[Greenify] Johnny Wong:
I retract my statement implying that Greenify is no longer relevant with Nougat. I reinstalled Greenify today so I can freeze my LG TV app because it wants to be a battery hog. Seems to be working. I'm running Greenify in non-root mode since I also enjoy the convenience of Android Pay and Google has decided to take the fun out of having an unlocked bootloader.
[Greenify] harykishan:
I feel battery drain in much much faster in idle mode when greenify is set. My Moto X play has 3630 mah battery, and was not even lasting a full day with greenify. From 3 days i uninstalled it and testing my phone without any battery saving apps. It is much better and the drain in idle mode is improved!!!
[Greenify] DB126:
Hard to assess such claims without supporting data. Not saying you're wrong but root cause can not be determined w/o evidence.
[Greenify] harykishan:
These are the observations on my specific rooted device. Looks like N is managing good enough the battery. Also, with Greenify running and most of the apps set to greenify, everytime 3-4% of battery is drained when i do a couple of quick reboots.

But without greenify or any other xxx-ify apps, its just 1% everytime, it is tested for multiple times.

Possibilities are plenty that others may have experienced it differently.
[Greenify] DB126:
Thanks for the additional detail. Agreed Nougat does an admirable job on its own - a point I have emphasized in various forums. Same with Marshmallow with exception to quieting motion detection which allows the device to enter and remain in doze in real world conditions. It's amazing how many knobs and dials folks want to turn convinced that Android must be managed. Those fool's at Google clearly have no idea what they are doing (cough). Also applies to most (albeit not all) stock ROMs and kernels. If native works use it with no augmentation.

As for Greenify, simply having it installed with default settings should impose no burden. However, it does offer the ability to detect and quiet 'rogue' apps that may illude native doze. In many cases I will use Greenify to identify bad actors and then take other actions to curb unwanted behavior (eg: disable broadcast receivers). I typically have a small handful (~2-4) in Greenify's list that I can hibernate on demand via shortcut or notification.

I suspect your observations were biased by having a large suite of Greenified apps - especially if not operating in 'Boost' mode. That indeed will impose a penality as Greenify must deal with each app individually - especially on non-rooted devices.

Not advocating for Greenify - just trying to bring clarity to your observations.
[Greenify] harykishan:
Even with the exact standard settings of greenify, i am observing a rapid drain in my battery percentage!!! Now I can say that greenify consuming more battery in idle mode compared to not having greenify at all. I completely uninstalled it, and now my battery lasts for full day and at 10pm everyday i am still left with 30% of my battery. Hurray....
[Greenify] DB126:
Likely some unique conflict with your device or its configuration. If all is well without Greenify then there is no reason to look back or continue tinkering. Enjoy.
[Greenify] RijuSarkar:
+1

Yeah...greenify does nothing on nougat except causing the battery drain...uninstalled it..now enjoying a good battery life..
[Greenify] DB126:
While Greenify's utility is diminished on Android 7.x based ROMs it can still be beneficial without triggering excess drain. Depends how the app is configured and what objectives you are trying to acheive.
[Greenify] RijuSarkar:
Absolutely untrue...a phone causes more battery drain with greenify installed..
[Greenify] DB126:
As previously stated depends on configuration which may extend to your specific device and/or ROM. Sorry for your unfavorable experience; does not universally apply.
[YotaPhone] TKPL:
I updated the Yotaphone 2 to Android Lollipop (wasn't easy!).

I have one big problem now: the device doesn't recognize when I'm looking at the ink screen, and power button powers on the amoled... Even unlocking through swiping from bottom to top doesn't work. Option is correctly set, I tried to uncheck, reboot, wipe cache and check the option again but it not working well yet.

I have to unlock phone and mirror the screen. When it's done, I can stop the mirroring from the EDP, and then use it normally... lock unlock lock unlock seem to work, but after some time it stops working as should.

I tried stopping the service BackScreenManagerService, but nothing changes.

Don't know what to do :crying:
[YotaPhone] cbcbcvcc:
But it was ok during the tutorial Yota makes you do after installing?
[YotaPhone] TKPL:
Yes it was.

This morning the screens work OK. Yesterday evening no... I had to mirror the screen, and then to stop mirror to make the ink work properly.

I cannot understand why the ink gets stuck: I think phone decides which screen power on on the basis of his position (not the proximity sensor).
[YotaPhone] Blue Fox II:
Hi,

I bought my YotaPhone 2 one week ago an now I have the same issue as TKPL. :(

Do you now have any new bugfixes or information about this problem?

[XDA Assist] BackShooter:
Hello

This is my first post here and I'd really appreciate advice in this matter.

I've spent the past couple of hours searching for an answer but nothing works or totally irrelevant results.

I have a problem where I'd rooted my phone with KingRoot, changed it to SuperSU successfully (restarted my phone several times since then and no issues)

I installed TWRP (only the app) from the Google Play store and that's as far as I got before I powered off my phone to cool down before attempting any installation of TWRP. Powered on my phone and I can't get past the Samsung logo.

Recovery won't come up, Download mode works but restarts itself and volume buttons do nothing to let me confirm download mode and so it's sending me in a loop. Samsung logo and restart again and again. I insert my battery and the first thing that happens is my phone goes on a mission, determined to power itself on only to Bootloop.

No, before anyone suggests it be a hardware issue, it's a brand new phone. There's nothing wrong with the buttons.

If anyone is going to point out the obvious in saying that I'm responsible for rooting my device, I'm aware of this. The rooting procedure was a one-click method which was successful and caused no boot issues after restarting the phone countless times.

Basically:

Bootloop

Can't access recovery

Can't get to Download mode without it getting back into the bootloop.

Using CarHome Ultra, added the phone(dialer) app as 1 of the buttons. Is there a way to make it rotate in car mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Linked Devices:
No, neither does the home screen. It's been a long term annoyance with TouchWiz. You can install other dialers such as true caller and nova both if which are great.
[XDA Assist] soohoso:
Hi everybody,

my problem is this: I have saved my msgstore.db.crypt8 files on my computer before i deleted all apps because the phone was running slow. Now i wanted to reinstall whatsapp and run one of the old backups on it, but i always get an error that says that the backup failed. Is it possible that i deleted the needed key file when i uninstalled the app and now whatsapp is unable to read the chatfiles?

Is there a way to open the crypt8 files at least on my computer to read the chats again? Or is there really no way to open the files if the key got lost?

Im new to this topic but already read a lot about it but didnt find anything that catches my exact problem. I would be very thankful for any help because i would love to retrieve my chat history.

Info: my phone is not rootet yet, last time i tried to root my former phone i made a big mistake and couldnt use it properly as a phone anymore, so now i am very careful with this topic...

I would be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, i bought a wireless charger for my phone and it doesn't work, how can i get this to work? This is the one I bought http://www.ebay.com/itm/QI-Wireless...hash=item51dc0964f3:m:m6YzxgN3ms_BH3VTDYfD8mg
[G3 Accessories] blazerempty:
I bought one around 2 weeks ago. Mine is charging my Phone around 3 seconds and After that it isnt charging for about 5 seconds. I wrote to seller and waiting now for a replacement. Whats the Problem with yours?
[G3 Accessories] AlwaysLucky:
Consider placing this request for help troubleshooting in the G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum, and don't forget to link the charger you bought.
[G3 Accessories] jeffrey268:
What kind of LG G3 do you have? (D855, ls990, etc.)

Also make sure your battery cover has the wireless charging antennas!
[G3 Accessories] kicikk:
It's a known problem if you don't place the coil of your phone exactly above the coil of the charger. You need to find a proper place on the charger to put the phone there.

Another issue may be that you're providing not enough power to the charger itself. From my experience the charger must be at least 1,8A. Any less gives the result you described. Of course also use good usb cables which can transmit more than 700 mA ;) Best would be if you try it with the original G3 charger with original cable.
[G3 Accessories] Youri_soul:
the seller says it is Not compatible with LG G3 as i can see
[G3 Accessories] FaceTheSlayer:
I tried 2 different no-name chinese wireless chargers and had problems with both. Charging would not last more that 2-3 seconds.
[G3 Accessories] shivaagarwal1:
The wireless charger won't work with any general charger. You need to use LG Stock charger that came with your phone or similar output (1.8A) adopter to make it work.

Hit thanks if I helped.
[LG Optimus 3D] D_Vovan_238:
Hi.

My Rom/Kernel don't have init.d support , so I made small simple application

with Tasker App Factory. I know there a lot of apps like Androguide.fr Pimp my Rom, but my app run faster then others , because it run only one shell script . Also it don't have autorun, so you can run your init.d scripts when you want .

Its zip archive not installer, don't try to flash it.

Extract archive content , install the app.

If you don't have /system/etc/init.d folder , run mi app, it will create it.

Copy your scripts to this folder and launch my app other time and it will set correct permissions too all of your scripts before executing them .

I also added my script for O3D(P920) .

Script Features :

1) Mount LINUX SWAP PARTITION.

2)Create SWAP File and Mounting it like Virtual Ram Memory .

3)Dalvik VM and Kernel Tweaks.

4)Mounting EXT4 External SD Partition.

This init.d script optimized for Optimus 3D(P920) , but its possible to run it on any device .

To change script parameters open it in text editor, like Notepad++ or similar,and you will understand everything ;)

My app and script will create logs on Internal SD card.

Sorry now don't have much time , but later will add more instructions and will make the thread better ;)
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZ Eddie:
I apologize for not researching this before posting - have a bunch of other stuff I'm doing.

But ran into some space issues.

What is everyone's favorite method for forcing the stock Moto Camera to save pics & vids to external SD Card? I couldn't find an option in the settings, so I'm assuming there is an Xposed mod out there for it.

Not sure what the best one for Marshmallow is though?

I'm on MM AOSP Dirty Unicorn ROM using the Moto Camera from Play Store (because I love the Moto camera interface).
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
Are you using adoptive storage? If so you will not get the option for a storage location as your device will tell apps that it has only internal storage.

My camera saves pics to my SD card. I use the Xposed module "Pictures2SD". Works like a champ. :D
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZ Eddie:
Are you using the Moto Camera from Play Store and a MM ROM?

It doesn't seem to be working for me.

I enabled this Xposed module and rebooted.

Took a few pics and videos.

But all were stored on the internal SD along with my old pics. :(

I searched the Pictures2SD thread but any mention of Moto is from 2013. lol

I just did it in the settings... With camera open swipe right from the left of the screen, this pulls out the settings. After that swipe up in the same circular fashion that the settings are placed till you see a sdcard, tap on the SD card and it will ask if you want your pictures saved to phone or sd card.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZ Eddie:
Thanks, but that option is not available on the Moto Camera you get from Play Store. :(
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draxin:
I only have one camera app and according to play store it is moto camera... I am not rooted yet, though I am not sure that would make a difference. Anyways, good luck
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZ Eddie:
Yeah, yours is probably the stock one, not the one downloaded from Play Store. They both identify as the same though.

Thanks anyhow. :good:
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bd177:
I know at some point I upgraded the camera from the Play Store. It may have been replaced with the latest MM stock odexed rom though. I checked in the camera settings and there is a setting to pick the SD card for saving pics. So maybe the Xposed module isn't doing anything. :p
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BackDaws:
Go to storage click sdcard and then click the 3dot menu top right and click migrate data, it will now save photos and videos to sdcard
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefoxos:
It's a dirty workaround, not a solution. I would still like to achieve it some normal way. The same app had that option in stock Motorola ROM, even in the latest one. The app from Play store doesn't.

I assume you did the same as I and tried flashing the recovery through odin, this leads to the revovery not working. Just root your phone using CF auto root. You then download the app flashify. Grant root acces.

Download the twrp-3.0.1-0-noblelte.img

Falsh it through flashify and then reboot recovery

When I try to click on links (ex: Kik Points) it gives an error message, "No action associated with this content."
[Android Apps and Games] NetworkAuditor:
That's not necessarily a Moonkik issue, it's most likely some other factor. Perhaps a problem with your defaults? I only say this because my friend had the exact same problem with his stock kik.
[Android Apps and Games] incognitomosquito:
I've had MoonKik installed for a while now but haven't had a chance to test it, but I finally got around to it this weekend. I find that the option to send gallery pictures from camera does show as camera in MoonKik but on the regular version of Kik it still shows gallery. Also, when I go into the Kik sites and search for some apps (like Chat Now) they do not show up, but they do show in the regular Kik.
[Android Apps and Games] NetworkAuditor:
Be sure to read the new update, the Fake Camera was patched by kik a while back. Unfortunately, all old versions of Kik now show "Gallery" when sending camera pics. Also, keep in mind that Moonkik is on an old update (like all other modded kiks), so some of the new features won't be compatible with it.
[Android Apps and Games] incognitomosquito:
Yeah, I saw that a couple days after I made the post. Thanks. I'm looking forward to a release with the Fake Camera working again!

S7 With Game Controller

hello,

I have the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge G935F version and its rooted.

I want to use my game controller with this phone and the gear vr.

But is doesnt seem to work at all. Not with usb or bluetooth.

I tried to connect it with the PS3 controller with usb or bluetooth that didnt work.

Then i tried to connect the Logitech F710 controller with USB still no succes.

Does someone know a way to connect 1 of these controller to the S7 Edge G935F?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Lembo:
Yes, works great.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] thomas3210:
I tried to plug the controller in the usb of the VR. But when i did the phone wont recognize that there is a controller attached. When i plug i directly into the phone i can use my logitech controller but not the ps3 controller. But if you want to use the VR Apps you need to plug the phone in to the Galaxy VR then you dont have the usb port available anymore so you cant plug it in.

So it wont work with the VR apps yet because you cant use the apps without inserting your phone in the Samsung VR. If there is a solution to let the Galaxy VR sent the message to the phone that a controller is attached it probably will work with the VR apps.
