No guts, no glory. I'm at the office, and have decided to encrypt my V10. With the Snapdragon 808 and ARMv8-A, among other things, I expect performance to be good.

63%... 64%.... 65%....
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyydynasty:
good luck
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladthedog:
I'm curious about this as well. Been meaning to start the encryption process (coming from a nexus 6, I got used to it). From the settings it looks like its possible, but could you confirm for me as well that the microSD can be left UNENCRYPTED while internal is encrypted?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickzotz:
All done. The internal storage encryption completed in about 35 minutes. As expected, it asked for the passcode on boot, and the FPS works to unlock. Updating several apps after boot went quickly, and apps appear to load and run with no apparent performance impact. Excellent. :)

The phone also has a 64GB Class 10 microSD (from my former Note 3), which I have left unencrypted for now. The free 200GB card will ship to me soon.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedthehumanoid:
Thanks for posting your results. I was curious about that as well.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickzotz:
Later in the day I encrypted the 64GB microSD with no issues, and have seen no performance impact. The only problem now is MS Intune not recognizing the encryption state of my phone, despite all of the storage being fully encrypted. Terrible to be without the corporate ball-and-chain until this problem is solved. ;)

Currently on a Nexus 5X with marshmallow and am looking to change the location mode [High Accuracy, Battery Saving, GPS] through the shell. I've found numerous threads on this topic simulating essentially what Secure Settings does for the Tasker plugin.

http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...ossible-to-enable-location-services-via-shell

http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/115011/toggle-location-services-via-adb-in-android-5

Also this alternative method: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-restore-change-android-id-t3219345

Tried these too:

INSERT
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:location_providers_allowed --bind value:s:wifi,network

UPDATE
adb shell content update --uri content://settings/secure --bind value:s:wifi,network --where "name=\'location_providers_allowed\'"

However, it refuses to change on my Nexus 5X. I've tried numerous different ways whether just calling it from ADB shell or just as a root user in the shell directly. Nothing seems to change the "location_provders_allowed" key manually.

Anyone have any leads on this? I've wanted to use Secure Settings, but it doesn't support systemless root as well as even if it did I think this is the method they use in the app.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmriskus:
Hello,

I'm having issues with my new tablet. I followed the instructions outlined here

http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/development/wip-achieving-root-thread-t3238152

And achieved root. All was well, but about 24 hours later, my tablet decided to restart, and when it rebooted, I no longer seemed to have root access. I then confirmed this with a root checker app. I still had the Google Play store, and the SuperSU app however. I checked using a file explorer and I still have an su file under /system/xbin.

I tried a reboot using the same method as above, but it seems to be failing because the files already exist. I tried uninstalling the SuperSU app using the full unroot option inside the app, but it simply says 'uninstalling, please wait' for a few seconds and then goes back to the home screen, SuperSU still there. I then attempted to restore to factory defaults, but alas the app remains and I am still unable to reboot (as well as losing all my data sadly). I am getting a drop down notification telling me that 'the SU binary needs to be updated' but that installation fails as well.

I'm unsure how to proceed trying to reroot my device, and feel stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I'm not sure what caused the device to restart and me to lose my root in the first place. From what I've read trying to figure this out, an OTA update may of caused me to lose my root, so I'm also wondering if there's anyway to prevent this from happening again if I can regain root.

Thanks

WHAT IT IS...

This mod will activate your handset speaker to work at the same time as your main speaker while playing music, watching videos, movies, when phone rings, etc....not as good as the 6's duall front speakers but better then 1...I called it surround sound because when i made this originally the phone i used had a rear speaker and with this mod the sound kind of surrounds the phone. Obviously it isnt real surround sound but nonetheless sounds great.

DISCLAIMER...

I am not responsible in any way for anything that happens to your device whether manually installing the files or flashing zip files for the surround sound mod. You do so at your own risk. Many have tested this on their 5x phone and it works great. Enjoy

INSTALLATION...

You can install a couple different ways including extracting the files included in the zip and manually pushing them to system/etc, set permissions to rw r r, and reboot or just flash the included zips in your custom recovery?...

Volume

If your looking to leave the stock configuration of just the one main speaker, but would like to raise the volume, please refer to the picture below for the location of the value that needs to be adjusted. As i do not have the phone yet, i can't test to see how high you can go but from my past experiences on various phones 90 is about the maximum before distortion starts and sometimes even issues like reboots, freezes, etc can happen if you go too high or below the stock value of 84.

Steps Followed:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.2-bullhead.img
adb sideload Nexus_5x_Surround.zip
adb reboot

Sidenote: Do we have any specifications on the top speaker? I.E. Is it the same or different than the lower speaker. Just curious.

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] idksomuch:

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
The two speakers are completely different unfortunately but need to be. One is an internal speaker wchich is the handset and you need to put your ear up to it to hear and the other is an external, made so that you can hear it while away from the phone. I did raise the volume on the headset speaker a couple notches more then the main speaker so that the main doesnt overwhelm the headset speaker to the point that you cant hear it.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] ViRb3:
This mod just brought life to my Nexus 5X's sound! I was very skeptical at first, but when I installed it the stereo feeling was unbelievably strong given the fact that it comes off a headset speaker! Thank you so much!

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
Honestly i dont know. It depends on the quality of speaker LG used. What i do know is that i have been using this mod on all my phones without any issue yet and the oldest one is almost two years old on my Note 3 which i have the volume turned up a lot more then this and no problems yet.

So i would say no but i cant be sure. On another note the speaker is not hard to change at all if it does get damaged and usually is pretty cheap ranging from $6 to $15 depending on phone. Im not sure of the exact price for the 5x but ill take a look.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] parthabhatta:
The problem was may be due to an earlier version of EX kernel. Latest version seems to have taken care of that as flar2 already indicated in a post in his kernel thread that he is trying to make some changes in sound. Lastly it's pretty excellent if no conflict exists now.

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
I dont think it can go much louder without distorting. Ill raise it and you guys let me know if its ok..
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] EVR_PR:
For what it's worth, I flashed the upper handset speaker loudness script on the latest 6.0.1 build and it works. Raises volume from 87 to 89. I notice that you barely notice the increase in volume, but instead it introduces distortion and imbalance between the two speakers.

There was a post a couple of pages back with a script for Nexus 5 that equalized the sound profile of both speakers so that they sound the same (not just equally loud). It would be interesting if something like that could be implemented into this script.

IMO, on v6.0.1, the speakers sound better without the loudness mod.

[MENTION=5108383]sshafranko[/MENTION]

Your louder surround mod is OK for me. I just downloaded and installed it on my Android N "W" version. Distortion increase but slightly reduced volume is acceptable. I am excited with this mod. Can you reduce the volume of main speaker a bit so that the stereo balance improves a slightly. I am in default kernel for N and there are no options for adjustment of main speaker volume. Thanks to you.

I have not tried your "dual speaker on call" mod and may not try that.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] roofrider:
It'll be a couple of days before I give the upper speaker while on call mod a whirl since I'm travelling. That's said, did the XML require major changes to achieve that? If you can share the code changes I'll just try editing my file on the go (if it's minor). Just a lil hesitant to flash the zip because I've edited my XML to also include the left and right channel fix.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] parthabhatta:
What sort of left right channel fix? If talking about balance, I will be happy if you can lend your file. Or better if you can detail the adjustments made since I have flashed sshafranko's louder mod.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] EVR_PR:
I think he means the one in Post #142
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
Ive been out for a while do to a crap load of work i think i missed the lefr right channel fix...is it switched or something else? Let me know and ill make the changes in the zips so you dont have to mess with it every time you flash.

Its a few lines of code, if your really interested i can post a before and after pic of the section i changed so you can use it as a reference. Let me know...
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
Sure i can make a seperate zip doing what you ask. So i guess the main speaker is loud enough that lowering the volume will be fine? Why do t you post the mixer paths file for N so i can make it for that too. Im not a fan of mixing files from other firmwares like that. If it was an update to the same firmware probably ok, but even then i like to update it but totally dif firmware i dont like. It may work but there may be changes in other places which they may have implemented in N for example for volte, or wifi calling, that you will loose by flashing mm file and provably wont but could potentially cause issues....if you post your mixer file ill take care of it.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] parthabhatta:

There is a way to boost earpiece during call? Tried with handset and voice-handset path. No way...
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] chdloc:
You can query which audio device is being used for a call by running the following command in an adb shell while talking on the phone (handset)

logcat | grep select_devices

Unless you are using a kernel that offers kernel-level sound control (Faux and friends) you should be able to adjust the level inside the returned audio device in mixer_paths.xml. Post the above logcat output if you need further assistance.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] enzippo:
Great help! Here the logcat attacched.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] chdloc:
According to your log, the "voice-handset" device is used. The stock "voice-handset" entry in mixer_paths.xml is

<path name="voice-handset">
<path name="handset" />
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="EAR PA Gain" value="POS_6_DB" />
</path>

You would want to increase "RX1 Digital Volume" from the stock 84 (0 dB) to something higher. Each "tick" adds 1 dB. For example 87 increases the gain by 3 dB. Note that adding gain will lead to distortion which will become audible at some point. Every time you change the value you will need to reboot for it to take effect. To play with gains during a "live" call you will have to follow my directions around "tinymix" in post #142. You can also use "tinymix" to view the applied gain while a call is active by issuing the following command in a root shell

tinymix | grep "RX1\ Digital\ Volume"

Note that custom kernels with sound control can throw a wrench into all of this.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] enzippo:
Thanks for help. Tried to raise the voice handset value but seem it has no effect on the volume gain... Really don't know why... On the nex5 i can strongly increase the volume. Maybe is "protected"?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] chdloc:
Are you running a custom kernel (if so, which one?) and did you try the tinymix suggestion that I made above? Do level changes for the base OP stereo playback mod work?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] enzippo:
I'm on ex kernel... Not yet tried tinymix. The sourround mod work like a charm...
