Notifications and Videos/Audio

Hi all,

I created a user specifically for this question. I'm about to lose my pacience with Android 5.1

Every time i want to watch a video or play music, I have to remember to put my phone on vibrate or priority so that the audio does not get cut off whenever I get a message/text/e-mail/etc (which prompts a notification).

This has been a "feature" of Android Lollipop since its inception, and I've despised it forever and I find it completely non-sensical, since android 4.4.4 and before handled this perfectly: you are watching the video, the notification sounds OVER/at the same volume of the sound you are hearing, but

without lowering

the music/video audio.

Questions are:

1) Is there a way around this crap within Android 5.1? It simply drives me insane that Google could be so idiotic as to force this upon all users without a proper option to keep both things on

2) Would upgrading to Marshmellow solve this? I have refrained from doing so since I prefer to wait at least until the first small update (6.01 lets say) for bug fixes and mess ups by Motorola/Google

Thanks a lot.

Cheers.

The Moto X Play gets hot when playing the Best Fiends game. Root is available. Is it possible to set lower max CPU frequency when the game is started, or if the temperature is higher than some level?

I mean, some possibility without cost, as SetCPU probably could help ;). Llama has the trigger that some app is started, but can not influence cpufreq.

Any ideas/easy solution?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KushagraJ:
You could try changing the CPU governor and the CPU max/min frequency using Kernel Adiutor from the Play Store or maybe System Tuner also from the Play Store. You'll have to experiment with various frequencies to strike a balance between the performance and heat dissipation. You'll have to allow it root access though.

Ok I think Ive solved it.What I did was I removed the sdcard and copied everything over to a pc.Then I formatted the card and reinserted it.Android detected it and asked how I wanted it formatted.I chose use as external storage as im not sure about the seccond option.I then connected my phone to the pc and copied everything back over.To test it I connected to another pc and I could access/modify/delete anything at will.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avik735:
My Moto X Play just arrived. It's a beautiful device. I will probably root, because all my apps and data are backed up in my previous device (Xperia ZR) using Titanium. Since rooting on LP 5.1.1 or newer requires unlocking bootloader, I have a little concern. I have the following questions -

1. In Xperia, it was possible to make a pre-rooted stock rom and flash via Flashtool. Is something like that possible for Moto X Play that doesn't involve bootloader unlock?

2. If I unlock bootloader and void warranty, will Motorola provide me service at all (paid service, in case of hardware malfunction or physical damage)?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KushagraJ:
1. Without unlocking bootloader, you won't be able to do anything except just flash the official stock ROM. A locked bootloader is confined to booting only digitally signed versions of the stock ROM. The unlocked bootloader however boots (or atleast tries) whatever is bootable. But it does void the warranty. Any modifications you make to a stock ROM renders it as custom. And custom software isn't flashed in a locked bootloader state (unless ofcourse it is digitally signed by Motorola itself).

2. Yes, Motorola should offer support for internal hardware damages like changing a burnt IC or something. But obviously, they WILL charge you if they see an unlocked bootloader and/or custom ROM flashed.

Hope it helped. ;)

Note: Factory Reset your X Play once you update it because a lot of lags and battery drain are experienced otherwise.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch3mn3y:
Not sure if You found info about it.

Xposed it modification which works "above" applications so it can modify apps without modifying them (nor code is edited, but things are changed).

Gravitybox is module which use Xposed to modify system (AOSP) apps (so it may not fully work on nonAOSP systems).

To root You need unlock bootloader (voids warranty), flash recovery and than flash .zip with root through it.

This may sound love me a dumb question but I have been doing the custom ROM thing for awhile now but what I'd the difference from flashing with twrp or flasking with recovery , I always go to twrp and do a nanodriod backup then wipe and factory reset then install and find ROM /gapp and install them.

No its fine.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
Twrp is a recovery. It's just the name of that particular one.

The stock ROM has a recovery we normally call the android system recovery. That must be what people are referring to when updating roms.

I just flasked the new RR build for the xt1563... Can I flash squids kernal or ultra. Or am I aloud to ask that on here .. Very noob for for forms
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KushagraJ:
Clean flash means when you factory reset your phone by triggering

fastboot erase userdata

While flashing a ROM. Meanwhile, if you skip this command, it's referred to as a dirty flash.

A clean flash is recommended always while flashing a ROM while a dirty flash is done mainly to preserve user data or while reflashing the ROM currently in the device (which developed errors due to user modifications, root etc.)
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaksfrost:
I don't install with fastboot I install with twrp . so does that mean I just dirty falsh... And do I have to do this command with the PC or can I do it in twrp
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
Dirty flash is when you wipe dalvik, cache and nothing else. You only do that when flashing a different build of the same rom on the same android version.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaksfrost:
OK so in twrp I

Take nanodroid

Wipe/data/davlik/system/cache

Insta ROM and gapps

Reboot and let load

Those the right steps in twrp for a clean flash

And after that I boot back into recovery

Install ultra kernel or squids etc

Wipe dalvik / cache

Reboot
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
Thats right :good:

But you don't need to wipe the caches to flash kernels.

If you dont know what fastboot is I suggest you read this. You need to know this stuff before you mess with your phone. Dont use toolkits because you have no idea what they're doing to your phone. And if something goes wrong then you might have to use fastboot to fix it.

What would be the benefits of having a 64 bit processor with a 32 bit OS in x play?

Sorry if the question is nooby!
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tag68:
The 32 bit is smaller in memory footprint. As the MXP has only 2 GB internal memory which is not very much these days, 32 Bit has some advantage.

With 64 bit OS some command exist which perform better. Usually there is a speed gain of about 15-20% (see for instance this PDF). If you do not have any problem with the memory.

While some weeks ago I thought it was wise by Motorola to use the 32 Bit Version, I am convinced in the meantime (after discussion in a German Android forum) that 64 Bit would have been a slightly better choice.

Hey all,

So I've found that I can successfully create backups and they appear within the TWRP recovery Backup feature but when I plug my X Play in as a USB device and open the TWRP folder on the SD Card, nothing appears in that folder. Even when I try to explore it from within Android Storage there is nothing.

I've been trying to root my device for a while, and I had it setup on 5.11 good but 6.0 has been proven much more difficult. Any help with rooting would be greatly appreciated.

For starters, Internal Storage doesn't show up so I can't access my phone through explorer, I've been pushing files with windroid, dunno if it was 6.0's doing or not cause it worked for me on 5.11

Now I first begin by reformating with a .bat and fastboot using retca 5.11 firmware because 6.0 hasn't worked good yet.

After that I set up my device and turn USB Debugging on, paste supersu.zip and squid kernel and update the firmware to 6.0

after update I 'fastboot boot twrp.img' install squid kernel, reboot system to see if it works, then go back to twrp, install supersu and it never works
