For those that are interested:

https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/3z1bfi/enable_adoptable_storage_on_your_lg_g4_stock_no/

This does work on our phone. Keep in mind that it will FORMAT your sd card so back it up first. This isn't my info and its mentioned in another thread in the international S7 forum (on my phone so I'll update with a link since its buried in a thread). So thank those that did the actual work.

PSA: if you have a slow sd card I don't recommend this. Class 10 should be fine but UHS*x* is best.

Edit: Here's the thread in the International S7 forum

Also there's a post in there saying we should replace "private" with "mixed". This is the post in that thread regarding it.

Any issues like the ones reported in the reddit thread?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] KCRic:
I don't know. I have no need to expand my internal storage right now so I haven't tried it. I just posted it up for everyone here in case anyone needed it. Maybe it will calm a few people down out there who are upset that adoptable storage wasn't "included" even though it was originally going to be.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] t1328:
Thanks a lot for this great work. FYI, when I did this, I couldn't get Google Music to download to the SD card. I guess it downloads to internal storage first, and when the SD card is not adopted storage, Google Music sees that it's there. But when it is adopted storage, it doesn't - which I imagine is as expected. So it pushed the music to primary storage. I imagine the workaround is to use a 50/50 split or something, and then the SD card will still show up.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] jayman350:
works great! did this w/ my new 128 GB sandisk. i was a little confused as to why my storage was already full, but that was b/c I never did the migrate step. The system doesn't see storage correctly, but a small price to pay for adoptable storage...now I just wish it didn't take a day and a half to transfer to/from the damn thing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] t1328:
At what stage do you do this migrate step? Is it after the whole process is done?

Thanks!

Hi guyz!

I've been reading you all for a while now, first post though...

So here's my problem: I've got a Digital2 Platinum tablet (D2-751G2-BK on the box), and I had to factory reset it. Since then, no more Google Play app, nothing related to it neither.

So I rooted it with kingoroot, no problem, but after that, I don't know what to do, first time. So I read on forums, then tried to modify and/or delete the host file, tablet won't allow it (delete fail, save failed, etc). Tried to find the Google Play Store app in apk, sometimes it loads enough so I can navigate in it, but I always get the "unfortunately..." message randomly and when I try to download anything from there (or update apps). Also, I had to install Google Services again. And the "pre-installed apps" all have been erased except a few kid's games.

For Google Play Store, yes, I've tried to change the time, the date, the time zone; I've tried a "Google Play Fixer" app, copying the files from my phone and adding them in the tablet, and many more apps I forgot their name. I've been working on that for the last 2-3 days. And also tried to find a Linux/Ubuntu version, a working KitKat version to download, or any app or mod to apply to that tablet... and even in recovery mode, I can't find any working file...

Well, all that simply to ask you, oh mighty lords, to help me find the way to fix my tablet... I just wanna play an online game that need Google Play Store to work (Age of Ishtaria), read emails and google things.

I've been told it was "custom made" for Best Buy and Future Shop. Soooo, not on the builder website.

As far as I know, these are it's specs as far as I know(from the box and settings...):

Model number: Digital2 Platinum

Processor type: DualCore-A23

Android version: 4.4.2

Firmware version: 4.4v1.0

Kernel version: 3.4.39 lxh@lxh-desktop #9

Build number: polaris-kg062_wifi_hd_4.4v1.0_2.4_0.2_20140618

Memory: 1 GB DDRIII

Storage: 8GB (in)

If you need any more information about it, let me know, I'll do what I can to find it...

All help is welcomed!

Thank you all!

I bought a card off ebay 6 months ago and its worked fine since. Tonight, my phone seemed to have crashed so i rebooted it, and when it loaded back up a message appeared 'do you want to format this storage card to make it readable? this will permanently delete any files on the card.'

So i click yes, but nothing happens.. i get the same message everytime i reboot and i cannot access my sd card.

I dont have a card reader to try access/format it from my pc..

Hello guys

Is it worth to s-off or I can install custom recovery and rom with no problem.

What are the benefits of s-off
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alicarbovader:
S-off is good, as long as you can do it without issues. I broke my USB port while trying to s-off. I can't plug my phone into pc, it goes to car mode, and refuses to charge at all. Many people have faced this issue, and this is a software + hardware issue. Just warning you, tho im running ARHD with my own mods on it for about 2 years all without s-off.

Cheers ^_^

I've got hboot 1,61 so i need to know if it is worth buying sunshine or if a free option is avalible
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikecosta64:
As far as I know sunshine is the only way to get s-off on that hboot so you'll need to pay $25. On the matter if it's worth buying that's up to you. Personally s-off allows you to flash ROMs easily since you don't have to worry about firmware and I know some ROMs require s-off. Always research what could go wrong just to make sure you can s-off in the safest way.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You don't need S-OFF to flash a custom recovery nor a custom rom. Is it worth it? Well if you don't need it, no.

If you don't know what are the benefits of having S-OFF then you probably don't need it. Unlocking the bootloader remove the signature check and disable security from the /system, /boot, /recovery and /radio partitions so you can flash custom software like roms, kernel, recovery and radios. S-OFF remove the signature check and security on the remaining partitions like /hboot, /pg1fs, /pg2fs and /mfg which make it possible to flash flash unsigned firmware like a custom hboot for example. This also make possible to downgrade or change your firmware version. With access to the mfg partition you can change your MID number and with the pgfs partitions you can remove the ***tampered***, ***re-locked*** and ***security warning*** flags. S-OFF also enables some blocked "fastboot oem" commands like "fastboot oem writecid" which make it possible to change your CID number. Well a lots of useful things but nothing required to flash a custom recovery and rom.

Achieving S-OFF itself can't broke your USB port, its most likely an hardware problem only or you did something wrong once s-off.

There isn't any free alternative to sunshine on hboot 1.61.

Since he is already running hboot 1.61 he already have one of the latest 7.xx.xxx.x firmware version which is all he need to run all the recent roms. So even if he keep is phone S-ON, firmware isn't something to worry about. ;)

Custom roms requires an unlocked bootloader only, not S-OFF. :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikecosta64:
Well most of them but Skydragon ROM for htc one m7 says it needs s-off and there are some kernels which require s-off as well. I've only seen one, don't remember the name of it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
All of them can be flashed with S-ON :D. There isn't anything justifying the need to have S-OFF when flashing a custom rom or kernel.

Yeah I know its in the OP but you don't need s-off to flash and use it. There are a lot of members reporting successfully flashing this rom on a S-ON phone, even in the Skydragon thread.

I never seen any kernel requiring S-OFF and that wouldn't make any sense since the kernel is written on /boot partition which is not a secured partition once the bootloader is unlocked.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firejuggler86:
Are you fairly knowledgeable about *old* HTC devices as well? (obviously you are very knowledgeable about current ones). Old meaning, gingerbread and older. I personally am not, but I'm wondering if the functions of S-on vs S-off have changed over the years. Because, if you run a basic google search for S-on vs S-off, the *vast majority* of the information you will find is false information-- or at least it is false now, but I do not know if it was always untrue. Countless websites that say "In order to root, you must be S-off." "In order to flash ROMs, you must have S-off." Stuff like that. I know the internet is full of false information, but it seems to me the amount of false information regarding S-off is disproportionate.. I find it odd.

That said...it's not completely necessary, but it *is* nice being able to remove the Tampered flag, and to have the red text be gone, and to be able to lock and unlock my bootloader and have it say 'locked" instead of "relocked." Is it even still the case that S-off allows you to flash the /system partition? I am S-off, and I have never been able to successfully flash /system. It always returns a permission denied error of some kind. Maybe it works with KitKat and below, and from Lollipop on you need an Eng bootloader to flash /system through fastboot?

I'm kinda curious how the one poster broke his usb port trying to S-off.... did it involve that one old S-off method that involved stripped wires...I think it was called the wire method.. I like the term "hot wiring"
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Me neither, my first HTC device was in 2012, the One X (Tegra variant)

Probably, there a lot of old guides (back in the nexus one days) saying that you need S-OFF in order to ROOT which is false when speaking about the One M7 but not so false when speaking about the Verizon One M7 (this one requires s-off since bootloader unlock is not available from htcdev.com)

I think its a combination of false informations and outdated informations. For example, some ppl are still saying that you must flash the kernel (boot.img) using fastboot after flashing a custom rom on a S-ON phone. This was true for older HTC devices, but not needed on the M7 (and i guess newer devices) since the boot partition isn't secured and can now be flashed from custom recovery. There are some ppl confusing ROOT and Unlocked bootloader (they think unlocking the bootloader = rooting the phone which are 2 totally different things). A lor of outdated/false(or applying to a specific device only) information online. Better to look for the most recent information available for the correct device. :good:

Yep, exactly what I was saying above, its very useful to have s-off. But is it needed to flash a custom recovery and rom (question asked at post #1)? Absolutely not.

You don't need s-off to flash the system partition, only an unlocked bootloader but it can only be done from custom recovery, not from fastboot.

If you absolutely want to flash /system from fastboot then I suppose you can make a custom ruu.zip with the system image only and flash it in RUU mode. In this case you will need S-OFF since its required to flash an unsigned ruu.zip.

Me too but imo its a coincidence only. The methods used to achieve S-OFF doesn't requires any hardware modification. You only have to use the appropriate exploit (software) for your bootloader version and the only one requiring your phone to be connected with a usb cable is rumrunner. The other exploits like Revone or Sunshine for example are running directly from your phone, without any computer. I'm 99.99% sure achieving s-off itself can't cause hardware damage since its done using software as opposed to the hot wiring method you described. Anyway what I'm saying in this thread might not apply for other HTC devices but I'm pretty sure everything I'm saying is 100% correct for the M7.

I agree that lately, the headset controls stopped working when the screen is and/or the device is locked. Also in this situation the volume-rocker is not working either.

It's very frustrating.

Your workaround to activate "device locks instantly" is working for me and now my headsets' controls and volume-rocker are working with the screen off.

I can't be sure, but the problem seemed to start after the "March 2016 Security Update." I installed it on Saturday or Sunday, and when I started using my headset again on Monday, I noticed the problem.

Is there a way to root my phone, use titanium backup and then unlock bootloader and stuff without losing my data?

I was then going to install this custom ROM

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/orig-development/rom-dirty-unicorns-6-0-1-bullhead-03-01-t3326395

Kind of don't want to brick my phone as things have sort of changed.

Have rooted 3 phones before but now things have changed. The kernels auto installed for me, now I don't know.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] honordevice:
[IMG="Image1"]http://mmbiz.qpic.cn/mmbiz/2djnKicxXsqXtq3Prtm5BcL8NkkI4pEiaHlABf1qwv5buS2ZjIFmibl7g6v9TsEFYfVP3lyGm756XIFavAZxYLgEA/640?wx_fmt=jpeg&tp=webp&wxfrom=5[/IMG]

The Honor 5X comes built in with a large 3,000 mAh battery and a integrated power-saving technology within EMUI called the Smart Power Manager 3.0 that allows it to have a long battery life compared to other smartphones. With a foundation such as this and its related features, the Honor 5X in your hands is able to do more.

If you feel that your battery drains quickly, there are some tips you can employ to ensure that your 5X lasts even longer.

Tip 1

Under normal day-to-day usage, selecting Smart Power Saving is recommended for everyone. To save more power, you should close apps that are not in use, as leaving them running on the background will drain the battery quicker.

Guidance: Tap the square button on the navigation bar to clean up some or all the apps running in the background.

Power saving and cleaning up apps running in the background are the most basic requirements for power saving. If you will like to further reduce power consumption and extend battery life, the following contents will be useful to you.

Tip 2

As the display uses the most battery, reducing the screen brightness and setting it under the automatic brightness setting, as well as reducing the sleep duration time will improve battery life.

Guidance: Under Display, deactivate Auto-rotate screen to reduce the use of gravity sensor.

At the same time, shorten the time for Sleep when there is no operation, and change Brightness to Automatic brightness will also reduce power consumption. Power consumption will be reduced if the above three criteria are achieved. In addition, Display network speed will also increase power consumption and deactivate it if needed.

Tip 3

By default the EMUI system will set your Wi-Fi network settings on during sleep, but by setting this to your usage preference, the user will be able to improve battery life.

Guidance: Under WLAN Advanced settings you can choose "Only when plugged in".

If high-speed network is not necessary, the users can only select 2G in network mode.

Tip 4

Audio plays a part too. Under Sound, by switching the necessary alert tones like vibration in the navigation bar will consume more power in the background. Location services can also be switched off as this will consume more power as it searches for your location constantly.

Guidance: Under Sound settings, you can disable"Vibrate on Touch", and change the "Location Mode" to battery saving under the Location Access.

You can also select the low power consumption mode through WLAN or data traffic. Activate GPS when there is need for navigation.

Tip 5

Protected Apps and features like Automatic Startup during Power On can be set up on your preferential needs. The less protected apps, the more power can be saved.

To conclude, you can compare what I have mentioned with your current Honor 5X settings and change the settings in order to enjoy long battery life ahead!

amazing device.

getting excellent battery life.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] rogconnect:
Seriously, its not so much of the battery issues of Honor 5X, its the memory management of the EMUI. I can't have my Chinese Social App running. Its lags so much as I suspected this device is built from China XD. I tried it for a month as main driver and its disappointing. If you have smartwatch connecting via bluetooth and some Social Apps running. You can misses some phone call as the phone will freezes till the time you need a reboot.I always using Sammy and LG.This is my first Chinese device. And its not my main driver now and its run better. I considering getting the 2016 flagship soon. Should I go for the mate 8, P7 for the Chinese Devices or stick with LG G5. But very disappointed with my G4 hardware problem. And also the cheap WiFi chip they have in Honor 5X can't even have 5G connection.

Look @ the WiFi connection speed. Its can't even optimize my full Home Internet FiOS speed of 150/150 Mbps.

And here my main driver WiFi connection

hi,

for use with Hackintosh, I installed a Dell DW1510 (Broadcom BCM4322) Wifi PCI card in my ThinkPad X220. It only barely works with Android x86 / Remix OS.

Out of the box, it is detected, Mac Address is displayed and it can be enabled, but it searches for wifi networks forever.

Using Linux, I installed newer (closed-source) firmware files. Now it does find wifi networks, but only 5GHz / -ac ones. Beside that, it's extremely slow (only getting about 4Mbit download, normally around 50Mbit). I know the "open-source" b43 is slower than the propietary broadcom-wl one, but it wasn't THAT much on Linux.

Is it possible to use/install the propietary broadcom-wl driver, or getting at least 2.4GHz working and more speed (It was around 15Mbit on Linux with b43)?
