Does anyone know how to fix the issue of SPMC exiting back to the home screen? I am using the SPMC app downloaded from Google Play
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
Has development on SPMC ceased? Not been a release for 3 months.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrruin:
no, why? There has not been a stable Kodi release for a while. AFAIK SPMC has not been released with unstable (beta or RC) Kodi releases. The current stable Kodi release is still 16.1.

If you look on SPMC github you will see that Koying is still happily commiting new fixes to his codebase.

You need to download SPMC launcher version from the spmc website, put an auto launch spm file in your root directory and finally hide leanback launcher with an adb command. I would, just to be safe, also install nova launcher as a backup launcher.

Hi,

I wanted to install CM12.1 in the 1st place but when I tried to install Tangerine Kernel, I got stuck up and the screen went blank with nothing. So I went on with Williams Kernel + CM11 stable version just to be sure that I don't brick my phone permanently.

I have been browsing through the forum, trying to know which Kernel to be used for CM12.1 ? :rolleyes: Helium has versions like L and M which confuses me !

It would be really helpful if you guys clarify my queries,

Can anyone please let me know what Kernel and its version to be used with CM12.1 which is stable for daily use ? :confused:

Also can I go with huashan's latest nightly build for CM12.1 dated 2016-04-02?

Also I have another doubt in the installation sequence. After installing a new Kernel.zip from SD card through recovery, should I go ahead and install the ROM.zip at the same time or should I reboot my phone after installing the new Kernel and enter recovery again to install the ROM ? :rolleyes:

Please help me understand.

I have unlocked bootloader + Williams Kernel + CM11 stable version currently on my phone.

Thanks in advance. :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darjwx:
If you are using a new nightly of cm12.1 don't use tangerine kernel because is outdated. Use helium or the stock one. For helium: M means marshmallow, that's android 6.0.1. You have to use helium L. The l stands for lollipop, Android 5.1.1.

And, if you flash the kernel and then flash the rom zip you will overwrite the kernel, so at the end you won't install anything.

The installation is in the thread but afaik you have to flash first the rom zip and then the kernel.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Srinivasan02:
How old Kernel supports new ROM ?

Thanks [MENTION=6168349]darjwx[/MENTION] for the reply :) . You have mentioned that we need to flash rom.zip followed by the kernel.zip that is needed for the ROM. But how does the old kernel (Williams Kernel in my case) support the new ROM (cm12.1 in my case) ? :eek:

As per my understanding, we need a proper Kernel to run the ROM. Is it not like that ? Also ROM and Kernel shares different memory right ?:confused:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darjwx:
The rom zip comes with a kernel, so flashing the rom zip will install the new kernel.

Yep you can say that. But it's better to say that they are using different partitions.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Srinivasan02:
Thanks bro. I'll try it.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breversa:
Hi,

One of my family member is suddenly having a strange issue with my previous Samsung Galaxy Nexus S GT-I9023 (crespo) running CyanogenMod 11 (cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-crespo) :

When plugged into a computer, the "Activate USB transfer" notification (or whatever it's called in english) no longer shows (it had been working fine before).

Switching storage mode from UMS to MTP or PTP changes nothing.

The computer detects the phone (using dmesg and lsusb). adb shell works fine too and allows me to browse the phone's content.

If I boot to TWRP, I can mount the USB storage just fine.

I double checked on another computer (phone not detected either no USB notification either) and with another cable (same result). I also plugged another phone (different model though) and it worked fine, so the issue lies with the phone, and most probably the booted OS.

Reinstalling CyanogenMod with cache wipe (but not data) changes nothing.

The only thing I haven't tried so far is a full wipe/reinstall, which I'd like to avoid…

Anyone has an idea ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahkah:
You could try the latest "nightly" version.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breversa:
Yes, I could, but what puzzles me is that it DID work in the current version. And since its user is not a power-user (barely smartphone-litterate), I'd like to stay in a stable version.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skielbasa:
I gave up and called T-Mobile. They're sending me a replacement next-day air. Should I try to re-lock this one?

So a bit of background. I was running unlocked the latest stock 6.0.1 without root or custom kernels etc.

Last night I noticed my battery indicator was orange but my phone never entered battery saver. Went into battery saver to turn it back on; the toggle didn't work. I figure that's weird, but a reboot should fix it. I attempt reboot my device. It has been stuck in a bootloop since (at the dots animation). After giving up on it, I left it to charge overnight off (just incase it was some weird low battery thing). Try again this morning and still no luck.

Booted into stock recovery; wiped cache. No luck.

I snagged the latest images from Google and flashed boot and system. No luck.

Downloaded TWRP and used the 'boot' command to boot into it without flashing. Used that to backup the contents of my internal storage.

I flashed the full image (radio, bootloader, boot, system, userdata, cache, recovery). No Luck.

Booted into stock recovery. Did a factory rest and wiped cache. (figured that might initialize the partitions if they were left blank)No luck.

Used the 'boot' command to boot into TWRP without flashing. Wiped /data, /cache, and dalvik cache in TWRP No luck.

I always gave it at least 5 minutes (once as long as 40 minutes) of booting before moving on to the next step. As you can see, I'm long past trying to preserve anything, I just want a useable phone again.

Edit: also weird. I can only turn the phone off via bootloader > power off. Holding the power button always causes a reboot instead of a power off.

Can My Poor N6 Bounce-Back from Seeming Complete Sensor Failure??

Since you're the 2nd to mention USB cable quality, I'll address that:

I have my OEM Turbo Charger and I'm sure I still have the OEM Cable that came with it, but I'm currently using an Amazon Basic Branded 5ft replacement to one my cat devoured. Since it seems that Cable Matters, I'll wrangle the one's I have with me when the Sun's is up.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLBrey:
[SOLVED] Bootloop with Major Sensor Failure

After looking into physical things like cable quality and low-level drivers provided to ROM bakers (neither were my particulate issue), I pieced together a diagnosis and resolution that worked for me:

Validating my /persist partition OR Creating a new ext4 one if it's currupt​

I dropped to TWRP v3 recovery, opened an ADB Shell and checked which partitions were automatically mounted. Alas, /persist wasn't there... it was gone, baby, gone! So I tried to recover it using

e2fsck /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist

Which resulted in a Bad Superblock with no backups. Using an alternate Superblock (ie. e2fsck -b 8197) also failed. So I crossed fingers that my N6 retained specs about how /persist should be and created a fresh ext4 version

make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist

That solved (nearly) everything. I was able to watch live logcat as my N6 successfully booted into 6.0.1 MM again. Everything seems AOK so far, but it's late and I'm about to crash. When the Sun's up again, I'll test it and post once more.

My Zuk has a weird issue.

Randomly, it reboots itself, and when it boots up the image is flickering. If I reboot manually it stops.

Anyone else experiencing this? It stopped doing that with CM13, but in the last days it started doing it again.

I tried a clean flash but it keeps doing that.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valkiry:
It's not really a problem for everyone else Sam, to get the most out of your battery I use Greenify (xposed module, with aggressive doze enabled), Also in conjunction with DS Battery Saver (selecting what profile for given situation ie: [MENTION=408485]work[/MENTION] switching on Agressive mode).

Also down tuning CPU and GPU with custom kernels make all the difference. Plus using dark themed apps also saves huge power consumption.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KillerRay22:
Mines says the same thing. Even before the marshmallow update. It can last more than that but it's really how much you use your phone. Heavy usage I get about 3 hrs on screen time but if its moderate or light use can get up to 4/4.5 hrs on screen time. Which is pretty good.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] timspoon:
What is the sound quality like on the g5 like without the dac. Especially through headphones.

I love using my phones as an mp3 player.

Im upgrading from a g3. The reviews of the v10 sound great regarding sound but i feel it may ge too big for me.

So im possibly looking to buy the g5 with the option of adding the module if i want to.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] lywyn:
The built in DAC is 24bit so a step up from most phones (S7 Edge is 16bit), the B&O is 32bit. You mention the V10 which is possible the same DAC as the G5 or as good as.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeachNYC:
I've searched this and other forums, and tried virtually everything that has been suggested or that I can think of.

I have a Zenfone 2 Laser ZE551ML rooted. Phone has worked like a dream. Installed TWRP 3.0, made and saved several backups in several different places, internally and externally.

Two days ago, flashed a TWRP recovery (I was looking to get back some data I had deleted inadvertently), seemed to go well until it booted, and could not get past the screen that says "Fastboot Mode!!!". Connected to a PC and was able to execute fastboot commands; supposedly can flash various recoveries, and seemingly does so, with everything looking right on the PC, and the phone actually rebooting. But always stops at the same screen.

ADB, on the other hand, shows no devices listed. Every command results in "Error: Missing Device."

I have done everything I can think of...uninstalled and reinstalled the ADB drivers, used different ADB drivers, removed the external SD card, removed the battery (which is the ONLY way the phone will shut off...pressing the on/off button for 10 seconds just results in it booting up to the same screen. Have tried the fastboot wipe command, again it seems to do so, but always comes back to the same screen. Fastboot flashing a recovery.img appears to successfully write a recovery, then goes to same screen upon reboot.

Any ideas? I've only had this phone a couple of weeks, and really like it. But flashing what was apparently a bad TWRP backup seems to have destroyed it.

Thanks so much for any suggestions!

fastboot --cmdline "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot twrp.img

where TWRP.img is the directory of twrp

then you should get back to TWRP

flash TWRP image again in TWRP itself because the method on line 1 only temporary flashes TWRP and will auto discard TWRP after a reboot

I think i get quite a good battery life, but just to be sure, what kind of battery drain values to people get here in battery status? And, how many hours (of typical use) can your wizard survive?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] icezar:
i wanted to asked the same thing... but why didn`t you give us your values...

for BS i dont think is that accurate.

I usually get something like 15mA when in stand-by.

My wizard works 48 hours but if i enable the push email it will only a little over a day.

Also intresting will be to add the base rom. Now i use TNT beta based on 1908

yeah the numbers it puts up dont seem to affect battery life. i always have push email, so mine dies in about a day, but with various roms, i get between 30-50 or so with just about the same battery life... it does take a while for the value to settle though...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] calouro:
The info does seem inaccurate, I normally get ~24-27, after I use the PPC for a little it jumps, then I'll put it in standby and it takes forever to register back down to around 27. It's also been said that battery status actually drains the batt. Can anyone talk to that?

Is there another overclocking program that has the scaling function, but just OC not any of the other crap??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ADB100:
I don't think battery status is as bad as you are all making out. In my experience it is provides a 'good' indication of what's left in the battery - it always looks the same as the Battery option under System Settings so I assume both read the probe the same variables to determine the battery status.

As other people have pointed out though battery life is subjective as it depends on what the device is doing. I quite happily get 3-4 days out of my Wizard, however I don't have GPRS enabled or push email.

I am a light phone user. I only make a few calls a week, and most of my phone activity is sending and receiving texts from my wife and a few co-workers a day. The problem I am having is either the battery in this phone stinks, or there is some process running it down quickly. I keep all network, GPS, bluetooth, syncing, turned off unless I use them. I have installed Greenify as I have on all of my Android devices. This morning, I have received one text. That is it.....have done nothing else on the phone, and started the day on a full charge. It has been up 3 hours and it is at 93%. yesterday, I sent and received about 4-5 texts and the phone went down to around 80 % during the same time period. That was with wifi on, but the phone is set to turn that off when the screen blanks. My phone is on Marshmallow and is unrooted. Is anybody else having the same problems with this phone?
[Verizon LG V10] aerichards1977:
No. I have been off charger for roughly 4 hours. About 1 hr phone calls on BT, 30 min playing games, several texts. 4 gmail accounts all set to sync. 90% battery left. On MM, probably 30 apps disabled. Best battery on a stock phone I have ever got.

Unless I can get the phone back to Lollipop, or somebody figures out how to root the phone with Marshmallow, I am stuck with it as it is.

I turned off wifi and mobile data as soon as I stoppped using them. I also disabled background data. The phone is now at 64% charge. My HTC One Max would have still been over 90%.

Also, how long is your screen time-out? If it is a long time-out and getting notifications turns your backlight on, that might 'reduce the juice' significantly. Just another thing to check-off.
[Verizon LG V10] mcbeat257:
Greenify has no real effect unless you are rooted so I don't reccomend using it. Since you have Android M doze mode should be good enough to use. Also you probably only have legitimately received one text message, unless someone has confirmed that it isn't working. The main issue with Android M that I have is that sometimes phone calls will not go through on my phone, and that's really all there is for glitches on this phone so far.
