Well install some xposed modules and enable all you can.

With a root explorer go to system/app and/or to priv-app folder and delete some files.

After a reboot you will have problems :)

Yes, you can find everything on XDA, there are many threads and tutorials that can help you with all your questions.

There are also threads like this one that might not be are not the right place for such kinds of questions (and answers), as this is clearly labeled as a development thread for the Eragon ROM.

[Elephone P8000] mark2410:
hi sorry, okay more detail.

well up untill now the phone lasts days between charges, because i dont use it much it lasted practicaly most of a week between needing recharged. as of 7.5 (and is the same on 7.6) the battery is draining much faster. as in 50% per day with almost no use. looking at the battery details it sadly doesnt give much reason as to the problem, ill attach a screen grab or two that shows the difference. however i dont have any more details an what is causing it.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
THX.

Since v.7.5 the gueste kernel is on board.

But its very battery friendly.

You can go back to visionary kernel v1.6.1 to test battery there.if you want.

Also this battery drain can be related to some apps you use. (You don't see what they do in the background)

Use better battery stats (search here in xda for it) to locate the battery drain..

Use it 1-2days to see the statistic..

Also did you dirty flashed v7.5 ?

It could be related to it too.

A Wipe cache and dalvik in recovery could help.

black screen during phone calls

Hello, my friends. Is possible black screen during calls to have ? Now i don´t have black screen and I press always button PAUSE or SPEAKERPHONE with my ear on display.

I have newest Eragon 7.6. Thanks.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
thats related to the phone sensor. but it should work (if not you have to reflash v7.5 and v7.6 ota in recovery )

in your appdrawer is the balck screen fixer app. give him superSU permission . after that it will always work

[Elephone P8000] Brewn:
But, as I said before, using the blackscreen fixer app imposes a security threat. Nice feature very badly implemented.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
??

back screen fixer is save to use!!.

we have the source and its fine. and the original black screen fixer is made by a known developer called Flar2 (mostly in/from htc devices)

the problem is:

1. its a known issue that dt2w will break the sensor in calls

2. it can NOT be fixed in the Custom Kernel. thats simply not possible

3. that behavior with sensor issues in calls is not only present in p8000, many phones have it, even nexus devices, thats why flar2 build that app in the past and we use it too (sure we have changed it a bit to fit for p8000 but source is the same)

4. if we want dt2w we have to use this fix. otherwise the sensor issue will be always there in calls.

that is what flar2 wrote for the app:

hope that will clarify things about the fix. because we have to use it if we want doubletap2wake. sure , if you have worrys about the security (but you dont have to! ) you can always go back to the stock kernel, a link to it is on first page.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
:laugh:

I'd love to hear your reasoning for this assumption.

We now have full access to the black screen fixer sources.

All it does is listening to phone state changes (call beginning, call ending) - on call begin it disables doubletap2wake, on call end it re-enables it.

For disabling and re-enabling dt2w it needs su permissions.

That's all.

Where's the security threat and where's the bad implementation?

Edit: Also, if you don't want to use the fixer, you can just disable dt2wake. But you can't have one without the other currently (more likely never).
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
look one post above. haha:laugh:
[Elephone P8000] Brewn:
Sorry, please look at the source code you posted yesterday. In that code, commands are executed via shell. Those commands are constructed from strings coming from preferences and the content of files in the file system. The contents of neither are checked, everything you put in there get's executed. You don't have to be a hacker to be able to completely mess up a phone that is running this "fix". Simply inject your malicious shell command via prefs or file. The evil thing is, that the bad guy does not even need root, because his evil code is executed by another app - blackscreenfixer, which you have to grant root privileges.

So I would not say "safe to use" but "use at your own risk".
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Another app ? No

As i said already yesterday. That is not a full file/code its.just a little little part of it.

If you want to look into the full source.

I can send it to you via pm.

You will See its save.

Gesendet von meinem Elephone P8000 mit Tapatalk
[Elephone P8000] Brewn:
Example:

Someone puts a

PrefHelper.setPrefString("prefDT2W", "; rm -rf /* ;");

somewhere in his OWN code, apk, little game, theme, whatever.

If paramBoolean in the blackscreenfixer code is false, then

arrayOfString[1] will contain the following shell command:

echo ;rm -rf /* ; > "/sys...."

See the problem?
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
The code snippet that has been posted yesterday has been reverse-engineered from dalvik bytecode / smali. It differs widely from the original code in both appearance and partly also functionality.

Reverse-engineered code only serves the purpose of better understanding the smali code, so one can fix an application without having access to the actual sources.

Also this snippet is only a snippet and not the whole application. The values 0 or 1 are written by the app to fixed sysfs paths, which are hard-coded into the app.

BUT I haven't evaluated the original sources, which we received yesterday. They have been written by an XDA Recognized Developer with 48k thanks. Hopefully he will have known how to implement the app securely.

i get stuck with the dark theme. there are to many color hints / paths and allocations from one color to many others. ( and that in most apks)

that means i have to change all allocations to a single color. and even then its not done to 100% . it will take some time to do all. but its feasible! :D

[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Great :) a fullwipe did the magic!

And anyway a fullwipe is the best method to avoid issues. :D

If you use the build in backup and restore app you can easily restore all your apps very fast. Or use titanium backup and make a backup only from the data partition. After a fullwipe you can restore it. (But never use it for system parts.)

Skeleton 1911 -> many thanks for new version - your ROM is the best (many thanks to Stefan Gündhör for new guest kernel also) ...

[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Ha. There is no issue in silent mode and alarm.

If you silent your phone.

Look there is a advanced setting for alarm.

If the alarm is set before you put the phone in silent mode . it works.

[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
No, it's just a trap, I stumbled over it as well. You need to set the sound mode using the volume button and then click on the star with caption "important". Then your phone is basically silent, but you will hear important things like the alarm.

You can adjust the "important" mode in the settings - because in default settings calendar reminders are also treated as important.

This is what it looks like in other phones. Supposed to be a menu string in Security section of settings.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Sry . my bad English . [emoji14]

That way will work too.

Set an alarm with the clock app. Go back to homescreen, set it to silent mode. And then tap on "indefinitely" . now you will see that there is a "until next alarm" button. Tap on it and the alarm will work in silent mode.

But that will only work in a 12hour rythm .

For example your time is 9am and you want an alarm at 1pm. It will work in that way.

But if you set the alarm to 10pm it don't work ,because its more then 12 hours between them.

Hope that this is better to understand [emoji14]
