster so i leave it as it is.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Techy4198:
As of today the light no longer even blinks. It is only functional as a charging indicator. The notification LED option is still enabled in Settings > Sound & Notification. I'm probably going to switch the M4 for a C4. I'm definitely not to the point of losing faith in Sony yet though, despite the additional heat issues which are another story.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] silencar:
Nope, there is no progress in this issue ... even the developer of LED blinker pro can't or don't want do anything :rolleyes:

hopefully android 6 will change sth ..
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Techy4198:
Unfortunately I doubt that will help. This does seem like it's more of an issue with Sony's underlying firmware for this phone. In fact, I'm no expert but I believe they wouldn't be entirely out of their minds to build the flashing behavior into the LED control hardware itself. I haven't looked inside one of these phones so I don't know how much there actually is between the main chipset and the LED though. Feel free to correct or deny anything, I'm only speaking from the view of an electronics hobbyist and software tinkerer.

If you are 100% stock update using the ota from stock recovery.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M9)] AaronM7:
So I ran into a small issue. I was rooted with TWRP, and i re-flashed the system image that i created when I first installed TWRP. This took, as I was prompted to reinstall SuperSu. I did not reinstall, then flashed the stock recovery back to the phone.

All good so far.

Then I went to install the OTA, and received the error message

E:unknown command [set_err_msg]

/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system has been remounted R/W

reflash device to reenable OTA updates

Did my reinstall of the system image not take? As far as i could tell, everything worked properly until installing the OTA.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M9)] darll:
I had this same issue and finally figured it out yesterday. The reason is because in older versions of twrp, the minute the recovery is booted it mounts system as read/write. So any backup done after that was potentially flawed.

First you need to download a system and boot image from http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-one-m9/general/please-read-rooting-using-twrp-t3069022. Note that the backup was created with a beta version of twrp so you have to modify the name of system file from system.emmc.win to system_image.emmc.win. Once this is done put it in your twrp folder.

The way i rectified the issue was to first flash the latest twrp recovery v2.8.7.0. The developer added a mount system as read only option in the mount section of twrp. Once you click on the checkbox. Go to restore the system backup, This time it will show up as a system image backup. Once restored, flash stock recovery and boot into os download the system update and it should go through without any hiccups.

Let me know if you have any questions
[T-Mobile HTC One (M9)] AaronM7:
Thanks. I kind of figured it out by following the thread about how to take the phone back to stock for OTAs, and used fastboot to flash the system.emmc.win file (wihtout modifying it.) After that, the phone wouldn't boot properly (probably because I didn't edit the filename,) so I flashed my system backup file. That made it so I could boot. I then flashed the stock recovery and it installed just fine.

Only really outlining what I did in case anyone else has the same issues- they can do what I did to get it up and running again.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M9)] nickmgray:
Thanks for sharing. I've tried this method on two different stock T-Mobile M9 phones, but both return an "E: Failed to map file" error message when selecting apply from phone storage.

Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M9)] kc6wke:
Are you placing the ota zip on internal or external sd?

It needs to be on the internal.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M9)] nickmgray:
It's loaded to internal storage.

Hello,

I'm using the latest version of wm6 pdaviet rom. Can someone please tell me how to HIDE the extended rom so that applications like outlook can use my mini sd card for attachments (i have a lot of email on my machine)? But in a way that the i can run the applications i have on extended rom...just need that pocket outlook doesnt see extended rom as storage card, basicaly!!

I have tried a bunch of reg hacks found at this forum and even tried to run trinityhack, but either the extended rom is hidden and no applications are found or the hack dont work...

I know there are a lots of posts about this subject around the forum... sorry to open another thread but im really confused

All the best,

OliveiraJMR
[P3600 ROM Development] claros:
Use an utility such as trinityhacks or the latest htccustom

Ciao
[P3600 ROM Development] nealed:
you should be able to hide the Extended ROM, set up your apps to use the SD card for attachments etc - and then unhide again. the apps should keep the storage card as the location to store.
[Sprint LG G2] Fas1h:
Any AOSP based rom for G2 with camera as good as stock? All those I tried were a deal breaker only because of the camera quality.

Also can anybody tell me a step by step procedure on how to restore stock nandroid backup after flashing an AOSP rom? Last time I had to tot back to zve then upgrade to zvg > root > autorec > then restore the backup. So its hard to try many aosp roms if I cant return to a backup on the fly.

Ok so, comparisons and saying a rom is better than the other is against XDA's rules, so maybe just help me with restoring stock nandroid so I can play around with different roms maybe?
[Sprint LG G2] :
I'm afraid that's the best way to restore your nandroid backup because it'll put the foundation back in order for your backup to load up properly, such as kernel, baseband, etc; otherwise you'll most likely run into terrible issues. I'm personally using CM12 nightly, and it runs great. I don't miss stock one bit.
[Sprint LG G2] Fas1h:
That's sad. I would love to try more roms. Yeah I tried some aosp roms But the camera was not as good as stock. How is cm12 camera?
[Sprint LG G2] :
Camera works great, I am using cm12 preferred stock camera app version 2.0.002. Focus, flash, and video all work. Front facing camera works too. You have basic settings you can change. On CM12 it just works so smooth since it's not bloated. Of course you can always find other apps out there that you might prefer.

Do a factory reset from recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flying_pigs:
Hi guys,

I was trying to downgrade to COF6 from the leaked DOF8 so I could install the new COF8 update via OTA. My phone was rooted running UniKernel.

I used ODIN to install the entire COF6 firmware - and did a factory reset. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop. It get Tmobile boot screen for a few seconds, then restarts. I've tried to re-flash a few times, and it didn't work. In recovery, it says "dm-verity verification failed".

I'm not sure what else to do at this point - there aren't a lot of options. Any thoughts?

Thank you so much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] itskapil:
[MENTION=4511469]flying_pigs[/MENTION], just do a factory reset from recovery. To boot into recovery hold power+home+volume up when device reboots again. Device should boot alright after factory reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flying_pigs:
Thanks for your reply. I did this first thing, and it didn't work. Exact same thing - device reboots after reset - shows Samsung boot logos, shows Tmobile logo, and reboots endlessly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] steve97ta:
Try redownloading the file then odin again. Did you make sure to unlock the bootloader in developer options?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flying_pigs:
Just tried that...and same problem. Using the file G925TUVU2COF6_G925TTMB2COF6_G925TUVU2COF6_HOME.tar.md5

And yes, it was unlocked, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to install UniKernel.

Thanks so much for your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] steve97ta:
Try just doing the odin of COF6 don't do the factory reset
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flying_pigs:
Ok, somehow I fixed it.

I was able to load up TWRP, so did a full reset there. Then I re-odin'd the file again, this time using the AP button instead of the CP button. Restarted....and now I'm back up.

Thanks everyone for your help, it was able to set me on the right path.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] steve97ta:
Yeah always use AP slot glad you got it going! I may odin flash back tonight to get on cof8. The unikernel should still be able to root it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] itskapil:
@ flying_pigs glad you got it fixed. Btw, always always always use AP (PDA on old Odin 307 and before) for flashing a firmware.. CP is for modem. Anyway, OF8 firmware is also out. Here.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] idCyber:
Can someone recommend a Lollipop ROM and kernel combination that can run smoothly just like on KitKat, the following games? : Minion Rush, Vainglory, Spiderman Unlimited. I have contacted their devs and all of them said the same thing: that they are aware of the problem with our device and the fix must come from Google's side.

Maybe some ROM devs fixed something that Google didn't care to fix even with the latest 5.1.1 release.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dikidera:
What exactly is the performance difference of these games between Kitkat and Lollipop?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] idCyber:
On KitKat they work great, on Lollipop even with high Overclock on CPU and GPU , they play in slow motion for 5-10 seconds, then 1-2 seconds of smooth gameplay and repeat.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] REDswapnil:
In such cases...i would stick to kitkat..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jshamlet:
I've noticed the same. Lollipop on the N7 is a lot jankier. However, I suspect that this was actually a fix to some of the graphical glitches. I know on my N7, you would see crap on the screen for a moment when the keyboard popped back down, etc. It looked a bit like tearing.

I don't really play anything more graphically intense than Temple Run, so I've been fine with it for the most part, but it is definitely noticeable.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] idCyber:
Thanks guys ! I thought someone came up with a fix or something (shame on Google). I am sticking with KitKat and with a Lollipop theme . Sucks Google took a crap on our device with untested Lollipop and ignorance with no fix even after people reporting this to them for almost an year.

After I removed these, my phone failed to boot, so luckily I kept the rooted 11a image on my phone and flashed it in Download mode. I tried to boot up, but was welcomed to a black screen. Couldn't do anything about it, so I did factory reset. It booted, but I lost everything on my phone. I've been really hesitant about removing any LG* apps. I probably won't til we get recovery and I can make a backup to flash in twrp. That download mode prompt is so sketchy.

EDIT: I updated the list above. I have fully removed all Verizon apps(LGVZW ones don't count for now). They are prefixed with a "*" above and are not required to operate the phone at all. LG designed its interwoven overlay for Android without that crap in mind, so I expected it to work out, and history has shown it true for previous devices. Btw, full removal is not the same as freezing. Frozen apps can still start up. Just check a task manager, and you'll notice a few that won't die. All the ones I listed have been deleted and moved to a sdcard folder called .crap, ~850MB. Those gapps I removed aren't required to use a google account and play store. A lot can be added back through play store correctly as /data apps. The other ones prefixed with "Google" I just don't care for.

Also want to mention that the apps in /system/vendor/overlay should not be removed or frozen.

It seems like freezing one or more of the 17 apps below causes delays with push retrieval of exchange email (or at least in apps like Mail Wise and Nine where you can disable server settings). I noticed notifications from test emails going from nearly immediate to absent unless I woke the phone or in some cases opened the mail apps. I am tired of testing this at least for now, (it seems to require a reboot between freeze/thaw to cause a change) so narrowing it down further will have to wait.
