Did any of you change the density in build prop (ro.sf.lcd_density)?

I doubt this can fix the moto display under 1080p, but it does fix my instant message apps' picture scaling problem under 1080p though.
[X Style (Pure) General] Luckzzz:
Riding through 2 different resolutions could make it worst I guess.. I may prefer one of them. Just thinking out loud :silly:
[X Style (Pure) General] osiris970:
How can you change individual app resolutions in app settings?(I have the xposed version)
[X Style (Pure) General] psu2fan:
I as well would like to know this. While I do see the option to change resolution, 1080 is not listed.
[X Style (Pure) General] revolagoy:
If you are trying to use App Settings version 1.1 in the exposed modules it doesn't work. You need version 1.13. Search on XDA for the App Settings app and you can find version 1.13.
[X Style (Pure) General] psu2fan:
Thanks!

Changing res/dpi for chrome works though the app looks like it's not full screen (it resembles chrome on my desktop with tabs at the top). Does anyone have any extra settings to remedy this? I haven't found it yet. The other apps all look good at 1080
[X Style (Pure) General] Henryy97:
I've tried using App Settings with xposed to change resolution on games. No noticeable difference in FPS or battery at all. Games I tried : The Room 3 and Modern Combat 5.

I'm guessing App Settings just merely changes the appearance, not the GPU rendering. I assume that the only way now is to do as the OP says so I will try it and report back later.

Does anyone still use this method to increase performance and battery though? Or have most of you went to stock? :)

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Peperopulus:
I was wandering if it is possible to enable all lte bands in M4, especifically in E2303 for south america?? Does this Phone and the other models have the same hardware?? Can I install an E2363 firmware to try o does the Phone bricks??

Thanks everybody!!! (im new in this world, dont be mad :p)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ajuancho:
Hey,

¿Did you had any luck solving that problem?

I am facing the same issue.

cheers
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Peperopulus:
Sorry to tell you I havent. Same say you can brick the Phone by installing another firmware others says that nothing will happen because the hardware is different meaning this Phone cant recieve the bands that is not suppose to. I dont know. I've read other sites seraching for a solution to this problem with no luck. I guess we have to wait till a custom rom that works.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] SharpnShiny:
The model you buy works best in the region it's bought in. Some networks will cross-over when in a different continent, but not all, usually. You can't add frequencies to the phone whenever you want, as far as I know.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] joshdvd:
I have installed a e2303 software on a e2306 phone and it works fine, but still has the e2306 bands.

Maybe in the future there is a way...

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ddygert:
Hello all - I've been working for a few weeks (off and on) trying to get my old Incredible 2 in a working order to use as a wifi media device. To get he newer apps I needed to upgrade to at least ICS. I went through htcdev to be able to flash roms and then decided to downgrade and try to get to s-off - at which point I discovered revolutionary was down....I've since been able to get back to the htcdev unlocked bootloader process so I'm s-on with hboot .98. I'm using TWRP 2.6.3. I've tried three different roms - two cm10.2 and one cm11 and while they flash I'm not able to get past the boot screen (past the HTC one). I've done wipes before each flash and I've flashed the correct boot.img each time. I've tried each one of them at least twice to no avail. Is there any other settings or things to try??

My ultimate problem is that I was able to get to Android 4.2.2 but the app that I need to play my music from the cloud is Microsoft Groove which due to a recent change is no longer working with 4.2.2 (kind of like the perfect timing I had with revolutionary being down) - so I'm trying to get to something higher than that...Any other ROM ideas might help too???

Thanks. I've learned so much following this forum over the last few weeks - I just can't seem to get past this one by myself.....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ddygert:
Well thankfully I was able to solve my own problem...Figure I'd update here in case anyone else comes across the same issues. I basically did not have the best TWRP version installed - you need to have TWRP 2.7.0.0 installed. Once I installed that recovery I was able to flash each and every rom and the phone is starting up fine (after also flashing the correct boot.img file). We'll now see if I can get past the app issue itself that I was having but I'm definitely past the boot screen issue.

[One (M8s) General] Alex-M8:
Exactly what RUU do you need and when i click hboot in the bootloader it fails finding the 0PKVIMG.zip. so idk what to do:rolleyes:
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
The exact filename of the RUU I used:

0PKVIMG_M8_QL_UL_L50_SENSE60_HTC_Europe_1.11.401.1_Radio_1.0.U20410.1@50311_15.00_016_F_release_430101_signed.zip

Do you see a few green lines that say "searching for 0pkvimg.zip" when you go to hboot? They disappear pretty quickly.
[One (M8s) General] Alex-M8:
Yeah i saw the green lines but nothing happend after they disappear
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Is it a fat32 or exfat sdcard? Is the md5sum for 0pkvimg.zip correct? It should be 70eece34781f0b1449f98f03e842f249
[One (M8s) General] Alex-M8:
i checked and it is fat32 and i still don't get where the md5sum is located and where i should put it .-.
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
the md5sum is a long string of characters called a checksum. It scans a file and calculates what number it should get. Other types of checksums are SHA-1, SHA-256, RIPE-MD160 and so on.

MD5 is fairly lightweight so that's why we usually choose md5 for files.

md5sum itself is a program that you can run from the command line. If you use linux, it should be on your computer already, so just do 'md5sum 0pkvimg.zip'. On windows, well, you need md5sum.exe and run that from a command line. But I have not used Windows in so many years that I don't know where to find md5sum.exe. I'm sure you can find it easily... I would google for this, but you can do that too so I'll leave that part up to you.

So: you don't put the md5sum anywhere.. you calculate an md5sum and compare it with the number I gave you previously. Hope this makes sense, keep asking if you need more help.
[One (M8s) General] ma_xiu_:
Hi guys,

Im new to all this I just want to ask for little help here my m8s has unlocked bootloader and modified (unofficial) software (says in bootloader)

Im running 5.0.2 soft ver

Soft number 1.16.401.10

Custom recovery TWRP

Phone is rooted but i need to send it back to htc as its dropping calls randomly within 25secs. All i need is the right ruu so its stock again and says relocked (i know how to relock) official soft and that OTAs would work.

Also do i leave this custom recovery there or before the ruu will i put in the stock one, relock the BL and then the ruu?

Any help is much appreciated. :)
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Just relock. The Ruu does the rest! I used 1.11, the exact filename is in my OP. If you have a vendor phone I'm not sure but I think you can still use the same RUU as I have; if not, you will be notified from hboot. Does that answer your question? :)
[One (M8s) General] ma_xiu_:
Yes thank you.
[One (M8s) General] ma_xiu_:
Tried on windows twice then got a blue screen (on the pc) did the 1.11 on my macbook and phone is now back to official and relocked!

what I am doing wrong here? probably something stupid easy :D :laugh: help please :)

[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Hiya. Ugh I get how frustrating this can be!! But you're close, so we'll get you sorted out. FYI on saturday and sunday I'm not around much (family comes first :o), so replies might take me a while... but we'll figure it out.

You need this exact file:

0PKVIMG_M8_QL_UL_L50_SENSE60_HTC_Europe_1.11.401.1_Radio_1.0.U20410.1@50311_15.00_016_F_release_430101_signed.zip

Copy that to the sdcard and rename it to 0PVKIMG.zip, don't extract it just rename it. The md5sum should be:

70eece34781f0b1449f98f03e842f249

If that won't work, we need to figure out why. That comes next. :good:

version-baseband: 1.0.U20410.1@60201

version-main:

I still need to test it but it looks like Fealdra was right.

Yay!

By the way...

The whole reason I needed to do this is I wanted my daughter to use it with a Giff Gaff SIM.

Vodafone have a SIM lock.

With Cyanogenmod 12 ROM on it the sim unlock code vodafone emailed me would not work.

When I finally got it back to stock it DID accept the unlock code.

I tried everything you said word for word but I get the same error. I cant go back to stock :( I tried uploading the rom many times to my sdcard nothing changed. Always gave an error . Any ideas?

So, it turns out that, you should not upload the whole zip file, but only the rom zip inside the zip that you downloaded and name it 0PKVIMG (without .zip). It is upgrading the phone atm.

2 hours of trying every bit of code I found to understand where is the fracking problem.

[One (M8s) General] Hand Shandy:
Right, my Marshmallow update is failing due to a partition error. Am I correct in assuming that if I flash the phone with its RUU it will correct that error?

If so, which RUU should I be using? It's obviously an M8S, and it's on the Three network in the UK.

Not rooted or unlocked.
[One (M8s) General] Gambitt:
Hi,

I have a m8s from three Ireland, I tried the OTA upgrade and it keeps failing. Bootloader is locked, fully stock, so I was wondering if applying a RUU (europe) was possible via fastboot / ADB.
[One (M8s) General] burleanu:
I had try to flash from SD, I had try to flash with RUU, had been doing all things

Still, no available. All end with same error, and I try all of them :D (European, no branded).

Still, no no no

No OTA wants to go, no RUU, nothing.

For example I received the OTA for my version xxx.10, make everything stock, original blank backup from twrp, changed recovery with one signed (same vers like mine) relock bootloader and OTA failed, and then fun begin.

Try 0PKVIMG way, nothing (with correct rom.zip, not full RUU zip)

Try RUU way

Try the other update from site,

Nothing.

All of them with correct md5!

Now after so much play I end up with firmware.zip from first step of update MM.

I can make also the second onetoo but if someone give a system.img amd a boot img (back-up from twrp) at least to see how it goes MM on our phone :D

Respect!

LE [MENTION=6701903]El-Conkistador[/MENTION]

I re-check everything and still I believe the RUU_M8_QL_UL_L50_SENSE60_HTC_Europe_1.16.401.10_Radio_1.0.U20410.1G50408_15.00_016_F_release_450409_combined_signed is wrong.

In your encrypted version it give system.img just around 2Gb.

I had spend today more time and I learn how to "uncrypt" the rom.zip file and I did get same result, system.img of about 2 Gb

Probably it come broken from HTC or something but this one is not ok.

I do have correct md5 in care you want to say this.

The other ones all have exactly 4.0 Gb per system.img file, and flashing them in phone is OK. The phone boots up.

Your 0okvimg....uncryted.zip even it can't be opened, I can't get the system.img file out.

From mine I can get it but if I flash it the phone doesn't boot it.

Maybe this will solve mistery of so many troubles getting stock with the version 1.16.401.10. Earlyer version are ok.

The phone can be S-OFF only with java-card. The guys from Sunshine don't have any plans to add it.

I figured out (i think) what was with my phone, the image of system is wrong/corupted made, because if I restore from my back-up only system image and boot image the phone don't start properly, it give all kind of failure,

It boot but setup is constatntly "rebooting", as per other system.img it start OK, fresh but OK.
[One (M8s) General] Gambitt:
Ok, so I managed to get the first update of two ( preparation for Android 6 ) to apply after flashing RUU from IR-FILE (0PKVIMG_M8_QL_UL_L50_SENSE60_H3G_UK_1.12.771.10_Radio_1.0.U20410.1@50408_15.00_016_F_release_450151_combined_signed.zip). My guess something Three did to the rom prevents the correct update, as the second update is now failing with same error. I guess I'll have to wait for a android 6 RUU to be available for my provider, or just unlock the bootloader. If it helps, i can upload the latest RUU for Three UK.
[One (M8s) General] wageslave:
Hi voidzero,

I gave this a go and think I have followed all the steps correctly.

I used the ruu that matches the software info on my phone so I used the 1.16.10 one at

https://ruu.lalleman.net/HTC_M8S(QL...8_15.00_016_F_release_450409_combined_signed/

[I know you said this didn't work for you but thought it must be the appropriate on in my case].

When the tile was processed by HBOOT it gives the following error message:

Any idea what I should do now? I know this error has come up before -on page 3 - but I didn't see a resolution.
[One (M8s) General] burleanu:
I did say before that I think it can be something wrong inside that image maybe coming directly from HTC or from were the images come (I think ir-... )

Try to use and HTC_Europe_1.16.401.1 see if you have same problems, and you will get an update to HTC_Europe_1.16.401.10 from HTC (about 100 Mb).

Please tell if this worked!

Respect!
[One (M8s) General] wageslave:
Just to double check - are you saying that this will be successful, or that I will have the same error as you? I'm happy enough to have a go either way but I might not get to it until later today.
[One (M8s) General] burleanu:
Yes in my opinion that have to be successful (HTC_Europe_1.16.401.1), it seems to have inside good system.img file, the other one looks to have incomplete image.

Mine I think I know how it fail (corrupted system.img on my back-up and this one that don't go) and with that one I brake it even more (trying to fix and learning). Now I have to wait for a newer ruu or S-OFF (if I find someone with java-card or XTC)
[One (M8s) General] wageslave:
Cool. I am restoring apps to my phone now and will have a go at this later today or early tomorrow. I'll let you know how I get on.
[One (M8s) General] wageslave:

Are you sure you have everything correct?

Something like your MID, CID, bootloader locked?

Also what version of bootloader you have? With S-ON you cannot downgrade your bootloader.
