+1 THIS!! That's why I am hoping to figure out how to "backup" and "restore" our partitions via dd at this point for no other reason than to "return to stock". One thing I have found is that when I have root I start messing around and when I start messing around sometimes I break something ;) With a custom recovery I don't worry about it because I can just restore a backup, however since we don't have a custom recovery I am trying to learn how to backup and restore the partitions via dd in download mode.
[AT&T LG G4] petermg:
So according to this article: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...plained-boot-system-recovery-data-cache-misc/ wiping the data partition is like doing a factory reset. I wanted to know if this was true or not so I went to my G3, backed up the data partition, then wiped it and rebooted and yes, it was just like I had done a factory reset on it. It worked fine. So... I guess for those of us who have made a backup of our system partition via the dd command in download mode, I guess we have all we need to go back to stock. This is so long as we don't flash the wrong KDZ/TOT file. I am not sure yet but I think the people who flash the wrong system.img file, like wrong firmware version, that end up getting the security error on boot up, I think all they need to do is just reflash the correct firmware system.img file and that takes care of it.. I'll have to double check the posts on that. So I guess just reflashing your original backed up system.img file then doing a factory reset will take the phone totally back to stock. It's sure looking this way as of right now. I am still reading up on partitions, etc..
[AT&T LG G4] warri:
I believe this to be true...EXCEPT the /persist partition where RCTD is found. Which seems to be preventing us from ugrading.
[AT&T LG G4] dave852:
So how far did you get on this? My G4 developed the boot loop issue and will need to be sent away to be repair/replaced. Luckily I was able to flash the disable BIG cores fix to get it stable enough that I should be able to back it up. Just wondering now as I have a locked boot loader what the best way to do this is.

Do I use

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p53 of=/sdcard/system.img

and if so, on which partitions? I'd like to be able to just flash all the images back onto the phone when it's back from repair and have it be like it was before I factory reset it and give it to the courier.

Hey there, two of my micro USB cables just died in a week. I've been using my Samsung cable for like 2 or 3 years without any problem with my Galaxy.

Then I got this Chinaphone and two of my cables died in a week. The Samsung one isn't even charging the phone, it's completely dead. The one that came with the phone is now only charging the phone, but not connecting it to PC. Both cables worked fine for few days, charging and connecting it to a PC.

Not even going to recovery and mounting USB storage is being recognized by the PC.

Is there a possibility that my phone is killing them or what? What should I do?

Edit: Now even the second cable is completely dead.

You never have to wait to unlock the bootloader on a Nexus device.

You can unlock it by simply enabling usb debugging in developer options (and enabling oem unlock option if present) then boot to fastboot and do a fastboot oem unlock in a command prompt. Follow the on screen prompt and you will be bootloader unlocked (your system will be wiped).

If you got a bit lost by those instructions you can use my android toolkit to do everything automatically *HERE*.

What turned me away from the nexus 5 before was the battery drain people kept complaining about. I wish I just went ahead and bought one, I'd probably still be using it instead of trying out all those phones...especially the ones with touchcrap ui :crying: After owning 5.5+ inch phones, I've realized phablets aren't for me.

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] bluppfisk:
Is it possible to install MIUI original apps on Cyanogenmod or any other phone/OS?

Living in China, backing up to the Mi Cloud is easier than to syncing with Google, as it does not require switching on the VPN and thus does not drain the battery waiting for a VPN connection and gets generally higher network speeds.

Also, the dialler and the messaging app have features that are handy for users in China. The messaging app automatically picks up tracking codes from courier services and can track their progress on the official website easily. It also knows which companies use which phone numbers for broadcast messages and automatically assigns logos and names to their messages.

The dialler app comes with phone number tagging. A phone number that is tagged as a scam, telemarketeer or a courier will show up as such so you have a chance to decline or accept an unknown number.

All these features are a little too handy to be missed. Can they be reinstalled now that I put Cyanogenmod on my phone, or could they even be installed on, say, a Samsung phone without MIUI?

LBE and xiaomi launcher

But in foreign countries, usefulness
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] bluppfisk:
Don't need LBE, I don't think much of the whole 'security' app thing on a phone. But would the Launcher bring back the dialler and the messaging? But then I can't use these apps if I decide to keep Catapult launcher?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] bluppfisk:
So I wonder why, for instance, I cannot install the Xiaomi Music app onto my Cyanogenmod. It says app not installed after I download it from the Mi Appstore. Is it missing a framework or something? Or does it just check whether it's in the MIUI environment and bails if it's not?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rob rich:
I would say because its a system app, you have to put it to /system/priv-app via a root Explorer and change permissions to rw r r .

Or can try to put it in /system/app.

Maybe this works.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] wabbisabbi:
Does it have the same heat problems that it have with MIUI multilanguage (aka development) version at least? I'm installing stable version right now to test if the heat and throttle in heavy graphics games is still a problem.

L.E. Sorry (very) wrong thread.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] chasemyass:
You could always try to look at miui forum for your needs. They have this launcher but if I remember correctly I think there is one more app that brings more of MIUI on any other phone. I dont remember it now. Start diging there, maybe you get what you need.

[Xperia Z5 General] spielnicht:
Ok, here we go. I've been (and still am) a HUGE fan of Sony mobile products. You obviously see from my sig that I own the Z3 Compact Tablet and Smartwatch 3, both products that I simply LOVE and believe are the best among the competition. I've also owned three Xperia phones previously (ZL, Z1, Z3). The Z5, killed it for me. KILLED IT. First of all, I really wanted to believe the hype about the new camera and finally say that my Sony phone is as good as my wife's iPhone 6 camera or my friends' other Android phone cameras. Sadly, that is not the case. The sensor might be awesome and new, but unfortunately Sony still can't properly process the images. I read the reviews and watched the videos before buying mine, and I wanted so badly for them to be wrong. However, after playing with the Z5 for 5 days, I came to the conclusion that the new sensor hasn't changed anything. Pictures still come out grainy and soft and fail miserably in comparison to the competition. The new sensor is also fast, as fast as Sony claims, BUT for some reason there is a lag when you press the shutter button that leads to slightly blurred images.

I also have to admit that for some reason or another, the Z5 lost it's sexiness when compared to the Z3. I can go on and mention some of the other little things, but in all honesty, the camera and the way the phone looks did it in.

With that said, I've returned the phone as I was originally planning on doing anyway because of the light bleed issue, but I'm actually ordering the international version of the white Galaxy S6 instead. I use the phone at work daily for mobile app design testing and it is the best phone Sammy has ever released, not to mention one of the best cameras out there. I guess I was hoping that the Z5 would be just that, a S6 with Sony styling and no touchwiz, but I guess I'll settle for the S6 until Sony addresses the real issue behind their weak camera.

This is by no means intended to change anyone's opinion about the Z5, just sharing my observations and reasons. Who knows, maybe next year like now the Z6 will finally be the phone with the camera that everyone will drool over. Until then, I'll still be a loyal Sony guy with my X3C Tablet and SmartWatch 3 (fingers crossed for a SW4 soon).
[Xperia Z5 General] schecter7:
Did you adjust your position to account for Z5's wide FoV before taking shots for comparison? I have a Z5, Z3+, S6 & they all take cleaner low-light indoor shots than my sister's IP6+ (with OIS)! I'm not a blind Sony fan either. I'd rather get shot than pick a Sony TV (my second favorite) over a Panasonic (Plasma) TV lol
[Xperia Z5 General] monx®:
I'm currently a Sony hardcore fan, but i highly recommend you Samsung Galaxy K Zoom for your photography enthusiasm on phone .

For other great feature/design + waterproof phone, get Xperia Z series.
[Xperia Z5 General] schecter7:
I'd probably go with something like QX100/30 as they work on both android & iOS. They also stay with you even if you decide to ditch the 'phone' ;)
[Xperia Z5 General] joe_dude:
Not trying to insult you, spielnicht, but you know it's a two-stage shutter button?
[Xperia Z5 General] Jooosty:
I feel like the camera is way better than the Z3s. And that's good enough for me.

Design is preference. I personally find the green one that I have, sexy.

The only gripe that I have worth mentioning is the speakers. They are pretty weak compared to my HTC One M8.

There is no other phone out there that combines what Sony has done with the Z5.

-Pocketable

-Great camera. (works well enough)

-Likeable design (preference)

-Water resistant

-Front firing speakers

-And most of all. The most comfortable fingerprint scanner on the market.

-"premium materials and build"
[Xperia Z5 General] spielnicht:
Heh. Yeah I'm aware of that. Regardless of whether you use the physical shutter button or tap the screen, there is a .5sec delay until the picture is snapped and thus leads to blurry images unless you are a robot and don't move the phone at all in that .5sec.

Like I said, no one here needs to convince me that Sony's hardware is TOPS and the design is timeless and of the highest quality. However, you get to a point when you ask yourself whether not being able to take nice pics of your kids is worth living with it. For me, it's not. I am finally willing to try out Samsung since it's going to get me more of the things that I need daily. For my Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet, a camera is irrelevant, so I'm more than thrilled to own that over any other brand.

I just read Sony is building a dedicated mobile factory in Thailand, so fingers crossed that they are putting more R&D efforts and actually work on the shortcomings of the Xperia line. Until then, you'll find me at the Z3 Compact Tablet forum ;)
[Xperia Z5 General] wheresmybeaver:
Sony definitely has work to do on the camera app; I have faith in the new sensor technology but software wise... This planned camera app update in November should hopefully do the trick.

My own observations:

- Holding the camera button to wake the camera (from screen off or even standby) is not reliable. Sometimes requires a second long-press of the camera button. Sometimes this leads to a photo being taken the second the camera app opens.

- Activating the camera can sometimes be practically instant (half a second) or sometimes 2 or 3 seconds - no consistency here at all.

- Accessing your camera roll can sometimes be maddeningly slow.
[Xperia Z5 General] pavel1_1:
Hi guys, I switched to Z5 from Z3 and since I have not been able to sell my old phone yet, I have also had some doubts if the upgrade is worth it. If I had the option to return the Z5 I might also go for it, but that's not possible here. However, I think that the Z5 has great hardware and design, and at the moment what is holding it back is the software. After all we are still on the initial release for the device and it's only fare to give a chance to the next software version. Also, the device was released at a time when sony was probably already developing their version of Android 6, and might not have put too much work in the already "outdated" version that the z5 has out of the box. Anyway, I hope the update to Marshmallow brings improvements and I'd really like to see the concept for android software on the Z5.
[Xperia Z5 General] Schumi 01:
Interesting that, currently i have a Z3C, love the phone, but my eyes are starting to get a little tired, was going to upgrade to a Z3 or a Z5, but is the price difference between the two models worth it ?
[Xperia Z5 General] spielnicht:
I went from a Z3 to the Z5. To justify the price difference, you would need to consider what the Z5 offers that the Z3 doesn't and see if that matters to

you

.

What initially helped me justify the move:

Fingerprint Scanner

Normal USB Port

Supposedly Better Camera

What quickly killed the excitement:

Disappointing camera performance during everyday use

Bland design (in comparison to the Z3 at least)

Phone feels thicker

LCD light bleed issues (the final straw for me)
[Xperia Z5 General] JKWR:
Sony have always had **** camera performance in the Xperia line even though apple etc use Sony sensors and their pics are amazing!!
[Xperia Z5 General] Schumi 01:
Thank you very much indeed, after reading the above, honestly, i think i will just upgrade to the Z3 and save some money, not too interested in the Fingerprint scanner, but it does sound good, maybe a bit gimmicky for myself, as for the others you have mentioned, again, quite happy with the way the Z3C is laid out.

Could i justify a price a difference of around £150 for a Fingerprint Scanner, and a normal USB port, i really dont think i could.

Z3 it is then, Thanks very much indeed.
[Xperia Z5 General] EQ2000:
Considering any Z1+ mobile produces way better photos than any Iphone in all light conditions (assuming DRM keys are intact and lens cover is not scratched) you probably better off buying a potato and slapping instagram filters on the photo and calling it a day. However SA dark/night mode seems wonky for the Z5 and probably will be updated.

Turn off your phone, and then turn it on pressing and holding Volume Up, Home, and Power button at the same time until you see a warning. Then press Volume Up to continue, and navigate using volume keys and select wipe cache/factory reset with the Home button, then reboot.
