[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcelteaching:
I have bought a new SP, and gave my last one to my wife, so I have a chance to start fresh.

I can't stand the bloating on the phone, and would like a light, fast lollipop ROM on it that still lets me use Sony's photo apps if possible. This one seems right for me (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-sabermod-t3219230).

The problem I am experiencing is that when I go to various builds, I am having trouble understanding the instructions, and how to do what they are asking. I understand that I need to break the bootloader first, and then do something after that, and then install drivers, etc.. but I feel like a bit of an idiot because I just don't get it.

The instructions for one that I was thinking of putting on reads as follows :

* place the phone in fastboot mode, and flash the boot.img from the latest build: sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img

* enter Cyanogen Recovery

* flash the TWRP zip you downloaded via Cyanogen Recovery.

* shutdown and reboot into TWRP recovery.

* wipe/format /system /data /cache /dalvik.

* flash latest available build, and flash gapps.

* reboot and you're done.

Questions

- How do I flash the boot.img from the latest build? What is boot.img? What does "sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img " mean?

- How do I enter Cyanogen Recovery? What is it? Where do I get it?

- How do I flash the TWRP zip?

I could go on. I really need a step by step guide, or some systematic way to educate myself.

Can you suggest a ROM with a step by step guide, or one with a youtube video showing how it is done (walkthrough) or similar?

make backup of drm partition, unlock bootloader then start flashing roms
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] canadasteve:
so i got one of these mk809iv red slider one seems to be different from everyone else i look at

its got kitkat 4.4.2 ktu84q 20150330 . 192513 test keys its got a rk3128 and rtl8723bs wifi everything works well enough

but to start its got a small 1gb user.img and a huge 5.6gb userdata.img makes no sence ran out of app space right away so heres where my problems started

looking for more info i found out this seems to be a clone as most have different wifi chip and even different main chip as most are rk3188

what i wanted to do was change user and userdata basically swap the sizes no luck then i tried to find alternate software not much luck everything i find seems to be for a different version

next i tried dump firmware no luck i can dump partions but not a complete image file

next i tried to root it no luck again

seems this model mounts its partition as mmc and as such non of the romdump stuff works errors out when it cant find /proc/mtd

so if anyone else needs the stock ktu84q 192513 from 20150330 i got it in partion files that i can give

but if anyone else has one of these and came up with any solutions it would be great

I successfuly root similar stick (mk809iv with rk3128) with an app on the playstore. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quillapps.root.android.without.computer&hl=fr) This app suggest another app in fact that is Kingroot. Not kingoroot.

Maybe you can help me... Do you know if it's possible to install twrp on this stick? Or just reboot into recovery? I tried to boot into recovery mode but it stuck with the android guy with a red triangle and a ! in it. Thank you!

Hi All,

Since Micromax Canvas A1 has only 4 GB Internal storage and after Marshmallow 6.0 update it is possible to convert External SD Card to Internal One.

Please inform as to How many maximum number of Apps can be installed on your Canvas A1 ?

A list of all the Apps installed on the Internal SD Card(not phone storage) would be much appreciated.

Thanks
[Micromax Canvas A1] Rexspidy:
That depends on App sizes after installing,if you are on Marshmallow just use your SD card as internal storage for more space or if your phone is rooted you can done it by making a small partition on your SD card for internal storage with help of Apartion and link2sd app.
[Micromax Canvas A1] Helll7:
Its depending on your sd card and app size ..

Normally i used 30-35 apps on canvas a1

Well true to form, it seems replacing the stock issued file manager , along with getting rid of the numerous setup wizards, has resulted in a dead/no-functioning home key. Yay. Joy. WOO-HOO .... :crying:

:silly:

So does anyone know which file i need to edit, to force the "proper" functioning of the home button?

What happens is the setup wizard for the phone actually seems to assign itself as a home launcher.

I found that out when i was checking to see if i could get around the wizard, and sure enough in settings/home

setup wizard appears in the listing as a home launcher launcher. I've managed to get rid of alot of the sony stuff not related to

the camera. I love the camera, it's so camera-y :D

Okay back on point here, Where is the file to correct the situation with the home button and what should be the correct setting?

alternately a build.prop adjust would do as well.

Thanks.

m

Also , has anyone been able to locate the japanese keyboard's apk on the international unlocked version?

Okay and here is the logcat blah when home key is hit,

I/WindowManager( 1557): [COLOR="Red"]Not starting activity because user setup is in progress[/COLOR]: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.HOME] flg=0x10200000 }

EDIT- Sorted momentarily, the setup process includes the gapps wizard, whether you complete it or skip it, but you must complete it or skip it.

When i find the flag and/or file that says "Hey this is done" I will post the name of the file and/or flag.

So far I've followed the directions from Heisenberg's guide:

fastboot flash bootloader C:\bullhead\images\bootloader-bullhead-bullhead-xx.xx.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio C:\bullhead\images\radio-bullhead-bullhead-xx.xx.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash boot C:\bullhead\images\boot.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash cache C:\bullhead\images\cache.img

fastboot flash recovery C:\bullhead\images\recovery.img

fastboot flash system C:\bullhead\images\system.img

fastboot flash vendor C:\bullhead\images\vendor.img

then I flashed TWRP 3.0.0.0. Do I need to do anything else to make sure my phone doesn't encrypt itself on first boot?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvinhochun:
You have to change fstab.bullhead on the ramdisk to disable forced encryption. If you flashed the SuperSU beta 2.6x zip it should automatically change that for you.

I just decrypted mine by doing that, along with some other magic unrelated to your situation.

That said, if you are worried you should backup the userdata partition beforehand so you can restore it easily if anything goes wrong.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom____:
So let's say I used MHC19J and I didn't happen to flash SuperSU, so that fstab.bullhead wasn't changed and my previously unencrypted data was then encrypted and now when I boot into TWRP 3.0.0.0 it asks for a password I don't have... is there nothing I can do to make TWRP able to access my data now?

I made a backup before applying any changes, of course. But that was a nandroid, which TWRP puts on my /sdcard, which just got encrypted, so TWRP can't access it?

What's my best approach in my current state? I wouldn't mind restoring from the nandroid, and re-upgrading to MHC19J (making sure I flash SuperSU that time), if I could only get to the nandroid.

----EDIT (1 hour later)----

Somewhat fixed by flashing back my old system, vendor, cache, radio, boot. Then in TWRP I was able to restore from my nandroid.

However, it now appears I'm encrypted? In Settings --> Security --> "Encryption" says "Encrypt phone" "Encrypted". I'm certain I unencrypted way back when I unlocked my bootloader and first rooted.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobby janow:
Do you remember formatting userdata after you unlocked? If not then you were encrypted by default.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom____:
Back when I first unlocked my bootloader I did, per Heisenberg's step 3 (this was back with TWRP 2.8.7.0). This time no, I didn't (I wanted to keep my data). I suppose I'll have to if I want to re-unencrypt. But then to keep my data I'll have to get my nandroid off my phone and then put it back after the format, which I'm not eager to do.

For now I'll just see how encrypted will work as I wait for this whole MMB29V vs. MHC19J and TWRP 3.0.0.0 accessing an encrypted data partition situation to become more clear.

For those following along, if I understand correctly, the problem was booting into system before having SuperSu modify my boot image to disable forceencrypt.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] UniqueNate:
Just got my phone yesterday. Having the same issue. Also, randomly when unlocking the phone with my fingerprint it will ask me for my pin instead. I assumed maybe my finger was sweaty or wet, but that's not the case because I can lock the screen immediately after putting in the pin and use my fingerprint and it unlocks. So what's up with that? I thought the pin was a backup just in case. I rather use my fingerprint all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] chrispr.:
Same problem here, didn't have any issues with the galaxy s5 though, 2 steps forward 3 steps ?, with the s5 was a different way of scanning the prints and also it used the nok nok passport thing for what I don't know but I downloaded on the s7 to see if it helped but no luck... ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] UniqueNate:
It's definitely a PayPal issue. The fingerprint scanner doesn't even come up as an option even though you choose REMEMBER and Fingerprint when logging into websites through the stock Galaxy browser. I went to another site and it worked. So its PayPal. Hopefully they get it working. I don't know if it's a Marshmallow thing or working with the newly released device.

So there's been a lot of different threads about the march updates, and encryption and twrp. At the moment, I am on the Q build with twrp 2.7.8.2, stock rom decrypted with root and xposed. So if I wanted to update, should I use the V build or the J build? people have been saying there are issues with decryption in TWRP 3.0.0.0 using the J build, but if I'm decrypted should i flash the J build?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
Use the V build for now until the issues are worked out. Upgrading later is alot easier than downgrading.

It still has march security updates but J build includes alot of fixes for the device like sluggishness, wifi etc.

Looking online this is one of the newest and most complete ROMs i have been able to find.

home button does not work (fixed)

Fixed home button by editing Generic.kl from /system/usr/keylayout changed key 102 to HOME and key 172 to MOVE_HOME

notification ring on constantly

No sd card seen

Rear camera does not work.

The SD does not show up, Under storage both mount and erase are grayed out. I've tried replacing the Vold file and editing platform.xml in permissions and running various commands via adb found online meant to try to mount the SD manually.

The SD card is my main concern but any assistance with any of these bugs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I would like to integrate M$ Office Communicator into a ROM but I am struggling converting the original .cab file into a working package....

I have extracted the contents of the .cab file and created a .rgu and initflashfiles.txt files. The files get installed and it will run but I can't get the Today Screen stuff to display. I know there is a conflict with the 'rtcdll.dll' file since if you have VoIP then it already exists, however I am cooking the rom without VoIP (since it doesn't fully work). I have modified the .rgu to reflect the files are now in \Windows but the Today Screen stuff won't display. I have checked the registry entries and the files are there after the ROM has been installed and they are?

Any success with making a package from this? I had another play around but didn't get anywhere. I think the installation must create some additional files and/or registry changes that doesn't happen when it's installed as a package.

Do any ROMs have this in by default? i.e. not cooked ones but ROMs released by mobile operators or manufacurers? Maybe backward engineer it?

I did have it working briefly, however I am not privileged enough to have GPRS enabled on my company SIM so I only managed to test it when I temporarily rigged a Wireless AP up in the office.

I spend very little time actually in the office so unless I can be bothered setting up a few VM machines with Exchange & OCS on I am unlikely to test it further...

I never managed to get it into an OEM package either, if anyone has one or wants to build one that would be good....

The latest version seems to be Office Communicator Mobile 2007 (2.0.387.0) from September 2007 and it says it is compatible with OCS 2007:

Update OCS

I know this is old but you need to disable the client version filter on OCS. If you're connecting over the internet, then you need to do this on your Access Edge server (under Application properties). Just lower the version to 2.0.1.0 and you should be good to go. M$ hasn't released a later version even as of this post (unless you know something I don't). I asked them about it and they know (sounds like a new version is being worked out).

I have OCM 2007 working fine with our OCS 2007 Server either in the Office on the private network or via the Internet (GPRS or public WiFi). What I want to do is include OCM in my ROM so I don't have to manually install it each time I flash a new ROM. It looks like I am missing one final registry entry but I still haven't found it.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdawg0024:
Ok So I have an AFTV ver. 1 Running Fire OS 5.0.5 and Kodi 16.0. and all of my media files will micro stutter (doesn't matter if the file is High Bitrate or not) my settings are as follows:

I have Audio Pass through enabled with Resample rate set to Low (my receiver can handle DD and DTS and the sound comes out as expected)

I have also set in video settings set display to match source refresh rate (i have tried both "Always" and "On Start/Stop")

For the Most Part the video files play fine, but every so often the file will micro stutter. All of my files are h.264 mkv's (either blu-ray rips or HD TV shows) The TV shows seem to do it the worst. I have searched the web for answers and can't figure it out. One theory that I have is that the AFTV can't output and any other refresh rate than 60hz so that is causing a problem with things that were filmed in 23.97fps or 29.97fps. If anyone has any advice for me I would really be thankful.

I may be making a big deal out of nothing, but coming from a WD TV Live box I didn't have any problems like this, don't get me wrong I wont be going back to the WD now that I have the speed of KODI, but I just want to know if its a limitation of the Hardware.

Edit I have come to the acceptance that it is a limit of the hardware. I grabbed my roommates FTV ver 2 (also updated to Fire OS 5.0.5 and running KODI 16.0 and configured it the exact same way) ran the same files and they played flawlessly. Looks like I will be upgrading.
