Hey Keithross39,

nice to see that you're still active in XDA and still so helpful, hehehe.

Thank you for redirecting people to my thread, I will make sure to help TheKingDragon as much as possible, his problem doesn't seem to be complicated and in my opinion, he might also have followed your last instructions for the V4 file (which is too loud in my opinion) but he might have set wrong the permissions or didn't restart the phone, lol. Other than that, it could also be that he used a file meant for another android version rather than another phone model, I doubt the G900H will have any difference in the XML file comparing to the G900F, it's not like they have done a "pimp my ride" subwoofer in the 900H, which then would need a few more code lines in the XML :D lol

I will reply to TheKingDragon in my thread in the next hour, I still have a guy to finish helping with a microphone volume problem.

Have a great weekend Keithross39 ;)

TheKingDragon, please post your XML file in the thread that Keithross39 shared with you in the first reply. I will edit it for you, but what is it that you want to increase (boost)? Phone speaker or Headset?

Nice to hear back from you Keith :)

Thank you for bookmarking my thread, I wonder how to make it a sticky on XDA so that people can benefit from it without needing to search through a million other threads, especially that I don't "bump" my thread to the top, lol. Oh, and I have to find a way to correct the title, since there is a "y" missing at the end of "quality", lol.

By the way, I have updated the original post today since it seems some CyanogenMod ROMs don't have a mixer_paths.xml file but rather another file named snd_soc_msm_2x which is situated in : system/etc/snd_soc_msm

I thought this information might be important to share with you since most roms are based on CM and a user might ask you why he can not find the file for the sound ;)

If you have a bit of time, I have a guy that I tried to help with a bluetooth microphone volume problem but I am running out of ideas, maybe you can bring your input or provide new ideas on what can be done, he goes by the name rk2612 and his first post is number 38 on this page:

http://xdaforums.com/general/general/guide-technical-explanation-boost-t3202087/page4

I just finished blindly editing the XML file for TheKingDragon since I don't have a similar phone to try with, lol, let's hope it works fine.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fbsfelony:
Hey guys,

I'm looking for some advice / help to update the tablet.

First of all, the device (Apollo) is currently like this:

- build version 3.1.0

- Safestrap v3.72

- Safestrap Recovery v3.71 (TWRP 2.6.3.1)

- stock slot

- slot 1: custom ROM

- Google Play Store does not work anymore (thus I can't update any apps)

- some apps are working, some aren't at all

- ROM updates are blocked via Xposed 1.3 I guess (?)

Now here's my question - what is the best and safest way to get a working play store again?

This isn't my device, I'm just helping a colleague of mine - so I'm kinda new to the Safestrap stuff. Flashed, unlocked and rooted lots of phones in the past though (so that's why I don't know exactly how the updates are blocked. But I hope that doesn't matter in my case).

The best I can imagine to do is a "simple" update of the Safestrap version and then flashing a new ROM on to the second slot. But maybe there is a better way to get everything working again - maybe without Safestrap at all? As far as I know I am able to unlock the device because it runs on version 3.1.0 - but what are the benefits of unlocking? If I would be able to simply flash a custom ROM I would be happy af and do this right away, but I guess this wouldn't work because of the different partition layouts.

I hope I was clear about my problems - any help is appreciated, thank you very much! :)

cheers, fbs
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
I'd suggest unlocking the bootloader, but with TWRP you'd be able to use one ROM at a time only (at least for the time being), you could use all ROMs with it which is a huge plus IMO.

So on 3.1.0 you should unlock right away, then remove the secondary slot in Safestrap, un-install Safestrap, install TWRP 3.0.0-1 (requires unlocked bootloader), then use ROM of your choice.

Any questions ask first, the HDX is pretty easy to brick. ;)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fbsfelony:
Alright, thank you very much :) I'll try it - if there's a problem, I will ask first, I promise :o

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedyRock:
Hello,

I made a backup of my phone using TWRP. When I try to restore from the backup I created, I get a "E:extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255" error message when it tries to restore the data.

Anyone know the fix for this?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobboW:
Not much information there to even begin.

Did you back up to SD or internal storage? Did you back up everything except SD card? Is the phone set to use system storage as default install and storage space?

IMO, it works best when you don't allow the phone to use the SD card as install/storage, then a backup to SD, including all partitions is easy to restore. Also allow it to write an md5 checksum.

Most likely, you can't fix it now and will have to start again.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] KingKongGR:
Hi Guys,

first of all im new to Android switched from iOS. A lot of years ago ive been on this forum and i loved it always.

Now i got a S7 and already unbranded it with stock rom.

Do you have also issues with the keyboard? i was always tipping with one hand only - sometimes with 2! but now because of the edge on s7 edge i mistakenly press buttons like "return" with my hand. yes i have a small hand.. do you prefer any keyboard which could handle a bit space on the edge?

cheers

KingKong from Greece
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cloxed:
Hey there! I think that's a common issue, so no worries. It usually happens to me when I lay in bed and need to hold the phone from the sides. Touchpal keyboard allows you to resize the keyboard, leaving a gap on the sides as to avoid the issue you mention. Sometimes, depending on the theme, it gets automatically 'Optimized for Edge'. In other themes you need to do that manually with the resize option in the app's settings menu.

Not sure about other keyboards, but some allow you to resize horizontally just like Touchpal, Swype, for instance.

Cheers

Another keyboard must be set.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Ipse_Tase:
I use Google keyboard (greatly improved lately, I used to be a die-hard Swiftkey fan) and you can set it for single hand use...to avoid touching the keys with your RIGHT hand, you can set it up as left-handed.

A case might help too, but if it's tall enough to block the unwanted key presses, it also takes away all the beauty of the curved screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
That used to happen to me all the time before T-Mobile pushed an update that fixed the touch screen sensitivity.

Also Google keyboard is perfect because the keys don't go all the way to the edge.

Hello I really like Note 2's keyboard .. it's the only thing stopping me from installing a new rom .. the problem with other keyboards is that i use the keyboard in English and Arabic and other keyboards have Arabic letters on different order other than the one on pc which samsung's have .. i have tried most of the keyboards and they all have that mistake except for google's keyboard .. the problem with it is the change language key .. i'm more used to swipe to change language

I have an H950 running the 5.1.1 PR ROM. What's the best method to do a factory reset before selling the device?
[LG G Flex 2] superdioz:
if you have really sensitive data before the usual factory reset you can do settings/security/crypt data on phone (i'm not sure what is the exact label in english)

This will prevent data recovery programs to access your data after a "normal" wipe.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xw0lf:
I have LG G3 D855 3gb/32gb, and it work good

but in last times, starting with randomly restarting.. not every day, but sometimes it's happen once/day and other time it's happen more times

what is known reasons for that behavior?

i read that some ppl change battery and that's enough to fix problem

other change stock rom with custom ones (CM or AOSP based)

other ones start uninstall apps one by one until find which one caused restarts...

also, some ppl wrote that LG batteries not like when charged with different chargers (different power) and, therefore, not using LG batteries but different ones... (but compatible)

i can notice that phone not randomly restarts when plugged to charger, only on battery...

and for end.. can i somehow, make diagnostic, find reason for that behavior, if battery is not cause?

what about reading/dump syslogs/logcats... where i must to look to check reason of sudden/random restarts.. what type of errors and where war written in syslogs?

actually, if random restart occur.. does system/kernel have enough time to write something to syslogs... or this is wrong way to check?

i read all over internet forums that many ppl have problems with random restarts using lg g3.. so maybe reason is not in software nor battery, but in hardware???
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlatko98:
maybe its the battery try getting it empty all the way (not empty when the phone wont turn on but empty when it will be at 0volts and 0watts and charging it to 100% (no need for new battery after this :) )

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] dkionline:
If there comes the Honor v8 with 4GB RAM and Kirin 950 to europe, would you still decide for P9 or buy v8?

I mean, the v8 can be overclocked and run like a 955. Im not interested in 2k, cause of possible bad graphics.

Lets wait and see, if the camera settings is the same, but i think it can be ported as soon as the device comes out.

If only the smallest version comes to official selling points, then P9 would be my favorite.

Some hints or opinions about that?

Honor also releases Kernel Sources, or it can be dropped from another huawei device?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] kenny_hkh:
Camera is definitely different. Although both sport the same dual 12MP rear cameras and 8MP front shooter, it's confirmed that Leica was only involved with the P9 and not the V8, but they still work the same way by combining the RGB and black and white image together.

While we are still on the topic of cameras, there is one big difference when it comes to camera features. For one, even though the V8 has dual lens camera, it doesn't have any monochrome mode like the P9. On the other hand, the V8 has this gif like moving image capture feature, which the P9 doesn't have (but perhaps could have with later updates), and I highly recommend that you visit this site to see how cool it is.

Also, another key difference is the VR feature from V8, during the reveal, it was shown that the device features a professional eye protection technology for the screen for watching movies or playing games in the long run, and has a special cinema mode when the phone is laid horizontally, along with stereo speakers to enhance the overall viewing experience. P9 is purely for photography purpose.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] klikman:
So. Whats the verdict?

I'm also considering those 2. And huawei ascend mate 8.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] dkionline:
im more in stereo speakers, thats why i cant 100% take the P9.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] kenny_hkh:
it depends on which feature you like more one for VR and the other for camera respectively. Personally, I'd take P9 because I prefer photography and slim phone.

So what about you?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritflare:
Hello all

If i root/flash TWRP to the nexus running 6.01, with the new monthly updates, is it going to reflash the stock recovery ? Also, do i need to reflash the vendor image every month now? If that's going to be the case i'd rather just stay stock.

thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
Not enough info. If you mean that you're trying to apply an OTA update, root will prevent it. If you flash the components separately, you'll need reflash TWRP and reroot, but that's so simple that it's not worth worrying about.

I've never flashed a vendor.img - I have no clue even what it is or does.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritflare:
I think with the new Nexus 5x/6P you have to flash vendor.IMG now with monthly security patches. You will find this info in the forums.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
"vendor.img - I have no clue even what it is or does"

So I was curious and tried to find out. From a brief investigation (I have a short attention span... :)) the vendor image contains drivers specific to a device - so, for example, you would expect HTC to supply a vendor image to enable proper Android compatibility with its devices. I'm guessing that I've never had any problems because all my Nexus devices already have all the information they need and don't need additional drivers & whatever else may be in the vendor image.

My phone is stock and updated, purchased day 1 of release. I have videos set to record in 4k but after a few minutes use the phone starts to get pretty warm, few minutes more and its hot and then maybe a few mins more (say 6-10) it will lock up. The only thing I can do is reset the phone....

Does anyone else get this problem using the stock camera app ?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Are you running out of storage space by chance? I read that 4k videos are limited to 5 minutes but I've not tested that myself.

Hi to all. From making XOSP to soft bricking to restore firmware stock... I tried to flash with and without pit the stock firmware (4.1.2 and 4.2.2), but i can't do nothing, only recovery and download mode... i have a difference from stock partition: DTSBK (partition 12) has a ext2 filesystem, but in stock it hasn't... i can send you an image where i can explain this... in command prompt there's my partition table, the other is the stock

View attachment 3748499
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Manuel15:
I'm not sure, but I don't think that partition is the problem.

Flashing the full stock firmware with Odin should make it normal...

Be sure to flash the right firmware for your model (i905 or i905p)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] matteo0026:
I'm sure at 100%, flashed a lot of times, i have i9105p... I tried to flash with and without pit 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 stock
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Manuel15:
Ok, I asked someone that is much more expert than me. He said that DTSBK should only be a backup partition for DTS, so it shouldn't be what causes your issue..

Try to download the firmware again and check the file is not corrupted (you may check the MD5 to be sure), then try to flash it again..
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] cracker12:
and from recovery you can't make anything? even trough adb?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] matteo0026:
By recovery no, but via philz recovery and adb via pc yes, but i don't know which is the command for making a partition without filesystem and if the partitions where i'm going to erase have some important files... Backup of efs i think i have... It isn't that the problem...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Manuel15:
That partition is not the problem..

VVVV
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] matteo0026:
But i used 3 firmwares, 2 4.2.2 and 1 4.1.2... They can't be corrupted, i used many times all... Now i try to remake the partitions to DTSBK and try to flash without pit... Now i flashed 4.2.2 firmware with pit (the correct) for using philz recovery and system, hidden, and data are without filesystem...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] matteo0026:
Now i tried to remake the partitions from 12 to 21 with the name, as stock. But DTSBK remains on ext2 filesystem, i did the command

mkpart primary 98.8 99.4

And making nand erase all and flashing the firmware with pit? Is it a too big risk?

Edit: the result of flashing the 4.1.2 stock without pit after remaking the partitions:
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Manuel15:
It seems that trying to fix the partition you actually make it worse... I guess the only thing that you can do is to recreate the partition manually using a program like gparted...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] matteo0026:
I tried to do the partitions from 12 to 21 giving with adb shell these commands:

cd /dev/block

parted mmcblk0

And after i did DTSBK with:

mkpart primary 98.8 99.4

Guys! I won vs my phone! I flashed twrp when i flashed 4.2.2 stock firmware and changing filesystem in recovery to ext4 to cache and system (data to f2fs before and ext4 after) and partitions gave me the normal dimension, then i flashed XOSP and all was good!!! Tomorrow i try to flash 4.1.2 stock
