hi, im running schap's awesome (big thank you) 3.30 rom and i cannot overwrite the original htc weather *xml file in windows

i've tried disabling the home plugin, ive tried through activesync, through file explorer, ive even done a hard reset but with no luck

ive searched for this (i know people always say this) but could only find how to change the xml file,no one seemed to be suffering from this problem

i could change the xml file with ease in black majik rom

any helpwould be appreciated

many thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] weakstorm:
solution, i guess...

when you start working witk .xml file in windows, first change the file attribute and uncheck the box "read only". make the changes, save the file and then check the attribute again make the file "read only" again. i hope it works. it worked for me...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] schaps:
The weather XML file is in ROM, you can't overwrite ROM files with File Explorer. For that you need to replace the file using another software like Resco Explorer, and disable the Home plugin before doing it, to have more chances that it works.

How do you change it in Black Majik? Any iinput would be appreciated!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wotandsdwys:
OK, So I went to flash the latest M preview today coming from the latest CM nightly. Tried flash-all but, as always, got the system.img error. So I flashed everything again manually. Checked recovery and it only went to the dead android with the red triangle. Tried booting like normal, but its stuck on the new boot animation for 30mins or so.

After that I figured I would wipe and try to flash back to stock latest Google image. After flashing all parts manually for LMY48I, I'm still getting the dead android at recovery and stuck at boot animation, still the NEW animation, not the previous one from LMY48I.

Is there anything I'm missing here? I'll keep plugging away at it.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I think the issue here is you don't know how to use stock recovery? Android laying on its back and triangle is normal stock recovery. Hold volume up and press power at that screen.

As for why you're not flashing system, we'd need to see the output of your fastboot commands (Screenshot is best)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wotandsdwys:
I'm still getting no response from holding volume up and pressing power while in stock recovery. I have been flashing system manually, but it is not flashing when running the flash-all.bat. I will try going back to an even earlier factory image now. Still stuck in a bootloop at the NEW animation, not the old one from 5.1.1
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
To use the flash-all.bat and successfully flash system image need the adb/fastboot from SDK 23+. :cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Try the other way. Hold power and press volume up. Thats the combo anyway. Not that stock recovery can help you anyway.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wotandsdwys:
That worked to get into recovery. I now have the latest SDK tools and platform tools loaded. I'll see what I can do!

Thanks everyone!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
try and fastboot format:ext4 system before you flash system.img
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wotandsdwys:
Got everything figured out. Small, dumb issues are to be expected when trying to flash the latest version with an outdated SDK.

Thanks everyone!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Cool. And yes, older sdk fastboot cannot handle such large system.img
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
Still need to learn how to fastboot the separate images. Won't always need to flash all images or wipe the userdata every time. :p:cool:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstretch35:
Hi, hope someone can help:

I was using my Z3 compact and the volume went down by itself, it then turned its self off. When I went to turn it back on I get 3 buzzes and nothing. After a while it is totally unresponsive to any of the suggestions on here e.g. hold power and volume etc. If I plug it in to charge, I get the red light and I go through the start procedure and it flashes up with Sony, goes into the charge screen but then the 3 buzzes again. I did manage to get it woking once for about 5 minutes but the volume turned down again and I kept getting the volume slider across screen until it shut down again.

Thanks

Hello superstretch35,

Have you ever submerged the phone in water? I've heard about a plenty of users that's been having said symptons after their phone was damaged by water getting inside of the phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] apurva.giri:
A phone even with killer looks and amazing features still needs a descent battery backup to support it all. In past we've seen that a few tricks here and there always tend to increase battery life. Usually that includes disabling a few apps or features. This thread is for specifically targeting such tips & tricks and sharing it all so that S6 Edge+ can live upto its expectations..

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] hiteshonline:
Tweak brightness.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] st8chic:
I believe rooting a phone can improve its battery life. This method works for almost all devices. :p
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] apurva.giri:
I'm sure you mean rooting and installing all sorts of battery saving items/tweaking. :p

Marely rooting wouldn't bring any difference to battery life for sure!:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] sandeeppathak007:
Just tweak brightness, make sure you getting good signal and use WiFi when available, don't leave Abby of the radio on unless not using it and that shall be good I guess
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] edo101:
How can you disable those apps. I'm on T Mobile but we have our share of T Mobile bloat. Would love to disable a bunch of them without customizing my files lol
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Just long press the app in the app drawer and drag it up to where it says disable.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] edo101:
What is an app drawer lol?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] WizeGuyDezignz:
It's the icon on the lower right corner of the screen that says "Apps". Once you get in there find the app that you want to disable. Long press the icon of the app and drag it to the upper left corner of the screen where it says "Disable". Then when the "Disable" word lights up red just release the app into there.

Check out my screenshot for an example.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] edo101:
Got it!, and Thanked. I'm actually on a Note Edge on 5.0, just moved back down to 4.4.4, it doesn't show up as disable.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] vravik:
Please tell me a solution if any one knows:

I open facebook and after some time i close this application by click on list tasks soft key and close it. Immediately when I go into setting > application manager > running apps I still see a facebook process running. Technically i guess this should be gone i guess and hence any idea how to clean these which i guess can improve battery life.

Update: If I have notifications turned on in facebook then yes it can still run some process even after I close it in Apps Tab but I see the same with Samsung Music Player i.e after I close it I still see a thread in "Running" Apps.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] apurva.giri:
These kind of apps do tend to run a background process to check for updates. Closing the app doesn't necessarily mean that the processes will close. And I'm not even sure even if you turn off all the notification services of an app, all the related processes will close for sure, it depends. Also, if you are using apps like facebook etc, do not worry much about the battery life if you have turned off the background data usage and notification services. It will have very minimal impact, almost negligible!

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] pokosik:
Dont forget that some applications have services/listeners which autostarts when you kill them. Listeners/services is required if you want applications to work corectly, they start main application only then you need it. So if you kill them then they will restart and will use some cpu and ram. So theoreticaly there is no need to kill them manualy.

Do you guys also have system Android as second, which eats up to half as maluch battery as the screen?

No synchro, doesn't matter if the location is on or off, without power saving I get like 5h sot.

Using wifi and 3g.

Google now, maps and Facebook messenger are installed and used.

Any tips? Maybe should I try with battery saving? (But it gets so laggy...)

Anyway, is system Android as second in usage all the time is normal?

As my personal experience, the battery really sux... I used many kinds of mobile phones, when the phone fully charged at 100% and take long time for 1st drop to 99% but my edge+ just easily drop within minutes, The only problem I hate my edge+ is the sux battery life.

Is not that how it should be? I hated that on my LG G4, the battery stayed forever at 100% then started drowning like a concrete block in the water.

Anyways, with the settings tweaked shared in this thread I can achieve 4-5 hours of SOT on pure 4G. To comparison, with the LG G4 3,5 was the most.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Colin Marr:
anyone know what the built-in app optimization does vs what Greenify with root would normally do? I'd like to think it's having an overall beneficial effect though it's worth noting that I had to work backwards why my live wallpaper was suddenly failing and remove it from the optimization list...
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Riardon:
I have the same apps and tweaks as you do and I get the same SoT as you. Andoid System is always the 2nd battery hog after screen. I don't know if this is normal or not or Lollipop is to blame for. I would also like to ask the same you.

Does anybody has experience with Ad Guard? I was rooted on my previous phone, not on my S6 edge +, and I am wondering if Ad Guard eats extra battery in daily use. If it cost me extra juice won't install it -but some kind of (non-root) ad-blocking would be welcome.

It isn't on the S6 / Edge, they only have Chrome. On this one Chrome is on the home screen but then i noticed an icon for Internet in the app drawer and it's Samsung's browser. It's better, faster and has built in reader mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rippley05:
Yea, thank goodness. They allowed it on the Note 4 as well, but it was gone from the s6. I absolutely despise when Verizon does that garbage

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rippley05:
For me, it's less of a memory leak. It also has little things like the ability to hit dictionary on words highlighted with the stylus. I've just never liked Chrome all that much, even tho I use it a lot, even on desktop. Windows 10 edge browser kills it in features..just needs to be optimized.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JasonJoel:
How does Edge kill it on features?!? Edge doesn't even support extensions yet... By definition it can't beat it on features...

That was truly one of the silliest things I've read all day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rippley05:
Oh crap, forgot about the hyper sensitive nerd ragers on XDA. Sorry.

Maybe I shouldn't say kill it, but "will" kill it once things like extensions are added. Edge has reading view, save pdf, annotations, decent cortana integration on desktop, etc. A lot of things you can get with Chrome, but through extensions. Extensions slow Chrome down (you'll disagree, but it does). Maybe I chose my words poorly, Chrome has features that I use a lot..but extensions aren't one of them.

This is for me personally. I understand you like Chrome and it's the greatest thing ever for you. It isn't for me. That's ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JasonJoel:
Rager Lol. Whatever.

Almost every feature you listed can be done with extensions in Chrome.

Regardless, I do agree that the Edge browser has a lot of potential though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] SwordOfWar:
Personally my browser of choice for Android is Firefox (If you'd like to know why, I can go into more detail).

But, sometimes it's nice to use the minimalistic/stock browser, in this case the Samsung browser. Usually because they offer enough functionality to do what you need for basic browsing while being fast and light on the phone, so it doesn't eat your battery or memory up as much as a full-featured browser like Chrome/Firefox will. This is particularly true for low end phones with lower specs.

But since the specs are so generous on this particular phone, I've honestly just been using Firefox so far.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] roar8181974:
My phone was previously rooted (can't remember if I used mobogenie or Kingoroot). I un-rooted using superuser in an attempt to get the update to 4.4. when I tried to boot in recovery mode it says "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest ATT store for help" and "Secure Fail: KERNEL". It can be put in download mode. I've tried using odin to go back to the stock rom but get a "fail" everytime (with the pit file and without) and the message "Complete(Write) operation failed". I also tried to push files using fastboot but the computer doesn't recognize my device when I type "adb devices" -- nothing comes up. I also tried Kies but it just keeps saying "connecting" but never does.

Ultimately what I am trying to achieve is #1 unbrick the phone (of course) and #2 to end up with at least 4.4 (or possibly higher if available).

Try flashing just the boot loader in odin. That saved me several times
[Android One (Second-Generation) General] Sadronis:
Helle guys, i have succesfully dumped the stock rom from General Mobile 4G and now it is ready to flash via fastboot.

To install the Stock ROM you need;

-to have fastboot installed on your PC

-get your phone to bootloader

after those you only need to run flash-all.bat from the zip.

Happy flashing!:highfive:

[Android One (Second-Generation) General] pawitp:
While it might work, I wouldn't recommend you do it unless you know what you're doing.

- The differences between LUZ59J and LUZ59K is probably minimal and might not be worth the risk

- You will likely not be able to receive OTAs if you install a build that is not available from Google on your device

- If installing LUZ59K didn't go well and you didn't make a proper backup of LUZ59J, then you might have trouble making your phone work again until someone shares a proper backup.

Hello fellow S3 owners.. I am trying to get a poll on the most stable but feature rich ROM. Please let me know if you have one not listed on the poll.

I am currently on AICP (6.0.1) and it has a lot of great features.. I have tried OCT M and CM 13 but they both seem to lack the on ability to add custom buttons or tiles to access the power menu / screen shot / or phone sound profile.

I was using PAC ROM, but it seems to be bogging down more and more.. it also has had a few times where it freezes and then reboots. Its not TOO often.. but It does make me curious to see what other options are out there.

Thanks so much! :good:
