Do all what stuff? Flash a boot.img?

Not about better performance. I modify boot.img for system root. Maybe if you don't get it this thread isn't for you. Not everyone wants to be force encryption for many reason
[Nexus 5X General] Javi22:
Well for us is only flash boot.img, but I mean the ones who work for modifying it or patching, like you in this case

Ok so I guess this is not really on my interest as I use custom roms and don't have to deal with this,not having any problem

Thanks ;)
[Nexus 5X General] sfhub:
Originally TWRP could not read encrypted userdata.

Originally there was noticeable slower performance on encrypted userdata vs unencrypted userdata.

Eventually TWRP was able to read encrypted userdata.

After March MHC19J update, for real-world (rather than benchmark) usage, encrypted userdata is not noticeably slower than unencrypted userdata.

So currently there is less reason to have unencrypted userdata.

However TWRP cannot currently read encrypted Android N userdata.

So if you are using Android N, still makes sense to have userdata unencrypted.
[Nexus 5X General] :
Thank you! You rule the South side of XDA. Lol.
[Nexus 5X General] Javi22:
Ahhhh ok ok, now it's all clear. Thanks for the explanation
[Nexus 5X General] Tigerstown:
Well there is more do my modifications to the stock boot.img then a simple word change to change forceencryption to encryptable but they never told you about any of that that I see. Anyways. Next month I will no longer be modifying a stock boot.img As you can't enable permissive enforcing on N like that anymore. So I will be building the kernel for the source code so then I can hard code the commit need to actually allow your phone not to boot to safe phone When permissive is enforcing. There are more then the decryption part that seems to be only one people know about. If you have any questions I'm available.
[Nexus 5X General] Tigerstown:
What do you mean deal with this, deal with what?

Well I'm good at what I do. It takes me all of 3 mins to modify a boot.ing and about 10 mins to compile my own. I do it to give back to the community. I'm not one to just come on xda and take take...last thing I downloaded of xda in long time is Superr kitchen and Aroma installer and busybox zip.
[Nexus 5X General] ubcjack:
Any modified boot.img for n5x final android n release?
[Nexus 5X General] czecx:
Not encrypted

If you need...you can install the final Nougat build with my kernel and only with encrypt disabled.
[Nexus 5X General] hectorviov:
Is this for nrd90m?

yes

[Xiaomi Mi 4i] uchihaobito:
Greetings All... :D

Firstly thanks to all the devs for their awesome efforts in building the Cool Custom Roms Like Ressurection Remix, CM 13, AICP etc for Xiaomi Mi 4i.

I am opening this thread for a reuest.

Devs, can you please make a Modified Stock Miui 7 ROM with Latest tweaks and Xposed Modules for daily usage. As the ROM is very heavy and sucks a lot of battery, thats why asking to make a Debloated,Tweaked and Xposed Modules installed ROM for Daily Usage which can provide a better Miui Stock Experience....PLEASE :victory:

Make it Possible Devs...please :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] D4rkCyb3r:
You can try miui rom by xiaomi.eu, it's lite and regularly updated
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] sharan.nyn:
I have heard some roms like miui pro, sMIUI. Haven't given a try. Maybe you can and tell us how it goes :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] uchihaobito:
Actually i am asking for Tweaked , Deodexed Stock Miui 7 Rom.....

With mods like Pure Performance, MotherofTweaks etc pre included in it :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Toruk.Makto:
+1

It's much needed. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] davtse:
For the most part miuipro fits your bill. It's heavily debloated, with some added tweaks here and there, but i'm not too sure if they have the mods you want. I've been using it for a while and I find it fits my needs better than the custom roms, both in terms of performance and utility.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] uchihaobito:
Can you give me the link for Mi 4i?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] davtse:
just google "miuipro mi4i"

it should be the first link
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] uchihaobito:
Is it worth Flashing?

I mean how is the battery life and performance?

I am currently on Ressurection Remix...

Is it worth flashing it?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] davtse:
like i said, it fits my purposes and i have been on it for a while. if you compare it to the stock bloated roms its quite different in terms of battery and performance. against custom CM and RR roms it may not have as many options for customization. it fits the bill better for someone who wants a stable rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] uchihaobito:
is the battery life and stability better than RR or CM roms?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] valenrock:
U should try this www.smiui.net..ive been on RR and cm13 before, but i reverted to this..you wont regret...

sent by my fingers
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] uchihaobito:
Bro can you give me the link? As there are 2 ROMs and I am getting confused. Please

Also has the battery life and performance improved in this romm?
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaushalg16:
I had rooted my phone which is MOTO E (first generation)XT 1022. After rooting my phone i degraded my phone from lollipop to kitkat 4.4.2. Then I updated my phone to kitkat 4.4.2 to kitkat 4.4.4. After doing that process my phone hard bricked. I tried to recover my phone from hard brick situation but i could not but after running blankflash.bat file "failed <blank-flash:greet device:error reading packets> "is shown. please help me !

I have followed given approach:

What is A Brick?

A Brick Usually Occurs when you Flash a Wrong Firmware on your device or you try to downgrade your bootloader. In both the cases if you see nothing but a blank screen and "qhsusb_bulk" when connecting to the computer (Check Devices and Printers on your PC) .

Prerequisites

Stock Moto E Firmware of your Choice

Motorola USB Drivers

MFastbootv2

Blanflash

RiffBox JTAG Drivers

INSTRUCTIONS

If you have A 64-Bit Processor you'll need to disable driver signature Enforcement. Press F8 while the computer is booting and then choose the option.

Go To Start and search for Device Manager

Plug in your Moto e

You'll See qhsusb_bulk

Now select update driver Software

Choose from the Riffbox Jtag Drivers.

Now you'll see Qualcomm HS-USB QLoader 9008

Unzip the motorola qboot utility and run blankflash.bat

Now Enter into fastboot from your Moto e

You can now flash the firmwares compatible with your bootloader version
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ALPHAWolf96:
You're device is hard bricked (as you know ) & can only be recovered by changing the motherboard by Motorola which will cost you about 2/3 of original price. So your right choice would be to buy a new phone.

WORD OF CAUTION- Never accept any ota updates after you mess up with your bootloader, recovery, root etc. Wait for an official firmware release.

You should've searched a little bit before clicking on that tempting "yes, I'm in" button. There are so many of users just like u who bricked the device in the same way.

I know it feels bad to hear but there's nothing you can do abt it so, chill.✌

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] s4mb4:
here is my issue....

I used to work at an office where 3G was always available with 5 bars. I would plug my 8525 into my laptop and surf away. It was great!

Now, I have a new assigment and even though outside in the parking lot, I get 5 bars of 3G, when I enter the building, the 8525 drops down to EDGE. So now, when I plug into the laptop, surfing sucks.

So here is the question...

I am thinking about buying a Sierra Wireless Aircard 875u from AT&T. My hopes are that an external PC card may provide a stonger attenna so that I can get 3G in this building. Does anyone know if this card is good. Also, i have laptop connect plan on my 8525 sim. Should i just be able to swap my sim into the Sierra Wireless Aircard 875u and get access?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] id242:
When I had your same tethering questions, I found this page to be quite helpful, http://www.gadgetech.info/wireless/cingular/data/
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] s4mb4:
I answered my own question so I will share the answer with everyone :)

Since my 8525 is using the PDA connect with BlackBerry plan UNlimited with Tethereing ($74.99 a month), swapping the sim into any device is possible.

I bought the Sierra 875u, it is a little USB laptop connect card. When i place it in the same place as I normally would place my 8525 to connect to the internet, i now get 3G connections. Only 2 bars, but WAY BETTER than the Edge only connections that my 8525 would give me. So i solved my problem with a $100 AirCard. Swapping the sims is sorta lame, but it works.

I am probably running 20B stock firmware with CrDroid rom on the top of that.

I read that newest 20E stock firmware fixed some problems for Europe Orange users so I thought that flashing this update may fix this issue. Will the internet work on custom roms as well or will I have to stay on stock to have it working?

Sure, I tried changing it many times. It definitely is not an issue, it's more like something related to phone's firmware I think that phone doesn't want to connect to mobile data.

I'm downloading stock 20e firmware and I'll see how it's going to work after install.

I have been offered a Xperia Z5 compact for the P8 (not lite)

What would you guys say?

What advantages/disadvantages are there on each device?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] 00471:
There are my toughts at first sight:

Sony:

-Better CPU

-Better update Support

-Smaller display (4.6)

-rain resistant

Huawei:

-more RAM (2gb vs 3 gb)

-a little more battery

-higher ressolution (HD vs full HD)

-full metal body

-better price

-i dont have Z5 but i thing it has not that good camera
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] majaczos:
Sony also has much lighter and smoother skin. 23MPix camera records much better videos. P8 may have more RAM but because of very aggressive memory management you wouldn't use even 2GB.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] 00471:
Every modern smartphone has aggresive memory since their power incredibly rise every year but bettery capacities are still the same (Samsung S5 started this trend if i remember good), if you didnt have ram management you would be out of juice in half of day, also, you can dissable hibernation of apps in power management. What do you think about lighter skin? do you mean that custom android skin? to be honest, marshmallow has improved emuis speed very nice, but yeah, stock android of sony is a little ligher. In the case of camera, megapixels are not important at all. In Z5, you dont have RGBW sensor, so when youll want to take a shot agains sun or in bright conditions, this will be big downgrade in quality. Bigger ressolution does mean nothing when you have too dark or too bright photos and dont forget, Z5 has not Optic sabilisation too. Its up to you, whats your priorities in smartphone using, its pretty easy decision, if you dont mind lower screen size with noticable lower resolution, worse camera and lower ram, you can think about swapping. Me personally would probably stay with p8 because of camera, better body construction, i dont mind that CPU is a bit quicker then huaweis, and also DTS is better than clear audio too :D
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] silvano2:
agree with 00471

you will not use more than 10 mp with p8 camera

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] majaczos:
P8 may have bigger battery but it also has worse battery life.

[MENTION=4327948]00471[/MENTION]

Every phone has some sort of RAM management, thing is - Huawei's one is the most aggressive. When display goes off it kills everything in the RAM. Whatever you're doing, go for pee, make a sandwich, whetever - all apps will reload. No other Android skin does that. Worse - you can't turn it off, all you can do is to lock every single app in the multitasking menu.

OIS means very wobbly videos with very strong jelly effect on the sides. Z5 has excellent digital stabilization which works much better than any OIS (especially while shooting in 1080p). Recording videos is where every single Huawei fails because of low bitrate (=little details) and pretty bad processing. Even P9 records terrible videos.

Huawei is the worst company in the world in terms of updates. Their 2014 flagship (P7) will never get Marshmallow, P8 is still on Lollipop and it may get an update somewhere between May and June. Or later. And it will be the last update for this phone. Even Samsung is better than Huawei.
