HTC M8 (Verizon)

Anyone know why CM12.1 during a clean install will resize the /system partition down to 1 GB?

Using TWRP 2.8.7.0, I can resize /system up to 2644 MB. After CM12.1 gets installed, /system goes back to 1004 MB. The partition is larger than that though...

ls /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2015-09-22 15:29 system -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p47

cat /proc/partitions

Anyone? I can't be the only one who is running out of space in /system.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbouza1:
what firmware you have ? usually they have small system partition .
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BSOD2600:
Was on 4.17.605.5, just upgraded to 4.17.605.9 today. Regardless though, the phones partitions in the first post show /system has 2GB allocated.

I know CM12.1 is resizing the partition during the install. In TWRP, I do a full wipe and /system is 1 GB. I resize it to 2 GB. Install CM12.1 and /system is back to 1 GB again.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegameksk:
Hey guys. On my Plex for mobile and my PC can create and view playlists. On the fire tv version, I don't see any playlists. Anyway to get them? Also I am not able to play videos. I keep getting "can't play videos". They work on my PC and mobile but not fire tv. Any advice?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldeveraux:
did you open all the necessary ports on your server? I don't know which ones offhand, but it should be in the installation guide
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegameksk:
Yes. When I run it I have to use kodi to open it. I have no idea why I get no playlists.

Anyone know whats a good external player I can use?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mscroggi:
I dont think playlists are supported yet. I think only the roku and generic android app supports lists. An on the generic android app , you have to use mobile view as opposed to tv view. I am not sure why it is taking so long to get list support across the board.
[Huawei Watch] swngdncr:
Hello All, I think I might have discovered the problem with the HRM. If I have it on and my arm is pretty stationary, it reads fine. As soon as I flick my wrist or other movement the HR freezes.. If someone is willing to download Sport Gear Tracker and see if your watch does the same thing-- would be helpful. Just start SGT on the watch, touch the square in the center, then you will see three symbols show up. On the right is the "settings" wheel, on the bottom seems to go to your records or history. The top one is a triangle - the start button. Drag the triangle down to the middle square and it starts the HRM. Watch it for a while and make sure your heart rate is changing, you might need to walk around a bit. Once you know it is working and actively registering your HR, then flick your wrist and/or move your arm around with somewhat sharp motions, and see if you HRM freezes. If it doesn't than I will assume I actually have a defective watch, and I can send it back... Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out here... -cjr-
[Huawei Watch] tsells:
I did everything you said and all was working fine....but the HRM froze when I flicked my arm while moving my arm!!!
[Huawei Watch] tiny4579:
OP this is a duplicate thread to the HRM thread you already opened. Its about the same topic. I know duplicated happen but isn't this too early for duplicates?

I'll be sure to test this tomorrow or Thursday after getting my watch.
[Huawei Watch] swngdncr:
Thanks Tsells.... Tiny, I didn't really see it as a duplicate... since I was wanting someone to do a specific test, I thought it would be better to put it in a new thread... Looking forward to hearing your results from the test when you get your watch tomorrow... -cjr-
[Huawei Watch] tiny4579:
Just tested it. It stopped updating my heart rate once I flicked my wrist. So maybe this ISNA common problem with the watch. Not a deal breaker. I didn't get this for fitness.
[Huawei Watch] tsells:
The HRM works just fine in the Fit app on the watch. The problem seems to be with compatibility with the Sports Gear Tracker app that the OP uses.
[Huawei Watch] swngdncr:
I actually tried it with several applications with same outcome. I can check out fitbit. I did download Endomondo, and it does seem to work. I haven't used it exercising yet, but turned on and walking around the house etc., it did stay running.
[Huawei Watch] swngdncr:
What fitbit app were you using? Fitbit apps that I found only support fitbit devices and a few others. Is there a fitbit app that uses the HRM monitor function in the watch?
[Huawei Watch] tsells:
I'm using Google Fit app that's pre-installed on the watch and also installed it on my phone.
[Huawei Watch] swngdncr:
So maybe I'm missing something here. Are you talking about the app with the heart shaped widget that says "Fit" underneath it? This app doesn't have a start/stop function. As I understand it, it supposedly automatically detects your activity and records it? It doesn't appear to have a function to allow you to monitor your HR as you are working out. It only recorded 3 minutes today, when I played tennis for 2 hours! The only way I can find to see HR data is by opening the app on the phone, clicking on "show graph details" , then in the bottom right corner on the there is a drop down list which has a "heart rate" selection. But, when I click on that, for today there was no heart rate data recorded -- zippo, none, not one beat-- guess I'm dead. There is also a "Daily Tracking" app, but that also has no start/stop function. I gather it just gathers data from other applications and reports it. There is also a "Fitness Tracking" app which does have a start stop function, but has no HR monitoring function that you can watch as you are exercising to see your heart rate. That application appears to only be on the watch, i don't see a companion app on the phone. And lastly, there is Huawei Wear app on the phone, which appears to be Huawei's fitness app. it only recorded 1 hour of walking for me today, and again, has no Heart Rate data that I can find. So, I am curious to know which app you are using and how you are seeing the Heart Rate data.. .maybe there is another application that I don't have installed? -cjr-
[Huawei Watch] tsells:
Yes, the one with the heart. It does not constantly monitor your heartbeat. Just when you ask it to. Otherwise it would kill your battery.
[Huawei Watch] swngdncr:
Ok, well that actually does not address the issue I am raising. The HRM should be able to continuously monitor your heart rate without freezing and giving you a static heart rate for the entire duration of your work out. Google Fit is supposed to do this. But, either because of the watch or the application, it is not recording any heart rate data during workouts. Zippo, none, nada... Not how it is supposed to work.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AirRazor013:
I have a sprint galaxy s5 (SM-G900P) and in my experience ODIN hasn't worked for flashing roms. Is there any way I can flash 4.4.2 using only twrp and an external sd?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Depends on how close to stock you are trying to get. If you just want the stock OS, then yes, that's easy enough. If you are trying to return to complete stock with recovery and all, then...sometimes. Some developers for some phones will put out a package like that, but typically most people just use Odin. If you don't see it in the "Development" forum for your variant, then it's probably not available. I root phones as a side job and work on all kinds from Moto, Sony, LG, Samsung, HTC, etc etc and I like Samsung's Odin the best as a flashing tool. What issues are you having with it? I have literally used it 100s (1000s?) of times and rarely have issues that aren't from driver problems or user error (picking the wrong firmware version to reload).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trent1163:
technically yes

I have a galaxy tab 4 7" (sm-t230nu) and after I used odin all it did was put the custom twrp recovery then I booted to that recovery and went to the reboot menu then it detected I wasn't rooted and rooted it so as long as you can get the custom recovery menu to open you could and try mobile odin app

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandrinopi:
Which audio format are you using?

I have several files I use for ringtone and alarm; I simply put them into external SD and they all show up.

They are .mp3 and .wav files.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACardAttack:
They are mp3 and wma files, and none show up. Do you put them in a specific folder, or are you selecting "music" when you select alarm tone so you have to go through all music on your card?

I'm used to my old galaxy phone where I could put specific files into the notification folder and then those are right there when I go to select from tones.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchasa:
Tried phone memory folder, root/ringtones?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny Broccoli:
I use the same. Custom tones and ability for fade in of tones is clutch.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACardAttack:
Yep, my ringtones show up when I want to select a ringtone for the phone, but for alarm, nothing. I have tones in alarm, notification and ringtone, but nothing. I also tried searching for some of the default ringtones so if I could find if there was another location, but there was nothing. I guess I'll have to load them into my music folder and just select them from there.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandrinopi:
FYI, my custom alarm tones are in a custom folder named

/external_SD/media/audio

and they are .WAV and .MP3, but I am using the same SD card since the last three mobile phones therefore I suppose that the file location should not be an issue.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuman -WK-:
What worked, thanks to previous post above mine (lit the candle in my head)

Internal folder/switch/storage/emulated/0/alarms

(also, previous phone was encrypted, that might explain the emulated/0 folders)

The key was finding the "Switch" folder since I had switched from Sony, to Samsung, to finally LG.

I used the folder "search feature" to see details (path) of one of my other ringtones I had on my old phone that are still available.

I copied the new ringtones into the same folder, and it appeared.

Sorry to post in old post, but it was in top 10 results in Google, and the post that helped the most.

After a fresh rom wipe it was connecting awhile in gear manager and then one day led to two days and then three days to four days and so on no successful connection in gear manager...

I don't wanna have to custom recovery wipe my phone every time I want it to connect, I really wished they would've locked a connection to the watch and phone...

Not sure if it's cause of my custom kernel, kernel settings app.

Is there a way to lock in a connection, I noticed sometimes on my watch while trying to connect to gear manager if I stop it the watch says bluetooth lost or something along those lines of not connected.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Phil3759:
SM-N910F - Stock Kernel

Root Android 5.1.1​

We have here 2 kernel variants

Original Samsung SE enforced kernel, repacked with a patched sepolicy through SuperSU 2.50

Compiled from stock sources permissive kernel, with NTFS support

Why a custom kernel or a modified boot image will probably be needed to root ?

answered by the master: http://www.androidauthority.com/chainfire-rooting-android-lollipop-541458/

New selinux restrictions make it quiet hard for the su daemon to load at boot without exploiting some kernel vulnerabilities that google will patch asap any way.

It seems also that even if we only revert the selinux permissive/enforced toggle, set state to permissive at boot and then enforce security once SU daemon is loaded, many issues could still rise because of the new SE policies. Chainfire says himself that trying to do so will in any case need to drop even more the security level.

Furthermore, enabling toggling of selinux state is now more complicated since 5.0: enabling CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP in defconfig needs androidboot.selinux=permissive in board kernel cmdline. However, this won't be processed in user builds, but only in eng and userdebug builds. This means you cannot expect any such fixes to work on a stock ROM. We now must hardcode the kernel into always permissive mode

In permissive mode, it is impossible to use any KNOX protected features and system will triggers kernel modification alarms by security TIMA agent:

http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/support/skp/faq/1028007. That's why those services must be disabled.

Seems it is not Samsung to blame, but really Google.

Chainfire came with a new approach to avoid compiling the kernel and to be able to run in enforced mode: patching the sepolicy in ramdisk to allow root while still running a stock enforced kernel. This needs version 2.50+ of SuperSU, and won't support, currently, any other root application. This needs a complex procedure documented by Chainfire. It needs rooting the reference device under 4.4 - 5.0.1 enforced mode, patching the 5.1.1 sepolicy under that reference device and export the patched sepolicy to the 5.5.1 boot image of the device. The good part is that we only need to repack boot image with a changed sepolicy, without modifying anything else, mainly the kernel.

So, for now, and maybe also in near future, no other way to root will be possible except using a custom kernel in a selinux permissive state. Sure some vulnerabilities could be found and used, but will probably be patched by Google.

Seems it is not Samsung to blame, but really Google.
