Well, those are either stuff from the water or stuff from your phone that is washed and gathered to form some dangerous circuits (much like coffee water rings, that things tend to get to the edge of waters). These stuff may conduct electricity, hence making your phone goes nuts. Search and destroy all these 'crap' :) Good luck. Don't try the phone unnecessarily until you are sure that all 'crap's are gone. One of these 'crap' may potentially kill your phone (ok, it is usually not that serious, but just incase :) )

Sad story, I was lucky with similar story, but much cheaper. I left my Nokia BH-600 Blue Tooth Head set in my panties and give them to washing-mashine. 40 degrees program for 30 minutes ended by wringing on 800 turns/minute :(

When I found it in the pocket I just left it to wither up and it didn’t worked. So I tried to re-charge it and WOW it works and the battery has normal capacity. :D

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:
I am unable to download an offline map. No matter what area I choose, the download process begins and progresses about 60%-90%. I cleared Map's cache, but that did not help. I am not sure if it is safe to delete Map Data as I get a warning about deleting account data. I did uninstall all Map updates and offline download works. When I re-apply updates, offline no longer works and the downloaded area is deleted. Any suggestions to get an offline area downloaded?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mven45:
I use Offline Maps v1. 1.19 with PA, NY, and NJ downloaded on a G3 with 16GB internal storage and 64GB external. Works fine. Need to know the details of how you are configured and what your trying to do to assist.

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

On Marshmallow btw.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:
I was referring to the system app Google Maps (9.22.1). The option to save an offline area does not work for me. Once opening Maps, click the three bars upper left, then select offline areas. No matter what area I pick, no matter how big or how small the area is, the offline area never completes download. Typically somewhere between 60%-90% the download fails.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:
Can any confirm if they can successfully download an offline area with a rooted XT 1540? I have followed all of the advice on the Google forums (deleting app data, re-installing updates, and the and the same for Download Manager), but nothing has worked. All downloads seem to fail when about 89% complete. I don't want to do a factory reset until 6.01 is available.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mven45:
I just downloaded my home area from Google Maps offline. It was a small map, 54MB in size, and didn't offer me a choice as to where I wanted it to download. I assume that to mean it is stored internally. Check your map size and available storage.

---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 AM ----------

By small map, I mean 25mi x 25mi
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
I also have downloaded offline maps recently with my XT1540.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:
Thanks for confirming. The offline areas I am trying are as small as possibly allowable. I have tried several locations. I have 9GB available for internal storage. I have tried deleting all data and cache for Maps and Download Manager. (I have noticed a few Mbs of cache after an offline area download failure) In addition I removed cache from all apps. Removed all updates for Maps.

I am able to save offline areas with all Maps updates removed. Once all Maps updates are installed, the download process times out after reaching 89% of the down load is completed. I am open for other suggestions. I will try a factory reset after 6.01 is pushed out.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
The maximum size of the downloaded maps has to be under 1.5GB but I'm guessing you're under that. Since the offline maps are deleted automatically after 30 days and and there are so many other limitations, I've been exploring alternate route and map apps with offline SD card storage.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:
The maps I am trying to download are very small. I have been searching for alternative offline maps as well. They all seem to have their pros and cons. I would appreciate if you have any recommendations. I am currently trying MAPS.ME. I like that it lets you store maps on the SD Card, however, it does not provide good routing and does not have a great POI list. Many of the others I have tried seem to be costly or not very stable.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
Right now I'm using Sygic GPS Navigation & Maps. It really works well and doesn't take a bit of internal space. It installed to internal but i moved it to SD with no problems. The downside is the cost to keep premium. I'll try it awhile after the free premium trial ends and see if it's still OK using the free version.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:

I use an ad blocker. When restoring default host file there is no issue downloading offline areas. Just curious now what blocked address is the culprit?

I know that many people will swear that Anker batteries are very high quality ones, but my experience differed from that. After about 9 months, the batteries did not do too well.

I would buy them again provided that you get a warranty and actually use it if the need arises.

you need to add the lidroid-res apk to the apktool folder in userdata.

or if i recall use

apktool -f lidroid-res.apk

it fails to decompile because it misses "various framework items"

Sometimes it can be due to using different framework-res.apk's

[MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] Awesome work! Do you intend to work on the aosp boot.img much or are you more invested in the miui one (or is it mostly the same project with not many differences between the two types)?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=7150090]Sleepy_Augie[/MENTION] There is little difference between the 2 flavors so it is easy to keep them in sync;)

All,

I cannot possibly know what customization other devs are adding to their boot.imgs and whether or not that will make their ROMs incompatible with my boot.imgs. I will try to keep the AOSP version up with current developments while still keeping it "Generic".

Could you include Selinux: Permissive? Zram is better than swap built-in miui ?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=7206918]efr07[/MENTION] The beauty of not embedding tweaks - you can choose to be permissive or enforcing in your init.d script rather than me dictating it to all.

setenforce=0 or 1

and to answer the second part....

MIUI uses what could be called a "dynamic swap" system utilizing 4 zram swaps of variable size. The system prioritizes what gets access to that extra memory and what doesn't. No surprises - Xiaomi apps get priority over your own apps. The complexity of this system is so great, it would negate any performance advantage completely but it does make the Xiaomi apps more tenacious than other apps.

First things first thank you so much for the effort you have done improving Redmi Note 2,

But I have some question if you please,

I have Miui 7.2.2.0 Lite on my Redmi Note 2 Prime (2.2 ghz) (Rom Link http://en.miui.com/thread-244684-1-1.html)

I have flashed the file as img to boot, and I have done as you said until the int.d thing, I went to #/system/bin/ and I found sh file and opened it in text editor, deleted everything in it and paste what you mentioned, till now we are ok with the device.

I did not find the files that you said I should delete from /vendor/lib, so I went to /vendor/lib64 and deleted the first file, After I deleted it suddenly Root Explorer shut off and whenever I open it again I cant find anything, just blank screen with its symbol and name above and nothing else. Tried to delete Root Explorer and install again and nothing new. Please help, Have I done everything okay? and what should I do to fix this thing and continue deleting the remaining files?

Thank you.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] tonydeli7:
[MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] delete folder /system/etc/radv <- do you mean radvd?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=6988990]aghr11[/MENTION] I think that you did not understand the method to create the init.d script and modified an important file instead. You will have to replace that script file you blanked with the original or restore from a good backup and try again. The list of files for deletion is

only if they exist

in the location as described. If you have enabled any fingerprint settings for some obscure reason, you will probably get locked out of your phone.

Now to creating the script.

Using a text editor, create a file named 01tweaks in /system/etc/init.d folder.

Paste the text (including the first line #!/system/bin/sh) into this file. Leave a blank line at the bottom of the file and make sure your editor is set to Unix end-of-line characters (not Windows)

Save the file and give it 0755 permissions (rwxr-xr-x)

[MENTION=468748]tonydeli7[/MENTION] Yes, typo I will fix..... done It is a folder to receive advertising pushed to your phone courtesy of Xiaomi!!!!
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] tonydeli7:
Yeap, just saw the conf file... WTF are they doing?!

By the way, thanks a lot for this kernel! Nice work!:good::good:

UPDATE:

I edited the latest Multirom Stable (7.2.1.0) and added your kernel&tweaks,deleted the files and everything works great!

I only changed the touchboost value to 806000 :)
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] algida79:
jajk, many thanks for this brilliant work!

IIRC, your personal preference for a base ROM with the best behavior and performance with these tweaks was v7.1.4.0 (or was it 7.1.3.0). Is this so or has anything changed? My RN2p is long overdue for an update, still on dev 5.10.29! :eek:
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Dnxss:
If a have a weekly miui based on Miui V 7.3 beta, will it work?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=468748]tonydeli7[/MENTION] Did you give it some time on touchboost 403? I find it does not contribute to lags perceptibly.

[MENTION=4255601]algida79[/MENTION] The most bug free ROM I have come across is MR7.2.30 ID (ported from reno3). I think I had a link to that in the Skinny thread.

Don't load the preloader, uboot or logo from this ROM - edit the updater-script to remove flashing of these. You will need to do an intermediate flash of 7.1.3 or 7.1.4 using SP Flash tool to get all the partitions the way they need to be if coming from an ancient ROM.

[MENTION=5669707]Dnxss[/MENTION] Yes it will still work.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] tonydeli7:
[MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] Half an hour I think. I had no lag,just my preference :)

The phone usage is mostly surfing,facebook,twitter,music playback etc etc with no gaming.

GPS SYNC 3G all on..

Installed app count is around 120..

Includes six reboots while testing ZRAM(disabled it), and if it's good to deactivate Whetstone app.

I also used the app Autostarts to disable useless receivers for many apps like FB etc,and disabled Mail,Voice Unlock,PicoTTS.

I am satisfied..[emoji14]
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=468748]tonydeli7[/MENTION] Whetstone app is a source of a lot of spyware but is not a straight forward removal but you will find that out...

can then also delete:

/etc/WhetstonePermission folder

/system/lib

libwhetstone_jni.so

libwhetstone_sdk.so

/system/lib64

libwhetstone_jni.so

libwhetstone_sdk.so
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] tonydeli7:
Yeap, I searched a bit. I am using the Multirom Stable and after flashing the kernel,Whetstone crashes sometimes.

Didn't notice anything weird after freezing it..

This rom doesn't have the line

persist.sys.whetstone.level=2

in the build.prop for some reason.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=468748]tonydeli7[/MENTION] Whetstone is linked to the mcd service to make things harder to unravel as in all Xiaomi apps. The boot.img disables mcd which is why you will see Whetsone having a fit sometimes. Completely removing Whetstone is a very good thing to do - it may give you an FC on Battery app, delete that too - it chews battery and does not affect normal operation!!!

Anyone wanting to increase their privacy, rename /system/xbin/tunman to tunmanbak. This is the Xunlei data saver/spyware tunneling manager. It is disabled from starting in the boot.img but will still run if called upon like all of the disabled services - they still exist, but not started by default. Make sure it is disabled in the Download Manager Settings;)

There is another service /sbin/mdbd that appears to be a method of tunneling over usb connections to gain access to a network and on to P.R.C. It is disabled in the boot.img already but I will rename this one in a next revision to be doubly sure it will not start.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
Discovered an issue of some apps not recognizing internal sdcard so new versions posted to fix this plus rename /sbin/mdbd to mdbdbak to prevent it from being started after boot. See previous post for the reason.

Back up your internal sdcard contents if you flashed the original images -

you will loose everything on sdcard0

.

No action needs to be taken if this is a first-time flash.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Sleepy_Augie:
[MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] How come this version doesn't just dump sd to folder 0? What was merged between miui and pro boot images?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=7150090]Sleepy_Augie[/MENTION] It is a very complex issue how Android provides a virtual filesystem for SDCards. I thought I could implement it in a simpler fashion as per Android 5.1 which worked well except apps like the stock Contacts are stuck in the dark ages and are hard-coded to still look for the emulated/0 folder for the internal sdcard - not storage/sdcard0.

So going from stock to my original mod leaves an orphaned folder which becomes named 0 because it belonged to user 0. Going back the other way the folder representing access to sdcard0 simply disappears.

The real location of files that appear on the internal emulated sdcard is always /data/media. All other folders that appear to be the same thing are only symlinks to this. Make sense:silly:
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] aghr11:
Hey [MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] ,

Thanks for the reply, but I have done exactly everything you said and followed all of your steps, but after one day using it, I do not notice any change on battery life, it is still so bad, I have tried everyrom (and every way that was suggested from other users on XDA and MIUI forums including every battery calibration thing) I came across since I bought my RN2p and the maximum battery life I got is nearly 4:30 hours on screen!! After I flashed the boot.img I noticed a slightly more speed booting up the device, the performance is the same (which is good because am all satisfied about the performance except for the battery life).

I have flashed smiui today and it's slightly better consuming energy than the previous ones...

Maybe I have done something wrong doing the 01tweaks thing, if you can upload me yours so I can try paste it in /system/etc/int.d folder, if that will work, then I will be so thankful to you. And if you have any suggestions that I could do to improve and enhance the crazy energy draining then I will be more thankful.

[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] MOVZX:
Proximity Sensor fixed, thank you.

Is tune2fs dangerous? Since I personally add tune2fs tuning for /cache /data and /system.

CM with Skinny Pro kernel is almost perfect. The only downside of using CM is RAM, Stock MIUI could achieve 6000+ score for RAM while CM can only achieve 5000+.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=7373417]phunghai110[/MENTION] There are no changes that will cause a bootloop. Is it a bootloop or stuck during boot? Try wiping cache and dalvik but it is not normally required.

[MENTION=4460588]MOVZX[/MENTION] What I am saying is that tune2fs line in init.mt6795.rc file does not seem to run at all. I could be wrong? It should be picking up faults on /data which it does not.

Geekbench will give you a more meaningful and repeatable benchmark;)
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] MOVZX:
Ok, so I will reenable e2fsck & tune2fs for my setup. As fas as I remember, if tune2fs running after FS is mounted, it gives me error so that I put e2fsck & tune2fs before mount_all command inside mt6795.rc and it runs well.

I think CM could be pushed harder with Skinny Pro kernel, here is the latest test with AntuTu. Will try GeekBench and report later.

Here is the report for GeekBench:

[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] MOVZX:
Today's report from me:

CM Skinny Kernel combined with any ROM build by lokjianming causes extreme overheating when playing any 3D Games like Real Racing 3, GTA San Andreas, Gangster Vegas, Modern Combat, etc. The phone would raise up to upper thermal level then screen goes white and I should pull my battery out to turn it off and I put my phone in front of a fan to cool it off.

I really want to see the logcat but I realise the debugging is disabled permanently by the kernel.

PS: CM build by danielpinto8zz6 is ok, no problem.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=4460588]MOVZX[/MENTION] Skinny does not disable thermal throttling or thermal performance profiles. For the CM version, Skinny does not process the init.hermes.power.rc script so that you can choose what to do for yourself in init.d scripts. There are some ROMs that do not thermal throttle in both AOSP and CM flavors - you obviously found one of them.

I suggest limiting the max cpu freq to 1 step below max (or 2 for the 2.2GHz) to avoid such a potential overheat situation if you want to run ROMs without a functional thermal throttle.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] MOVZX:
I'm testing it currently, thanks for the suggestion.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Mockingbird:
Hello there.

How is the ram usage compared to stock using a skinny boot img? I'm getting really tired of the poor ram management on my current rom(sMIUI 6.3.17).
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] MOVZX:
I suffer no more about the RAM because Android manages RAM pretty good, but the key is our behavior, how we use the app and how we multitask the phone.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=4560682]Mockingbird[/MENTION] If you do things right, you will end up with around 1200MB free. The key is to delete or freeze apps and remove autostart receivers from apps that you don't need running all the time or ever. Then, because Skinny removes the complicated and pointless MIUI memory management (mcd services), you can now set a sensible zram swap drive to increase the apparent RAM available and also put some sensible values into the lowmemory killer - just like Android intended;)
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] MOVZX:
I edited the ramdisk again, and now I can see the thermal properly, overheating problem is gone.
