[Nexus 6 Android Development] gerard_f:
I don't know, I don't have any problem editing build.prop.

Maybe a full wipe helps you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
That is strange-I did a factory reset after flashing M and then rooted-do I have to do a wipe after I root? Wouldn't that get rid of the root and su?

I just tried something and I did something really stupid-I was able to delete the build.prop but now I cannot paste a copy of it in the system folder-it says I don't have rights to do so-this is crazy-I have rights to delete it but not paste it??? I am screwed aren't I? I have to start over again...

It does for me.

not sure but I'm trying to flash the boot img in twrp recovery and it keep failing am I doing something wrong?

I'm actually using 2.52 with the old selinux permissive version.

Yeah the vibration intensity on Shamu is absolutely ridiculous. I need to grab a kernel with vibe control exposed. I can't hang much longer, hopefully Franco isn't sleeping until he pushes one.

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

You can't flash an .IMG in recovery, only flashable .ZIP files. You need to be in the bootloader and

fastboot flash boot boot.img

to install it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] streetracer8605:
Any one else notice a difference in battery life?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] funcrusher:
Yeah, I had to finally switch this morning. I wanted to stay essentially stock and not really mess with custom kernels this time around, but the vibration intensity is an issue for me - it's loud and it rattles at stock levels. [MENTION=1238148]gerar_f[/MENTION] said he'd consider adding the option in the future.

By the way, you can flash .img files in TWRP. Not exactly sure when they introduced the feature, but it's been around for a minute.

Unfortunately I knew about system tuner ui but it doesnt help. It says there its enabled but never shows up in the quicksettings
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fury683:
Have you turned it on do not disturb mode recently? I noticed that even with Hotspot set as a quick toggle in ui tuner, it still went away from my tiles. I went to settings and turned it on from there, it showed up.

It seems like whatever it did in L to intelligently show icons you use most is still there, even with ui tuner on.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] matrixx1:
No matter whati do it doesnt show up. And in my system ui tuner it isnt called do dont disturbe but silent. Its funny

Mounting /system does not work for me!

I set se linux to permissive, and then I mount as rw.

It's really painful having to go through recovery each time I want to modify something in the /system.

Thanks! And thanks for the kernel anyways!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] heydabop:
All your commits in the repo appear to be headphones and KCAL related. I don't see any one concerning sepolicy or the boot verification.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gerard_f:
This is ramdisk related, not kernel, and you can extract it from the boot.img.

For boot verification you need to erase "verity" flag on /system in fstab.shamu.

For the sepolicy file I taked the file modified by chainfire, I don't touched anything of this, ask him for sources.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] throcker:
Ok guys, Google just showed us Nexus 6P which has our same SoC (rev 2.1 also) and I was wondering about how this could affect our development section.

Do anyone experienced know if we can probably get same experience (or maybe better, 1080p screen....less effort) using aosp code from N6P? aosp based rom I mean....

or if will be extremely easy to get aosp working, like very quickly, on our phone....

not asking etas or requests, just thinking out loud
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] prank1:
Hi

I have been on this forum for awhile since I got my first PDA (XDA II) about 2 years ago but only a few months ago did I register when I got tired of waiting for other people to ask questions for the answers that I wanted.

Now I have an XDA Orbit, and all of these new terms are popping up... such as USPL, CID, etc.

Because I took a long break from the forums I need to catch up with everything, and thats very difficult since its hard to make out what people are talking about and referring to when talking on the forums. I can't really comprehend what people are saying because they are talking about things that I dont know (lol). I have looked through the wiki and it doesnt explain everything, and the acronyms section doesnt contain much.

Although the WiKi is a fantastic place where people can share their ideas as a community, I was hoping that someone could maybe upload a guide such as a text file explaining everything, including terms, what certain things are used for, etc.

One thing that confuses me is that someone managed to get a leaked WM5 rom that 02 use to unbrick devices. From what I've heard dumped ROMs are exactly the same except they cannot bypass the bootloader.. could someone explain why this is? What would be the point of the dumped ROM if it cannot bypass the bootloader - surely you wouldn't be able to flash the ROM?

This is just one of many questions I have - but by having everything explained I hope to work out answers for myself using the knowledge gained from learning all these technical terms.

Thanks for your time.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Pjtheman:
Well, as much as I know...

CID = Country ID and is used to 'lock' the device to a certain country/vendor id so that any other ROM downloaded to the device would render it useless, sometimes this screws up the bootloader and 'bricks' the device... much like a sim-lock with other carriers, but more serious.

USPL = A program used to circumvent the CID lock by providing a temporary SuperCID, so that other ROMs can be flashed without the aforementioned bricking. It has to be flashed to the device before any 'exterior' ROM download.

These terms have all probably come about after the release of B&B4 ROM by tom coden, which I must say is brill!

Hope this helps,

Pete
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] prank1:
Thanks for the info, CID locks I assume are being put on newer PDAs since the XDA II or XDA IIs didnt have these measures?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Pjtheman:
I would guess so, although I haven't added cooked ROMs to any other device as yet...
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] prank1:
Sorry to scrutinise every answer (lol) but does 'cooked' mean that the extended ROM has been edited? or is that baked ROM?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Pjtheman:
Not being the expert on this I assume a cooked ROM to be one that has been put together, more likely meaning one that is not from the original vendor.

E.g. HTC cooked a ROM in the first place, then O2 edited it and cooked their own etc...

Anyone? Am I right?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] M3PH:
well from how i have seen it used over the last few days since i joined, i was assuming "cooked" meant hand made or modified by someone other than the device vendor/manufacturer/Microsoft
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Pjtheman:
Yeah pretty much!
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] abcdabcd1:
Come on everyone to organize wiki

I agree that it is very hard to get into this... I have been studying for hours these late days...

I just read the 2 necessary steps for begginers:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FAQ

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueAngel_For_Beginners

I strongly recommend them!

back to the wiki... I think that we should be writting more there and try to be more organized and cross-linked.

Some kind of tree structure would help a lot.

Besides some topics (like the one for BA above) should be generalized to give basic ideas for all devices.

I am quite new to wikis but I feel that we should exploit/collaborate more this resource.

Regards.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] prank1:
Thanks for those links, they are very helpful! I managed to get a read of a few useful links aswell - they were in the Himalaya section...

Also, does anyone know how I can get rid of the notification that displays your balance after making/receiving a call?

e.g. Receive a call, talk or whatever, close the call, then the message: 'Your Balance Is £283.39' (lol just an example im not really that rich hehe) comes up. I was thinking I would have to tweak the registry to remove that..it must autodial the number that displays balance automatically after making a call.

Thanks

Sonny this tomorrow annonced the liste for xperia who have update to marshmallow and there is no marshmallow for xperia z and z 1 :(
[Xperia Z General] Rumman Shaikh:
I'm sure many here will not see this as a "bad bad bad news". Having an official lollipop firmware in a 2.5 old device is more than anyone could ask for. Having a solid 5.1.1 build is better than having the latest build.

More than happy with the support from SONY,and more than enough to stay on the ship :D
[Xperia Z General] znayver:
This is a bad news bcz there are many people have a( locked bootloared allowed no) so there is no custum rom based at cyanogenmod or any other custom rom :( ...there are just custom rom based at stock rom..so in the futur for the bootloared allowed no there are no update no officiel or any custom
[Xperia Z General] lee480:
So you expected lifetime android upgrades? Dream on.
[Xperia Z General] znayver:
So this is the end for xperia z/z1 who have bootloader allowed no
[Xperia Z General] lee480:
Unfortunately yes.
[Xperia Z General] gerickjohn:
I agreed. They won me over with the final build being one of the best I've had. :good:
[Xperia Z General] znayver:
So sonny should give as a solution to pass from bootloader allowed no to allowed yes for installing the custum rom :crying:
[Xperia Z General] AasimAmor:
Bad news for us....but it waz expected.:(

Cherish to sony for long support to our old device.Better than other OEMs.

Yea 5.1.1 was the best build i agree. :D

But i hope(i know they will) our rom devs will port android 6.0 from other xperia devices getting dat version.Kudos to sony and our rom devs.:good::good:
[Xperia Z General] znayver:
I agree with you :) i hope our best dev make a stock rom for z and z1 based at android 6.0 for LB and UB
[Xperia Z General] edi194:
Creating Android M for LBL is not possible bcoz it'll need custom kernel. I think our devs'll give some test builds on next 1-2 weeks, AOSP code'll be published in 2-3 days ;)
[Xperia Z General] kael2404:
Hope Sony will fix stagefright bugs on Z...
[Xperia Z General] znayver:

[Xperia Z General] znayver:
Hi i think the list of device its not the latest i think sonny will added z/z1/z compact so sonny dont tell anything and he dont tell that she abandonned z/z1 i think the list will be modified this week hope that my think is right :)

[Xperia Z General] CosmicDan:
I'm not surprised. It's fantastic that we even got 5.1, the Z is so old now. All good things come to an end :)

But what I am wondering, if someone will port 6.0 AOSP... Not CyanogenMod or other forks, they are always unstable and breaking things. And will take a long time anyway.

[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
I'm very happy with the updates we have had and hope that I get 2.5 years of updates on my Z5 most people would have upgraded by now anyway however if I didn't have a phone I would happily purchase the XZ. It's been a damm good phone even with a locked bootloader.
[Xperia Z General] Pyramid Head:
most likely we will get the launcher and some other system apps updates. BTW Dirty Unicorns will propably be the first to release 6.0 and i am sure it will be stable

---------- Post added at 17:22 ---------- Previous post was at 17:18 ----------

the bootloader is directly connected to the TA Partition and every phone has a unique one so its impossible to change from yes to no
[Xperia Z General] mohdsubaie:
Chasmodo has already said that he wont support marshmallow on Dirtyunicorn for Xperia Z.

If people were expecting Sony to support Xperia Z for as long as they own the device then they were dreaming.

We have a stable 5.1.1 be happy. The device is more than 2.5 years old....
[Xperia Z General] Pyramid Head:
indeed but he said that if anyone wants to step in he/she is more that welcomed
[Xperia Z General] CosmicDan:
Well I would take a crack myself at compiling, I have done it before and it's not very difficult; no need for pessimism we had a fully stable Lollipop AOSP even before official Lollipop thanks to pabx - but he is much more skilled than I am. The main issue would be getting the Lollipop blobs working.

We are not complaining or demanding, we are just discussing the possibility. This is what XDA is about.

That's a bit sad that DU won't be supported, because yeah it was the most stable AOSP fork I used apart from Tesla (which has been abandoned already). I don't think I will have time to experiment myself, its a lot of work. But still very possible.

[Xperia Z General] Olivier:
Our chipset is "old" now, it was nice of Sony to even provide us with a 5.1.1 update.

As for custom ROMs: Why not? The only thing that makes me (and other devs) lose interest in maintaining this device is the community. I mean, what's the reasoning behind this pointless thread? Why do users have to bug devs with new Android versions just because some Nexus devices already have them? And why do they make wrong assumptions because the maintainers don't provide them with half-baked builds right after the release, just to complain about loads of bugs afterwards? Is this really what you want?
[Xperia Z General] Akinaro:
Because most of people think that Android work like windows or linux. you just need few drivers and TADA! everything works. New system on old hardware.

And to be honest that how it should be.

Android in current state is going down, it just cant evolve and replace anything because its actually really bad idea of system that currently is just filled with botox and it jump with fancy clothes of Material Design.

For now Android is just system for media & internet consumption.

You actually cant work with it as a full time device. I tired it, two times. No PC, just my phone and sometimes iPad. You can make some work, but its annoying and slow compared to normal systems. And Im mean WORK. But system and apps are made just like old java ones back from SE and Nokia era(Im only one remember that?) but just in bigger screen.

Windows Conitnuum, and old Ubuntu idea is way that every current mobile system should go.

Making this huge power resources to run as they should when needed. plug screen and keyboards and you have full system with advanced apps, and when you unplug it. the same data and smaller apps to watch it and make small fixes

Because for now, only reason why Phones have more and more power is because they need it to run system is self smooth and to hide lack of optimization of apps. You can say that its mor complicated, but this s how it is now, and its main reason for that. Apps have the same features as 5years ago, just with few fancy addons... nothing more.

To be honest Xperia Z have probably more RAW power that my old netbook with first Atom and 1GB of ram, AND STILL this old netbook can run butter smooth windows10 and I can even play games like half life 2 on it without a frame drop. Try this with Android Marshmallow and Eg, galaxy i5700... because this netbook is almost old as Spica.

But not on Android, with every version we have "updates" and "new features" and still no one think about starting to move, stagnation it its finest. No one care because money are coming. And we buy it.

And no you dont need to replay to my post, its just my OffTopic opinion.
[Xperia Z General] Olivier:
My point wasn't the compability, the reason why devices are dropped by OEMs has already been pointed out by Tommy. Besides, older devices require more efforts and have a smaller userbase.

If you want to keep your really really old devices alive, try Firefox OS/B2G or something else. It is said to be faster, given it doesn't have the Java bloat.

There are no binaries for Z, its a mistake. Only Z Ultra.

But why do they put out binaries for the Z Ultra, if not official? Because it's easy and (basically) free for them to recompile binaries I guess, but not free to rebrand with overlays, certify, test and provide support.

@Oliver, sorry to not be an arse kisser, but I don't recall anybody making demands of anybody. People can be ignorant or maybe rude, sure, but to say this thread is pointless and insinuate that it's insulting just sounds like elitism to me.

I get it though, you're embittered by the attitude of the community, and XDA is a joke of a site considering its objective (most people here know nothing and are unwilling to even try to learn). It's cool if you want to move on, none of us can stop you, but it saddens me that you feel the need to lash out at all of us as you do so.

As for everyone else, you need to get over it - the Z is a dead device, be happy that it lasted this long. You should *never* expect a hobbyist developer to do what you want. It's not their job, they owe you nothing, they do it if they want to themselves - and we should be grateful if/when they do share their work.

Sent from Xperia Z via Tapatalk
[Xperia Z General] Olivier:
It's simple: Those binaries are for Sony AOSP (supported are Xperia Z1+/Z ultra and newer), as there are some (proprietary) bits of the ROM which apparently can't be built from source.

I think you still don't get it, this is not about demands, elitism or whatever - I do this because I own the device and don't what our device "to die". What makes me furious are wrong assumptions based on unrelated statements. I asked the users why they can't appreciate the fact that the Sony Xperia Z got pretty much everything from 4.1 to 5.1 from Sony. After this post, you assumed I'm not "interested either" (on a side note, you have misspelled my name two times).

[Xperia Z General] Kevinjoa:
Don't you guys have a life or what!?

First Xperia Z isn't Optimus G, devs also have real life and can decide to bringup roms whenever they want. I can tell you that if someone would be so interested in it and has some little skills that there would be a rom (with bugs), some cool devs rather chill their life and let things settle (sourcewise) and make the rom then., because it will be less time consuming and less buggy.

If you can't wait or do the rom yourself then go to kindergarden again.
