Sadly they don't, it seems like the write-speed decrease is just on the same level as the N6 back then. Let's hope that they include the bibs in the kernel by the marshmellow update.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaps:
Why would they use Qualcomms own crappy crypto engine, if the standard Cortex-A57 is really fast with AES thanks to NEON and possibly additional, newer optimizations/instructions? AFAIK the latter are supported in newer Linux kernels per default, so there's no need to use additional libraries to enable support or the Qualcomm crypto stuff.

But it would be nice, if someone with actual insight and detailed knowledge about this could say a few words for clarification.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotnspicyjohnny:
Neither i got insight nor big knowledge, but i benchmarked the system and like 60% loss in reading speed doesn't feels like a optimized kernel either :/
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
Qualcomm is a no go. On android plaform, only Exynos 7420(not sure about 5xxx series) real get used h/w encry and decry engine and no speed down.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaps:
That's not only off topic, it's also wrong. The Exynos SoCs don't have a substantially different crypto engine or "better"/"faster" crypto/hashing acceleration via the ARM cores. If anything, the Samsung guys are smart enough to optimize their software so it makes use of the good hardware. This seems to be missing here, but for no obvious reason.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
I agreed all ARMv8-A cpu support hardware AES and SHA. Both Exynos 7420 and S810 should also got that ability but it turns out doesn't work on Z5c now which is a fact. I'm sure S6 got it working but not sure about on other S810 phones or might be Qualcomm missing driver support.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaps:
Please show us the kernel source code proving that fact.

What you call "fact" is the result of a simple before and after comparison done with a flash memory benchmark app run by one person on one device. To draw the conclusion that the only reason for the shown result is that the Z5(c) can't do HW acceleration of AES or SHA is a bit far-fetched, don't you think?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
I've got a S6 and no slower after encry/decry and we had a thread discussing about it on S6 board.

I don't own a Z5c now bcoz my living place HK not yet started to sell it(I come to here bcoz considering to sell my S6 and Z1c and swap to Z5c later) so I can't test it but according to OP, there is a substantial slow down.

All ARMv8-A should support hardware AES/SHA, it is not just a cached benchmark result on S6. That's real.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Walter_White:
A few things to ponder...

This is confusing. I was always under the impression that decryption (reads) are usually a tad bit faster then encryption writes. This at least seems true for TrueCrypt benchmarks. But that may be comparing apples and oranges.

A few thoughts...

In some other thread it was mentioned that the Z5C optimizes RAM usage by doing internal on the fly compression / decompression to make very efficient usage of the RAM. As cryptotext usually is incompressible could this be a source of the slowdown on flash R/W. Could this be a source of the problem (either by actual slowdown or confusing the measurement of the benchmarking tool?)

These days the SSD flash controllers also do transparent compression of data before writing to reduce wear on the flash. If you send a huge ASCII plaintext file into the write queue the write speed will be ridiculously high, if you send incompressible data like video the write speed rate goes way down. This happens on hardware level, not taking any cryptop/decrypto operations on the OS level into account.

Is there maybe a similar function in todays smartphone flash controllers?

Can I ask the OP, in what situations do you notice the slower read rate on the crypted device? Not so long ago when spinning rust disks were still the norm in desktop and laptop computers read rates of 120 MB were totally out of reach. What kind of usage do you have on your smartphone that you actually notice the lag? Is it when loading huge games or PDF files or something similar?

Dears XDA Developers Members ,

I purchased a new Infinix Hot 2 Pro, i always wanted to have a device with a pure Android to play with so i found it to get an Android One Device for 115 USD (900EGP).

The device is available online throw Jumia Egypt , Almost all Infinix models are available online only and not that much at stores. Shipped and delivered in 3 days only which is very good because there is a huge demand for this device.

There are a 2 versions of this device , one with 1GB RAM wasn't branded with Android One Logo and it costs 95 USD so for extra 10 USD you get 1GB RAM , Infinix provided the users with a guide to update it to Stock Android but the 2GB RAM model is branded as Android One and running 5.1.1 out of the box.

Let's start with the unboxing and have a look for the latest member of Android One program family.

Jumia Egypt Package

Jumia Egypt Box which contain the mobile for a safe delivery

Inside the box the X510 box

As you can see the box is branded with Android One Logo

Bigger Android One logo at the side of the box

Main device specifications

Android One Program disclaimer and 2 Years support of updates directly from Google which is very nice if it's true :)

Importer Name and Info

Packing overall was good with a good quality box

Here is the first Look at the phone

Infinx Logo and Hot Logo along with Android One at the back of the device

At the right side the Power and Volume Buttons

At the bottom you can find the speaker which is good, so the speaker is always will be loud whatever you put it on a desk or bed

The 3.5m Audio and USB/Charge Port at the top

Micro SD Card Slot and 2 SIM Slots , i added a 32GB Micro SD Card and works just fine with no problems

Accessories comes i a mini separated boxes

Charger

2200mAh Battery

USB Cable, Headphones, Catalogs and Warranty Certificate

Full Package

Front camera and sensors , in between of them a notification LED

Build quality overall is great , you can't feel that it's a cheap phone , looks very nice and easy to handle, feels snappy and works just fine so far

In the next post i will add a screenshots from inside the device with CPUZ info and Antutu Benchmark

I'm getting the 2GB version for Indonesia. looking forward to root and install custom recovery...hopefully custom roms are developed soon. thanks for making the thread!
[Infinix HOT 2] faissl:
perfect review, I was intended to get one myself from Jumia Egypt, I'm a content Souq client who never dealt with Jumia before but it's 1199 EGP on Souq! so it worth trying them..

I was also thinking about sensors, I'm surprised that such an impressive phone doesn't have a magnetic sensor (is it the gyro thing or was it something else?) I'm concerned about this very sensor for Google maps and praying compass..

you have my thanks :)

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pixelguy:
So my WiFi is down this week and I thought that's no problem, I'll just plug my s6 edge into the TV using the USB cable and stream media from my data plan... But my TV does not recognise the device as a media device?

So I read into it and Samsung have REMOVED MHL capability from all of its newer 2015 devices???? Why would they do this?

This basically means without a WiFi connection the phone cannot be used to stream media (other than Bluetooth music) to any other devices and also means our devices are incompatible with app car radios :good:

What are we suppose to do?

This is literally my only complaint on this phone so far and could very well be an easy fix. Looked around and couldn't find any posts on this.

I upgraded from an S4 to the MXPE. Since the upgrade my Metadata for Google music no longer transfers to my head unit (Sony XAV602BT) in my vehicle. Not all that big of a deal because the controls still work fine off the head unit. But, cmon, who wants to look at a blank radio screen? Least gimme the songs title or a damn album art.

Looking for any ideas or thoughts to get this working.

Hi guys,

Do you have any issues of screen freezing in you yuphoria. Sometimes when we turn the screen on from standby, it takes 3-4 seconds for the screen to turn on. It can be solved by just rebooting the phone and after two days the issue occurs again. I think its som cache issue or something like that.. Many of the yuphoria users are having the same issue.. Do anyone have any solution for this ??

Hi

I'm quite fond of the Phone Pad (all though the layout could be better). I would also be happy with the sound feedback, if it wasn't for the use of the dull Windows default sound. Is there anyway I can change the sound for the Pad? (Without altering the Windows default sound).

Hi everyone,

tonight I was trying to install the Stagefright OTA using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/xt1053-222-27-5-stagefright-ota-update-t3210786

The only thing I got was an android with a red triangle on it. So I went back, did a total phone reset, reinstalled the TWRP (fastboot flash twrp.img) and restored my backup. Sadly, the phone keeps rebooting to the TWRP as if there's nothing on it except the TWRP.

I've got the eu model and I can't find any factory image (or image in general) to flash on the device.

EDIT:

I manage to get something to work by simply boot via the "BT Tools" fastboot menu voice.

I don't exactly know why, but this way I manage to boot on a clean Android install and then restore my TWRP backup.

There's just a little problem: if I boot normally the system goes straight to the TWRP and won't boot.

I always need to go in the fastboot menu and select "BT Tools".
[Moto X General] jco23:
i was going through a similar reboot process last night. I realized that my issue was that I had xposed installed and had to uninstall it. however, I realized that after I wiped internal storage.

thus, my solution was to wipe everything (cache, dalvik, data, & internal storage), then mfastboot the stock ROM, then flash TWRP, then restore nandroid.

however, make sure to copy your nandroid to your computer first - you can transfer it back to the phone after flashing TWRP. you may have to perform a small nandroid via TWRP just to setup the right folder names, but you can still transfer the nandroid folder to your phone while the phone is in recovery.

hope this helps.
[Moto X General] edmael:
First of all, thanks for your reply.

Any hint on why this is happening?
[Moto X General] jco23:
you could be missing this line: mfastboot getvar max-download-size

I used the guide here: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/xt1060-lollipop-5-1-ota-fxz-thread-t3139519

granted, you appear to have a different model than mine, but the process should be the same.
[Moto X General] edmael:
Yes, I skipped that line and removed it from the .xml of the images I flashed because I found some guides that suggested it.

Now I'm really tempted to re-flash everything using that command first.
[Moto X General] mastarifla:
All removing that line does is prevent the system partition from error-ing out during the flashing process, which is why it's suggested to remove the line if you are using RSD-Lite to flash an image
[Moto X General] edmael:
I flashed it using the -P option so I guess it's just the same as using that line, right?

Also: the removal of that line was not only in your guide so I immediatly deleted it ;)
[Moto X General] mastarifla:
Flashing with mfastboot with the -P option is the same, you can verify the option exists by just typing in mfastboot in the command line, it will show you all the commands and what they do :)

I didn't want to have people dependent on using RSD-Lite (or any particular program) to flash the System Image, as it then makes a Windows machine the only thing possible to flash this image plus it uses Internal Moto Only software (legal issues), so I tried to find a better way to make mfastboot work properly for all types of computers
[Moto X General] jco23:
another thing I have noticed is that my phone kept getting stuck on the boot image screen (failed to proceed to the boot animation screen). to resolve this, I made sure to flash SU via TWRP after flashing my ROM via TWRP (or restoring a nandroid).
[Moto X General] edmael:
I really appreciated that (proud Linux User here), I tried mfastboot on Linux and even RSD-Lite on my Windows machine, but both of them failed to get my phone working with the files you provided in the other thread.

Now I'm stuck with this problem: every boot I need to select BT Tools and wait some minutes for my phone to boot.

I still don't get why it only boot in TWRP and I still don't get how to fix this :D
[Moto X General] jco23:
you may need to wipe internal storage and mfastboot everything from scratch...
[Moto X General] edmael:
Already did that (the first time I didn't even tried booting with BT Tools, but the effects were the same), but nothing new happened.
[Moto X General] mastarifla:
Have you tried flashing the TWRP System Backup that I provided? It may fix the issue that you are seeing currently
[Moto X General] edmael:
Yes, tried, but nothing happens (except that it boots when I go into BT Tools).

I think there's something wrong with my partition scheme because it always go straight to TWRP.

If I were on a GNU/Linux distro I'd check the grub config because it seems it boot from the wrong partition, but on Android I don't know if/how that's possible.
[Moto X General] jco23:
does it boot up when you flash the stock recovery? perhaps you may need to let it boot up first before installing TWRP?

did you happend to type "mfastboot flash

boot

twrp.img"? that could be the issue, as the command should be "mfastboot flash

recovery

twrp.img, right?

sorry I can't be more helpful, as I'm sure this is frustrating for you. just trying to grasp at straws here....
[Moto X General] edmael:
Don't be sorry, you're helping me!

Also: I'm not much frustrated since I have a working phone right now, I just need do avoid rebooting it :D

I tried to flash the stock recovery (found here: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/official-collection-firmwares-fxz-sbf-t3146628, used this: XT1052_GHOST_RETEU_5.1_LPA23.12-15_cid7_CFC.xml.zip) but if I'm not wrong (did that yesterday in the late night) it just booted to the Android with the red triangle on it (so, no booting for me).

EDIT:

No, I don't think I did that. But let's suppose I did, how can I revert it?

Also: is there a way to see my partition scheme so I'm sure everything's fine?
[Moto X General] mastarifla:
You can revert it by taking the boot.img from the 5.1 zip and flashing that using the command...

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

The partitioning you are mentioning is probably the gpt.bin, but that is typically done near the very beginning of the flashing process
[Moto X General] jco23:
here's what I would do:

boot into recovery

connect phone to PC, copy your nandroid and any other files from the SDcard to your PC

within recovery, wipe cache/dalvik/data/internal storage

reboot to bootloader

run the mfastboot commands as shown (but use the getvar-download....) in place of editing the xml zip file

after running the mfastboot commands, let the phone boot up to stock and establish itself

reboot to bootloader and flash TWRP

again, just a suggestion on what I would do - seems like [MENTION=3015269]mastarifla[/MENTION] is a great resource and is more knowledgeable than me, so maybe you'll get some confirmation.

good luck!
[Moto X General] edmael:
Ok, I still haven't solved this issue.

I tried with re-flashing everything, but I still get the problem.

I think it's a problem with the partition scheme because even by flashing just partition gpt.bin and motoboot.img when I launch reboot-bootloader it reboot the phone into TWRP.

I think the TWRP is in the wrong partition and/or I've got a wrong partition scheme, but I don't know how to check it or how to fix it.
[Moto X General] mastarifla:
So your phone thinks that the bootloader is your recovery?

That is actually pretty strange, you could take a look at the Linux kernel on Motorola's GitHub and see if it has any info on the partitioning structure or what happens when a reboot-bootloader command is sent to the phone

It sounds as if the recovery and the bootloader swapped places, as the fastboot menu is considered a part of the bootloader, and if you are not seeing that on the hardware key bootup, then there is something definitely wrong, if you do reboot-recovery does it take you to the bootloader/fastboot menu?
[Moto X General] edmael:
Thanks a lot for your answer.

I managed to solve the issue just a couple of hours ago by flashing the partition scheme from your thread (the one about the Stagefright upgrade), restoring the backup I made when everything was working almost fine and then flashing the stock motorola rom from another thread.

So, thanks a lot, I solved ;)
