[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
You are not making sense. Usual linux distro has a boot partition that contains 1 or more kernels, and 1 or more ramdisks that match those kernels. Usual linux distro also has a multi-boot boot loader, which is able to select between the available kernels and ramdisks. An android device is arranged such that it has a SINGLE-boot bootloader, and its boot partition is just a kernel+ramdisk stuck together. You can stick a ubuntu kernel and ramdisk together in the EXACT SAME WAY, if that is what the bootloader requires.

As far as "getting a mainline kernel to fit... blah blah blah", the thing is... mainline kernel isn't any bigger than what you have. The difference with a "typical linux kernel" is that it isn't built with just the drivers that support that specific device, it is built with pretty much EVERY common driver built in, so that it will work on most hardware without being rebuilt. Delete the crap that you don't need, and it should fit just fine.

OR for that matter, what makes you think that something like Ubuntu won't work just fine with a kernel built for Android? Android runs on a LINUX KERNEL. Just change out the ramdisk for one more suitable for... whatever, and call it good.

Now the big question I would have about doing this.... is WHY? Nexus Player is awesome BECAUSE it runs Android TV. If you are looking to run a desktop linux on a thing that plugs into your TV, look into something like an INTEL COMPUTE STICK.

Hi this is my first thread and also an emergency but any help much appreciated! :)

My Optimus F6 had this problem every few months but it usually fixes itself, where it gets caught in a boot loop and the MetroPCS logo would keep repeating on startup without going to home screen. The last time it happened a couple months ago it was also shutting down really fast without me doing anythingwhen it did work , so it most likely thought power was being held when it wasn't. I fixed it be blowing into the buttons and pressing them while the phone was off. I also removed the battery/sim card a lot.

Anyway today it went into the boot loop again...so I held the volume keys and the home button before turning it on, and it went into what I assumed was the recovery menu. Now this couldnt have been more than a couple seconds, but I was looked at the choices, and then it acted if I had pressed a key...and then it said "Error" unable to something something...regardless though I pulled out the battery immediately, this all happened very quickly. Now the phone boots fine but I'm getting the startup wizard as if it had reset. Now when I try the Recovery Menu again the choices seem normal now, so I maybe accessed a different menu before. I called LG and no help, I really need to know if the phone has been reset or not?

I have to go to work in a couple days and the thought of all my critical data being lost and my contacts and photos and memos on internal memory gone is gonna be really bad, I have no way to get some of the stuff back. Please help! Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Why don't you go through the start up wizard without logging in to anything and see? If it has been reset, I hope you had it set to back up your data to Google or some other cloud service or you're out of luck if it was not saved on an external SD card.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SarahJ:
I would but I'm afraid if I go further through the Startup Wizard it'll further erase and chance I have of getting my data :(

It's either gone or not already. Going through the Startup Wizard has no effect on that.

Anyone wish to share how their experience is?

I'm currently running Tekxodus URV1 5.11 and its fine but my issues are:

-poor battery life (Android OS culprit)

-Hate the status bar mods you cant take off (click top right turns off phone...interferes with swipe down to multi window)

Thank you

Which Kernel are you on. My battery life has been way better on this rom. (BeastMode Kernel)

Also the status bar mod you refer to can be reverted to stock. There is a download in the Tekxodus OP to change this.

Now questions for your... How was the T3 for you when on stock? Were there any bugs or quirks? How long did you run on stock? Trying to figure out if my phone was faulty or if it was the firmware that comes with the T3.

Thanks!

I'm using Ovrdrive and like you, i hated the status bar mods that I couldn't remove. What I winded up doing was just grabbing a stock system.UI apk and just giving it proper proper permission when i dropped it in the system/priv app folder and it solved that problem for me.

As for kernal, i use the emotion kernal. I work security overnight and im LITERALLY always on my phone from the start of my shift to the end and i get about a good 6 hours of heavy use.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] chipanzee05:
Hi, I'm currently using Daxatk, a hex editor. As you can see, there's the current app locked by the editor on the upper left corner of the picture. However, when using Daxatk in my Z Ultra, the Xperia Home is being locked by the app and not the other app itself (e.g. Ragnarok Path of Heroes). I think it's because the on-screen buttons (back, home, and multitasking) are displayed whenever I play a certain game.

Can anyone give me a solution for disabling the Xperia Home app so that the hex editor will lock my currently-opened software?

Here they did a test with most new phones including the Z5! Shame i cant link the photo's directly so you have to go to the link it self http://www.phonearena.com/news/First-Xperia-Z5-vs-iPhone-6-Plus-vs-S6-vs-Z3-vs-G4-camera-samples-comparison_id73408

The Z5 takes pretty awesome shots and its way better then the z3 camera. The colors look so much more correct and in some phones it beats the sgs6.

Edit:

http://support.sonymobile.com/us/contactUs/phone/?region=en_US and ask if they can add RAW support :)
[Xperia Z5 General] banggood:
I like iphone 6 plus more.
[Xperia Z5 General] alankstiyo:
the red on the iphone looks washed out or better said, the amount of light on the car is captured more on it. the z5 captures the real color from my perspective
[Xperia Z5 General] yavhin:
In my opinion Z5 is better than Iphone 6+ and GS6, colors of the 2 is slightly saturated.
[Xperia Z5 General] keilun:
Regardless of color accuracy, the resolution increase still does not helps getting sharper images. There is too much noise reduction applied, especially compared to iPhone 6. Apple here does a decent job although I'd rather have much more noise and no NR applied in camera. Worst offender is LG, which applies an insane post-NR sharpening.

I think we should wait for production samples and hopefully some 3rd party app that can leverage better on this new sensor. Otherwise there is no real advantage against Samsung or Apple.

As for color accuracy, it really comes down to the app and how much processing is done. On my screen (which is calibrated, but it's not best quality panel) and to my eye Z5 has decent overall color rendition, but I prefer the G4 in the first picture (less punch but the overall colors are more accurate) and the iPhone in the third.

In the end, we are not yet at compact camera level - maybe next iteration (z6 or z7 or whatever they will call it). I'd really love to have an RX100 performance squeezed into a phone ;)

Found a site with more samples pics from the Z5 vs note 5. http://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/4523/4953454/1/rv/sony-xperia-z5-compact-review/ Its a close call but Z5 wins when its shoots a photo in the dark tho.

All photo's on the left side are made by Z5 and right side is the note 5

exsample: [IMG="Z5"]http://timg.eprice.com.tw/tw/mobile/img/2015-09/15/4953454/epic520_4_4523_f44c1a12acdc67b5188d8bbf622d2ae1ori.jpg[/IMG]

[Xperia Z5 General] chesterr:
Am I the only one seeing that low light photos look good on Note 5. Specially the example you gave, Note 5 has more details compared to Z5. Yea we all know that Samsung dose produce more warmer pics which makes the photo looks yellowish, but if you take a closer look the noise reduction is so aggressive in Z5.

View attachment 3476394

P.S: Ah no wonder you seem to mix up the two photos. Note 5 indeed do look better here. :p
[Xperia Z5 General] CandyAndy:
Sony for some reason still cannot make a good camera. Note 5 does look much better in almost every situation.

Also look at the sky in that one pictre. Z5 completely burnt while Note 5 shows some nice detail
[Xperia Z5 General] chesterr:
http://www.uberlin.co.uk/berlin-moments-september-7th-september-15th/

These pictures looks awesome. and yea it got lotta details too. We need further tests to see how it's done. Since they can always get it right with software.

New camera module absolutely promising. Specially colour accuracy.
[Xperia Z5 General] RiTCHiE007:
Think its time you get some glasses bro. The first one and clearly the best low light photo is made with the Z5 not the note. Even if you zoom in on the billboard etc you see that the note blurs and has to much overexposed. But both are good camera's tho/.

I am a Sony Fan But i Must admit the samsung note 5 is killing sony camera what a poor detail in z5 i hope there is improvement in the last release
[Xperia Z5 General] chesterr:
Yea Note 5 has a great camera indeed, but I am pretty sure this is related to Software, and eprice device doesn't have the latest camera UI that means it's not running on the latest build, so untill then we can't really say which is better.

But overall Sony has good colour accuracy when it's day-time, I hope it'll be fixed with updates. I really want is more control over the camera such as Manual shutter speed and raw. Hope to see more improvement before the phone's released.

Z5 vs S6

http://www.zoomit.ir/articles/mobile/23823-sony-xperia-z5-vs-samsung-galaxy-s6-camera-comparison

..maybe the difference is beacuse of the wider field of view on the Z5.
[Xperia Z5 General] chesterr:
Yep you're absolutely right. Cause it crops the image and once that happens you get very noised up images.

Best way to keep it to 20MP on 16:9 and take pics.

And what mode was used on the Z5? The auto mode? and at which resolution? Because when i look at the original res it shows that the s6 shots in 5312x2988 while the Z5 shots are 3840x2160 while its 16mp vs 21mp so its kinda weird. (3840 x 2160 pixels (read 8.3MP) So i dont count this samples as proper.

[Xperia Z5 General] RiTCHiE007:
Well the problem i have with the Z5 is that sony kinda sucks on the software side. And doesn't the note 5 also use a sony sensor but at 16mp its out shoots the Z5 which is sad to say because the z5 has the new sensor... so it all comes down to software tweaks. But im cancelled my z5 preorder and think i might go for the honor now. Did you like that phone?
[Xperia Z5 General] dexterxda:
I think the Note 5 is better coz of OIS. And also give any sensor to Sony Mobile and they'll find a way to get the crappiest pictures out of it. I 'm very disappointed, was really looking forward to grab one of the z5's.
[Xperia Z5 General] gavinfabl:
I am fortunate that due to my website, I have a lot of phones in testing at the moment, some of which I am under NDA. Most phones have a Sony sensor, so the trick is the ISP and software and other components that go with that. That boils down to cost. How many royalties are companies going to pay for in a budget priced phone!

So to answer your question, the Honor 7 is superb. Feels very premium. Despite the Huawei Mate S only having a 13mp rear camera, it does take better shots than the Honor 7. But most people wouldnt care or realise. Then take the Samsung Note 5, or S6 that take brilliant photos. But then look at the LG G4 shots and IMO are a league above anything for stills, but not video. Samsung takes that crown.
