True, the benchmark is not very fair.

The performance decrease after using encryption for a while was very drastic (it got very annoying), and I more or less reinstalled all the app I got as before the factory reset. Now I'm using it already for quite a longer time as I had it encrypted and it's still way faster.

Indeed it might have been a rogue app I had at the time, but I still suspect the encryption had a lot to do with it :cowboy:
[Moto G 2015 General] gene.pavlovsky:
It's possible to go back from encrypted to decrypted while keeping all your data intact.

Using TWRP recovery, boot into recovery, enter your encryption password, then make a backup.

After that do a factory data reset (somewhere in Settings).

Your userdata partition is now not encrypted.

Boot into TWRP again, and restore the backup. Done.

I found this out the hard way. On a CM13-based ROM, I set an encryption password separate from phone's PIN (using CM's `vdc cryptfs changepw password` command). So every time I booted my phone, it asked me this encryption password. TWRP worked fine with it, too.

I did a backup of my ROM, then wiped it to check some features in a couple of other ROMs.

While setting up another ROM, I've set up a PIN and stupidly checked "Require PIN to start device". After I was done checking this ROM, I wiped it and installed yet another ROM. When I booted it, it asked me for a PIN. But the PIN I've set up in the last ROM didn't work. I couldn't try with my old encryption password since the keyboard was in NumPad-only mode. I could still boot into recovery and my original encryption password worked there. Some articles I've found mentioned I should delete locksettings.db* and gatekeeper.*.key files from /data/system and all will be golden - did that with no effect. Wiping the phone from TWRP didn't do anything to fix things.

What I did next was: rebooted into bootloader, connected phone to my laptop, executed `fastboot erase userdata` from my laptop, after that rebooted into recovery and the encryption was gone. Restored my original ROM's backup and everything worked fine. Re-encrypted the phone later. Should be more careful with PINs next time...

WARNING

This will format your SD Card and you will lose all data on it! Make a backup first!

WHY

No limit of file size

Safer filesystem

IMPORTANT

If you use SuperSU, disable "Mount namespace separation"

You need to have busybox installed!

TWRP recovery will automatically detect the filesystem and work as before.

Everything works as before. That includes MTP, Stock File Manager, Storage settings.

HOWTO

Install SuperSU:

If you have root, just download from play store, select Normal Installation. Wait. Go to MIUI Security, Root permissions, and enable SuperSU. Go back to SuperSU, select Normal Installation again.

If you don't have root, you need to install from recovery, with twrp.

Install Busybox from Google Play, then start the app, and press install.

Install Redmi Note 2 Tool from Google Play.

Start the app, give root persmissions.

In MIUI security, enable Autostart and Root for Redmi Note 2 Tool.

If you only want to use the SD Card functions without the CPU tweaks make sure Set On Boot and modify touchboost is unticked.

Make sure you have a backup of every important data on your SD.

Select Other from the left menu, and press Format SD as ext4, if you haven't done it manually before.

Tick Mount SD as ext4 on boot.

Press Save&Apply, and you are good to go.

There was an issue with mounting that could prevent writing to the card. Hopefully 1.3 will solve this.

[Redmi Note 2 General] Xmister:
Try again a few times, or try to reboot. If the problem persists, you may have to format the card in a PC.

Also 1.8(.1) has a problem with auto-mount on boot, it is fixed in 1.8.2
[Redmi Note 2 General] Frty&dr:
Got it. It works. I dont use touchboost mode and if im using performance mode i cant open app. Yeah im switching but it is a small bug.

Is there a possibility to save aps on sd? I think by using apps2sd, make second swap partition? Dont know am i right...
[Redmi Note 2 General] Xmister:
With 1.8.3 you can continue even when using other governors.

Apps2SD would be harder. Yes you need second partition, and you would need to mount that to data in the beginning of the boot. That's not possible without ramdisk tweaking. Which is extremely hard and dangerous to do with an application.
[Redmi Note 2 General] dablado:
Is it possible to read a SD card formated with ext4 in Windows?
[Redmi Note 2 General] Xmister:
If the phone is connected to the PC, with MTP, you can read/write as before.

If you want to read the card itself, you need something like ext2fsd, or a total commander plugin, etc.
[Redmi Note 2 General] andre_lesmana:
Sorry if I ask something silly. If I backup data with titanium before formatting sd card with ext4, can I just restore it after formatting the sd card ? Or I should do another thing first ?
[Redmi Note 2 General] Xmister:
Titanium backup is going to backup your applications to the sdcard, so it's not what you want.

You just have to copy everything from external sd to your pc or cloud or whatever, and after formatting, copy it back.

Ha..ha..ha..how can I forget about that. I forget about system and aplications are installed in internal storage and backup to sd card. I'm going to try it. Thank you for you explanation..
[Redmi Note 2 General] Xmister:
With the past few versions, it was actually not possible to format the card.

This new version will not only format, but repartition it, to minimize the chance for an error.
[Redmi Note 2 General] pp23:
I have used the Redmi Note 2 Tool for some time, but since Xiaomi removed Root from there Dev Roms and I have to use SuperSU for Root the mounting of my ext4 sd card doesn't work correctly anymore. I always get a Permission Denied error in Apps that don't have Root Rights.

Is there a way to make this work again or did I overlook some Setting?
[Redmi Note 2 General] garrylok:
Hard to understanding ex4 is OK if in case not wok I can mount again in ex4 tools. But miui file broser file manager can't use ext 4. Rootexpoler can use ex4. Is it need give permision for each program ? They don't ask for permision. Then how to solve it and run ex4 sdcard as normal in fat 32

I've managed to get a crack I my screen, not really sure how though. I've treated it the same way as my old tablet which had no problems for two years. (Until the third time it fell of my bicycle!)

Has anyone else had this happen?

This is my first LG device, I can't say I'm all that impressed so far. No official updates for non-Korean or Verizon tablets, terrible official flashing software, no way of unlocking the bootloader and now a cracked screen. :(

The best part about this tablet is the hardware specs, the newer LG tablets have worse specs than this do I bought one second-hand!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyygan:
I have an S4 i9505, never rooted or flashed any custom roms. Running the latest OS version from Samsung.

Phone was on the desk while I was working, suddenly it vibrated and turned off.

Now it's stuck in a boot loop, sometimes gets stuck on the Samsung logo.

Tried booting to recovery, worked on my 3rd attempt. Wiped cache, booted past the logo into the carrier logo and the SAMSUNG logo and then went back in the loop.

I have not installed any harfmul apps, I don't want to do a factory wipe yet because of precious data on the device.

Is there anything more I can try? :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Download a stock ROM for your device from sammobile.com and install it using Odin. Since Odin doesn't wipe data when it installs, your data should be safe. With luck, the reinstall will correct your bootloop.

I've obtained the v1 official MM soak test for xt1540 US 16gb/2gb variant. I've had the links posted elsewhere here for a couple days, but I wanted to give this better exposure so more devs can make use of it.

I WILL NOT SHARE THE SIGNED OTA PUBLICLY, SO DO NOT ASK!!

ANY KNOWN MOTO G DEVELOPERS WHO CAN MAKE USE OF IT, PLEASE PM ME!

v2 fixes storage mounting. To get it working you must enable developer options, scroll to select usb configuration, then select mtp. Even if MTP is already selected, you still have to check it again. As soon as you click it your device's storage will automatically remount and the files will be visible from your computer.

v3 enables storage mounting switch via the notification shade. Click the "USB for_____" notification to switch.

[MENTION=4196521]hp420[/MENTION] thank you and would you know if theres any more differences between the xt1540 and xt1541 other than the radio?
[Moto G 2015 Android Development] hp420:
I can't think of any reason there would be any other difference. I honestly think that is the only difference at all among any of the variants, which would explain why roms are universal. The radio isn't flashed with an aosp rom, so you're not changing one of the few things that define that variant.

I would bet even the bootloader and all are identical, 100%.

This is how Nexus devices are, and we basically have that, with the one exception of Moto's sparsechunk system images, which are just a split standard system.img....and that's what I've posted above...so, in theory, a diligent user who knows a little bit about this kind of stuff could split that system.img posted above into sparsechunks set to our default maximum sparsechunk size (which is somewhere around 260mb, I believe) and have a working factory image. All you would have to do is replace the radio with each region's own proper radio and it would be universal.

I'm no expert, so I can't guarantee...I'm only theorizing based on my experience as a Nexus tinkerer for many many years. But if you are comfortable with this stuff and want to give it a shot I do have some resources I dug up a few days ago before I sort of chickened out and stopped before I got myself into a situation I didn't know how to get out of.
[Moto G 2015 Android Development] hp420:

Oh boy! Now this is Christmas! :D thanks man!
[Moto G 2015 Android Development] dd98:
I was thinking of maybe flashing the system.img, not through fastboot, but using the command dd if=sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p(whatever) then hopefully i can test it then and report back to you, at least if it works that way then we have some sort of means of installing it
[Moto G 2015 Android Development] hp420:
I guess that should work. That's exactly how I dumped it...just reversed ;) It never occurred to me I could go the other way with it, for some reason. Please keep me posted on your results...I'm very interested in this!!

You're very welcome, bud!! :D I'm glad to be able to spark some good movement in our development!!

I miss the fast paced Nexus forums so much. I still have my N4, but there isn't as much activity as there once was. This is basically a Nexus, for all intents and purposes, so maybe we can get a few more of those great devs to build for us if we can show them that there's movement happening here.

[Moto G 2015 Android Development] hp420:
I was not able to before my computer completely died, but there are guides around to do it if you're feeling adventurous.

Also, I should mention, if you can gain adb shell access you don't have ro split it. You can just dd the system.img to the correcf partition ;)
[Moto G 2015 Android Development] feligoni:
Yeah, i know. The thing is the phone has locked bootloader so i cant flash twrp :( so i cant get adb shell access without twrp right? I saw one of your post that you mention the splitter tool but i ended up with 9 sparse chunks. the chunks must be of 256mb?
[Moto G 2015 Android Development] hp420:
Right, TWRP flashed is an absolute must. Booted won't work, as far as I know...or at least it doesn't on my amazon fire tab with a locked bootloader. Besides, what you are doing is overwriting a partition with a .img file...the bootloader must be unlocked for that anyway. If you can unlock it that's the best way, and I'm pretty sure that's possible without a bootable device, as long as you have got fastboot still. I don't remember any part of the unlocking process requiring me to have the device booted to android.

My honest opinion has always been that a device with an unlocked bootloader is safer in the hands of an educated user than an unlocked one because there are about a hundred ways to recover a bricked or semi bricked device once the bootloader is unlocked. If it's locked you've got 2 options: send it back or unlock it if you can.
[Moto G 2015 Android Development] feligoni:
Yes i know! Its not my phone, i unlock my devices as soon as i get them. I tried to unlock it but it says i have to enable OEM unlock on dev options, quite ironic since i cant boot it to android hehe. Well, ill keep trying and see what i can get, if not, ill just wait for fw image of MM.

Thanks!
[Moto G 2015 Android Development] hp420:
have you tried flashing your split system image? I think the only size requirement is maximum size, because if you look at factory images the sparsechunks are never the same size. It shows the maximum filesize in the terminal message while it's sending the system.img sparsechunk to the device...I can't remember what it is now...280mb?? Something like that.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorro37:
So Honor 6+ my power button had been kinda stuck for a while and sometimes it would take holding it in for 20-30 seconds, but I always got it on eventually and used apps like 'Volume Power' to use the volume buttons to unlock the screen if the power button was stuck.

The key was basically to try to avoid letting the phone go off, but last weekend I'm on a plane no plug and it happens. I knew it was a matter of time before the power button simply didn't respond at all and that's what has happened. I've been pressing and holding it in hope constantly but nothing.

Phone is only 6 months old so I contact Huawei (in UK) to arrange repair. They offer me a new one but obviously I would rather my own fixed. Here's the killer - as a policy they wipe every phone that comes to their repair centre. I mean are you serious?! They send me detailed instructions on how to back my phone up before sending it out. However, obviously no instructions as to how to get the freaking thing on without the power button to back it up.

I would be hugely appreciative if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can get it on without the button, even just once, and back up tons of vacation snaps and a lifetime worth of contacts. I'll try anything before I give up and send it off to them to get back blank . Thanks!

Peace friends! ! !

​

I've been very busy with my android desktop and was a big rush to get my supplies LauncherAdvanced, unique thread of my development HERE

I would like to clarify that I have compiled this launcher for a long time, then the android trendy JB was 4.2, I had to make some optimizations so that it can get better at 4.4 and 5.1 (maybe in the future 6.0).

The purpose of the launcher is the same as I always have in mind, do not like and have never liked large packages and applications do not like too much RAM consumption, thinking that I developed this launcher, it is a typical size coming from ADW sources [MENTION=2318997]AnderWeb[/MENTION] (Thanks).

Their characteristics are very clear, see below:

Desktop settings

Set icons and wallpaper

Set style dock bar

You can set colors and transparencies in the apps grid

you can create folders and name them

Speed to open the apps grid

Animations, themes etc ..

You can also back up and restore it if you want to save your settings

Known bugs:

At the moment he does not have a transparent status bar (I will fix this)

By using wallpaper is a blur in the dock bar (only the launcher wallpapers, you can use other without problems)

Some other?

It is fully in the development of state and I will appreciate if you understand java and can help me with corrections, so I'll leave my sources available on GitHub

DOWNLOAD HERE

To install:

Download the latest launcher

Pass to your SD

Install usually how to install an apk SD

enjoy
