[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] arshavin69:
Since google's nexus phones lack sdcard slots, this feature was probably introduced keeping android one series phones

in mind, however there is so much confusion regarding it's objective at the moment,for it is only partial implementation of sdcard as internal memory. After updates I am aleardy down to 500mb space on internal storage, the point is if despite using sdcard as internal storage if my original storage space still runs out--what purpose does it serve then? I would have used link2sd otherwise,but this feature put me like many others in dilemma.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] psiknight99:
Yeah mate, really disappointing..
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] ocizer:
I have the exact same problem

What was google thinking before releasing this half finished feature

I hope there is an update soon to fix this problem
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] abhijitkadam03:
Some apps disappear after reboot

After moving apps to sd, apps like mxplayer, Microsoft word etc just disappear.

They are automatically uninstalled.

Can anyone confirm this??

Also it would be great if someone finds a workaround these problems
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] psiknight99:
Yup Firefox disappears everytime I install it. So do many other apps..
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] abhijitkadam03:
This is so not cool man.

Whats the use of this feature if apps keep on disappearing

My observation is that the apps which directly get installed on SD card have these issues.

The apps that gets installed on internal first and then moved to SD, survives reboot.

Maybe app developers can make changes to their apps to support this functionality.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] psiknight99:
Clearly a half assed attempt from Google on this..I re-flashed my ROM and didn't chose the portable storage option. Link2sd doesn't work on Marshmallow yet so I'm just stuck with a typical 4GB internal memory crap phone.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] abhijitkadam03:
I hope that from here on this feature will only improve.

Lets pray that bugs will be fixed soon, and google doesn't scarps this project like other projects.

I am still using it as phone storage.. well something is better than nothing
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] arshavin69:
Make two partitions on your sd card, select portable storage option in Marshmallow, install apps2sd,it has all features of link2sd for free,I am using it myself.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] DarkAlvy:
same issue, app disappears or data gets lost or sometimes all apps start crashing untill reboot (when this happens cant modify/write anything on sd card, reboot fixes this though )
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] arshavin69:
Like I said before, simply use sdcard as portable(don't forget to make two partitions) and use apps2sd(it also has an inbuilt partitioning tool), this is by far the best setup as of now to overcome internal memory constraint

.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] DarkAlvy:
But i will have to root to do that right?
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] goose2600:
Hi [MENTION=4764045]arshavin69[/MENTION],

I am trying to use app2sd as you explained, but I am stuck on 2nd partition mounting.

I created 2 partitions by Minitool Partition Manager (because app2sd internal partition manager cause app force close): 1st partitition fat32, 2nd partition ext4.

Once booted up, I choose "portable" and then I open app2sd: app2sd say 2nd partition is not mounted and ask to remount or recreate mount script.

If I try to remount I get an error: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:66 on /data/sdext2 failed No such file or directory.

If I try to recreate the mount script, app2sd ask to choose sd card 2nd partition and file system type.

I am choose /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 and ext4 file system, then app2sd ask to reboot.

After rebooting app2sd says again that 2nd partition is not mounted and ask to remount or recreate mount script.

Could you please explain steb by step what I have to do?

Thank you!

SOLVED dismissing the notification when the phone ask to choose the sd card mount (portable).
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] arshavin69:
Of course!! You can't use even link2sd without root.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] Androidman720:
if your apps disappear after reboot, just transfer them to internal storage and it won't disappear after that
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] abhijitkadam03:
6.0.1 has made this feature unusable.

after updating to 6.0.1 most of the apps cant be moved to external sd.

internal storage gets filled with google apps

this really sucks
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] CSAkshay:
Exactly! This is the issue that I was facing.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nk.nikkhil:
Stable kernal for resurrection remix v5.5.6
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dondavis007:
I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed.

Having used an 810 phone before I somehow thought that the slowdowns of the M9 was a HTC thing but it's comical how identical the Z5c and M9 behaves when using the phone playing games etc. HTC fixed most of the problems with updates and my hope was that Sony should have learned by what other oems had done before releasing a not so very optimized base.

My first Z5z was a white one and the screen froze so I changed to a black one. A couple of days ago I noticed that pictures taken is really blurry in the left corner. The thing also slows down pretty bad after a while and the camera easy takes 5-6 seconds to start up if not already in memory, not an easy thing to do with only 2gb of ram and an unoptimized base.

The same goes for the phone app and first I thought that I had got another one with touch errors.

And... It's not a faulty phone, it's a good one out of the last batch. I noticed I've started to enjoy my G4 again, it have never felt so snappy and I can live the subpar battery.

Well let's put it in the box and wait for the next update.

I have to say that I'm a little worried about the Nexus 6P. Being a Nexus there will be great kernels and we can always redo the 810 to a 808 with a better gpu and far less constraints.

End of rant...

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
I'm not satisfied particularly with the camera.

Yeah, the free RAM is so poor. And the performance (which is REALLY ACEPTABLE) is lower than the Nexus 5 (with 5.1.1), probably because of the free RAM. (This could be fixed with a future update).

I consider that the "average camera" (according to some users) of the Nexus 5 is much better. Well, at least with photos took with a 15cm-25cm distance (HDR+ in the 5). There is a big difference in quality. (And I tried with Superior Auto / Manual / 20MP / 8MP / etc).

Best of the Z5 Compact: The battery life (It doubles my previous phone SoT over the whole day) and The fingerprint sensor. Rotation works really fast too. I didn't try the GPS but I tried to lock indoor pretty good

(In the contrary: My N5 GPS really sucks soo bad. I compared it with a Moto G 1st gen GPS last year and lost in every way).

The Z5C temps are so good compared to my Nexus 5 (never pass 50C while in the N5 I'm usually throttling the phone at 60C+, but don't forget it has a 2.3Ghz CPU it's easy to throttle that with intensive usage, touchboost, etc).

I'm expecting an OTA in the Z5 Compact. Our kernel is from the 2nd of September. I think I have 30 days to return it to Amazon. But so far I'll be coming back to the N5 and probably buying a 5X (and a hand enhancement "Deus Ex" style in order to be able to use it with one hand LoL).
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dondavis007:
I think the problem with throttling is that Sony tries to keep the phone to cool really. Playing a game will throttle within 10 minutes. The same game on G4 never goes into throttling, it's just the 810s that behave that way so far. The S6 also gets there, but it takes way longer and it will not be as notable.

Yes, an update or two is in order. I hope they will put camera, gallery and core apps in memory or at least give them way higher prio .

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
Yes I think there is a mayor preference over the lower 4 cores, to save temperature (more than battery life).

But I think the bad performance is generated by bad RAM management, there is no way this phone has only 600-700MB~ of Free RAM, sometimes just 400MB.

If you installed Android 5.0 with memory leaks (not 5.1.1) in the Nexus 5 (and your ram is reduced below 600-700MB after a few days or a few memory leaks reproductions) You would see a reduced performance in general.

The Z5 Compact should have more than 1GB or 1.1GB of Free RAM (in general) like the Nexus 5.

Not just 700 or less MB.

And here is the 2nd reason I think I'll come back to a Nexus: "I think there are a lot of Sony processes/libs/etc hidden under the carpet and consuming a LOT of RAM".

Regarding the kernel performance, I wouldn't worry about that. While it is something that can be fixed with a custom kernel, I think that Sony will tweak and optimize our kernel in future updates.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
Well just like i said go watch some IFA video's of the z5c and you will see it run good and without problems so this will all be fixable with updates.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dondavis007:
IFA was a while ago, you would think the most of those tweaks where already in the base, except the new camera. I've done to many resets on this phone and all is good until I download exactly the same apps I use on any phone. I'll think it's down to the memory lane and hopefully upcoming updates.

Skickat från min LG-H815 via Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
Yea and those IFA models where running on a lower fw build also so its weird that sony releases this kinda laggy update. But maybe they didn't want to put in much time into this update and rather put all their focus on the marshmellow update that should be out next month.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dondavis007:
Possible, I also imagine there was only a very few apps installed at IFA. Still a shame, a phone app taking well over 5 secs to open or the world's fastest focus in the slowest camera in the business. It's a bit of a catch 22 and I really don't think Sony can afford a low reputation at this point. For the premium money asked the ware should really be premium. Right now it's a rip off, my half price Chinese knockoffs is as good, but not water ? proof :)

Well i also have a few apps installed and it still is laggy but its to early to bash the phone when it doesn't had its first full update.. But if it never gets fixed this will be my last sony phone anyways.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mmm286:
Ok, many people say it fix when Sony update firmware but my question is why Sony release their flagships when these defects. They don't try their devices? They have hurry? Is not better have a good/finished mobile?

Enviado desde mi E5823 mediante Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dondavis007:
I don't talk it down, I just observe. I own a few flagships and none is perfect, but most are in better form when released. I didn't buy it to be my main phone but to have when travel, but I'm still a bit disappointed...

Written from my G4 because 1. I noticed that Z5c is very slow on my WiFi network and just don't have the energy to find out why. 2. I can't play the Hobbit on it because it starts to lag pretty bad after 10 minutes. And that's what I'm doing in my sofa right now :)

(and I'm pretty worried about Nexus 6P and SD 810, even knowing I'm not going to stay stock even 1 boot)

Skickat från min LG-H815 via Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
Why you worried bout the nexus 6p? 810 isn't the problem but some doesn't seem to get it in their thick plated skull. Even the new windows phone have the 810 and they run smooth also the nexus runs smooth so all this talk bout you getting worried is so full of crap.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dondavis007:
Man. I own two phones with 810 with the same problem. The windows phone has some sort of watercooling ?

[Karbonn Sparkle V] sziraqui:
OTA links are already there on xda, but here was no specific thread for sparkle v so i am writing one

Google has released the OTA files for sparkle v and other android one devices.

NOTE: To update your phone using OTA files your phone should be running Stock lollipop or atleast stock recovery

If you are running a custom rom or custom recovery then before proceeding to this guide you must revert back to stock lollipop using sp flash tool

Pre-requisites: 1.Your phone should be atleast 60% charged

2. Back up all important data (just to be safe)

3. Make sure you have the stock lollipop rom so that you can get your phone back if anything goes wrong.

GUIDE-

Sparkle V users can easily update their device by following these steps:

Step 1: Download the official Marshmallow OTA file from here https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota/google_sparklevsprout_sparklev/d1178816334e0c160d435ab0a88f78a5005053c0.signed-sprout-karbonn-ota-2280749-omit-oem.zip

Step 2: Connect your smartphone to computer using the original USB cable.

Step 3: Copy and paste the OTA zip files to phone's storage and make a note of its location.

Step 4: Boot your smartphone into recovery mode or stock recovery: Disconnect the phone from computer, and then turn it off.

Press and hold both the Volume and the Power buttons until the display turns on and enters bootloader mode.

Hit the volume button to open the Recovery menu and then press the power button to select it. Your phone should now boot into recovery mode.

At this moment, a dead Android with an exclamation mark should appear on the screen. Now press and hold Power button for three seconds and then hit the Volume up button once to progress into recovery mode.

Step 5: Return to the main recovery screen and choose 'install update from sdcard'.

Step 6: Then select the OTA zip file using the volume buttons for navigation and the Power button to select any file or open a folder. After you select the zip file, confirm its installation and the update should start installing on your device.

Step 7: Once the installation is done, return to main screen of recovery. Choose Reboot system now to restart the phone and boot into the newly installed Android 6.0 Marshmallow OTA update from Google.

Voila!! You are running official Android 6.0

I found this on ibtimes. I HAVE JUST COPY PASTED the guide for convenience. Hit thanks if helped.

[Xposed General] HKZync:
If you enable or update an Xposed module and get stuck in a boot-loop, your options are limited. You basically just have access to recovery. I got stuck in this situation and had trouble finding out how to disable Xposed via recovery.

To disable Xposed completely from recovery,

Boot into custom recovery

Go to File Manager (usually under Advanced)

Navigate to /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/modules.list

Delete modules.list

Reboot System

The deleted file simply controls which Xposed modules are loaded on startup. Deleting the file disables all Xposed modules.

After you reboot, all of your Xposed tweaks will be disabled. To re-enable Xposed modules, simply start up the Xposed Installer app. Then go to modules and make any change. This will re-create the modules.list file that you deleted in recovery.

There might be quite a lot of people who already know but this is for the benefit of those who don't know and end up wiping data and flashing everything from scratch.

Now, when I look in xposed, I cannot disable the modules (because they all say they need an updates XposedBridge). The checkboxes are disabled, so I cannot remove a specific module to test if that module was the culprit.

[Xposed General] Bright.Light:
Found this, am trying atm: https://xdaforums.com/xposed/xposed-modules-desactivator-t3372942

Hello,

In my case (LineageOS with Android Pie, edXposed) the modules.list was not there, so I used another approach:

With Magisk recovery module for twrp installed (thanks god) https://www.the***********.com/uninstall-magisk-modules-in-twrp-recovery-guide/

I disabled the xposed module, then rebooted the phone. Once inside, from Total commander I'd made a search for 'modules.list', then I found it in another folder (/sbin/.magisk/mirror/data/user_de/0/org.meowcat.edxposed.manager/conf/modules.list). I'd edited it to remove the crashing module that caused the bootloop, and rebooted.
