[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ssurell:
My last hope for legacy devices was when real ART support never manifested into a useable ROM. CM11 runs great in ART mode, but there's virtually no development for it or even Xposed compatibility. But that would be my suggestion: Find a CM11 ROM that will run in ART mode, but don't expect much customization.

Update: On a positive note, I left my S3 out in the rain and am using my L5 while it dries out. I don't mind using it at all and performs better than would be expected given the absurd amount of time I've spent setting up the old Carbon CM11. It has better phone/talk quality than Samsung by far, and can have a clear conversation while driving with the window down. But can't fix the kernel wakelocks preventing deep sleep. I don't know why I admire this cheap L5 better than my clunky S3, I just do.

More positives: With custom kernel you can overclock several hundred mhz, run memory tweaks to gain nearly 1gig with zram compression, then if you use that up have another 1.5 gigs of virtual memory. Then, up the read ahead on your data partition. I only notice minor lag on my single core system compared to faster dual cores with 4x physical ram.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Natureboyhcg:
i just got a note 3 and i flashed the firekat rom to it and i restored alot of the apps i had on my note 2 to it via TB. once i was done i got the almost full memory message after that i moved as many apps to sd card as possible which helped with clearing data to those apps as well. with my note 2 it seemed like i had much more space for apps or that my apps was saving to the sd card automatically as i never got that warning with the note 2 and i only transfered half of those apps to the new device. is there any suggestions to how to get more space?

I also was curious of it it was possible with safestrap to readjust the space allocated for apps in the custom rom slot...

this is my idea

do a nandroid (which i have never done nor really knows how it works) to back up the rom

then clear that clear that custom slot so that I can make those adjustments to the memory from 2gb to 4gb

then restore the nandroid backup and then boom everything is back to normal except i have more space for my apps .

is that how that works or will after i restore i have ot go back and reload all the apps and setup settings and such ?
[Moto X Q&A] aBabyPenguin:
Hey guys, I'm looking for some help with my Moto X's microphone. It works great for most functions like phone calls, video recordings, sound recorder apps, etc, but won't work for Google speech recognition. Anytime I want to do a Google voice search, compose a text message via speech, or use a keyboard's speech to text button, I have to get VERY close to the rear mic to make anything happen. When I go to https://history.google.com/history/audio my searches are incredibly quiet. Even with my pc at full volume, my searches sound like a whisper.

I've been using two ROMs, OctOS-M and AICP 11. Both have had this issue despite multiple clean installs and trying different versions.

Does anyone have an idea what's happening here? Why is Google hearing my mic so quietly? I miss my voice actions! :crying:
[Moto X Q&A] cyril279:
I experienced similar behavior on custom firmware when using opengapps. Switching to banks gapps fixed the issue for me.

[Moto X Q&A] aBabyPenguin:
Awesome! I'll try this tonight and post my results. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Moto X Q&A] aBabyPenguin:
Okay so I dirty flashed banks dynamic gapps 6/7/16, the system booted and configured the apps, but the result didn't change at all. Next I factory reset, installed AICP, then installed banks gapps. Still the same issue :(
[Moto X Q&A] aBabyPenguin:
Very strange! So I restored to a stock 5.1 nandroid backup and the mic is working perfectly. Maybe my phone doesn't like MM for some reason? I really don't understand what's happening xD

If anyone has ideas, let me know!

Plan:

Minimalist data redundancy while photo-backpacking-airbnb-ing in Iceland and Scotland later this Summer. Plainly putting maximum effort into NOT having to take my 2010 15" MBP for backing up DLSR & HTC10 Stills and Footage. Shoot>Backup from Card Reader to internal 128GB Internal card via OTG>Export via OTG Cable to 1TB external and to Google Drive if/when WiFi available.

Gear:

*HTC10 (duh, ahhhmazeb***s so far after only a few weeks! RIP to my M7)

*Type C Adapter, RAVPower USB C To A Female OTG Cable, USB-C On The Go Convertor for New MacBook and Other Devices with Type C USB

*Lexar Professional 1800x microSDXC 128GB UHS-II W/USB 3.0 Reader Flash Memory Card - LSDMI128CRBNA1800R

*Transcend StoreJet 1 TB Military Drop Tested USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (TS1TSJ25M3)

*Nikon D4, Tammy 15-30, & 70-200

Troubleshooting So Far:

* Formatted Lexar as Internal, no problem...though since I have 8GB of space left on the built-in, it's only theoretical space at this point. (Maybe don't format as Internal?!!?)

* Shot test images with DSLR and was able to import from XQD and CF card readers to the internal SD/'0'/'Downloads' folder via OTG. I am now stuck trying to get the images off. Many of the RAW (.nef) files appear corrupted by the NEF Thumbnailer App. Of the few that I tried to transfer I could not see the external drive. It shows up at 1TB of usable storage after the 'Unrecognized please format device" error, even though it's formatted FAT32, ExFAT wouldn't work, or vice versa, I forget which.

* My go-to Astro File Manager (free version) doesn't see the external either. (Though I didn't try to 'Add Location' yet. Do I have the drive on me now...no. Bah. )

* Lightroom Mobile will not recognize it either and/or Edit .nef files...but it edits the HTC10's DNG files flawlessly which I LOVE! Would love to be able to edit my .nef's on the go, but that's a gripe with Adobe, not Android. Again cannot export to the 1TB External, that's the rub.

* For giggles I connected a Mouse and it actually worked on the OTG cable and the handful of fellow IT cohorts had some Friday-afternoon-geek-out giddiness last week. :highfive:

Thoughts based on limited Googling:

* It's a hardware based issue - The OTG cable I bought for $10 is crap and only partially works.

* It's a USB 3.0 vs. 2.x issue (supposedly this was possible on non-rooted Galaxy phones with a USB 2.x OTG Cable using The Thumbnailer App based on a post I found from a photographer back in 2013-ish.)

* It's a software issue and I need to root, which I've never been fond of.

* My other slightly unrelated concern is that my DNG's are not syncing to Google Drive. JPG's are there. Google Drive allows for DNG's supposedly?!?!

Thanks in advance for all that you do....stay awesome! :cool:

[HTC 10 Accessories] afuller42:
one thing to help out out is in your file explorer while the external cannot be accessed from it normal location. you can go to Root>Storage>"name of card" and be able to save/ upload from your sdcard there
[HTC 10 Accessories] ROMPhotog:
Thanks afuller42. Do you mean while the External Hard Drive is not connected via the OTG cable... attempt to access the SD card Downloads folder? That's where the test photos are now?!?
[HTC 10 Accessories] jauhien:
Dear Ryan,

1. Make sure the OTG drive is formatted in FAT32..

2. If you are to utilize OTG memory on your hTc 10 - do not use any BS file manager - but only authentic hTc file manager:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.filemanager

3. Make sure hTc file manager is running in foreground - before you plugged your OTG memory

4. Follow the normally needed steps by selecting OTG storage and granting the drive writing_permitions to hTc file manager.

5. Enjoy ?

Sent from quite brutal hTc 10 ..

Any fix or help please
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEEPAK HTC:
hi everyone,

i was gifted a single sim variant from vodafone spain, i got it to dual sim following tutorial on xda , would thank for it before everything, now i have a question my phone only has one imei number that means it isnt really a dual sim, one simcard would be offline while you are on another calling or answering, so question really is does dual sim variant of p8 lite ale-l21 have two imei no´s , if someone can verify that by checking on dial pad *#06#, that would be great help , if someone can verify that then next and progresive step would be to repair imei using some profesional software like hcu client or sigma key, i think if it has only one imei on dual variant also then there is no way single sim variant can be really dual,,,

thanks for reading :good::good:
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VladHD:
Dual sim has two imei, i can assure you.

With what version(ale-l12 c432bxxx) came your phone?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEEPAK HTC:
to tell you honestly i didnt check at that time, i followed tutorials and now i am on ale-l21c432b560, did download a vdf spain firmware that says b181 in filename so that should be it most probably, my one is going on to recieve signal from both sims but when you are on call other one is offline, it should be related to imei for sure
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordbannakaffalatta:
Try downgrading to b056 and then use updater to get to b170 i had problems with my imei once and solved it that way. I'm not sure it Will work but it's worth a try. The user sokoban has all the files you need on his website
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEEPAK HTC:
hi,

i still havent tried downgrading as suggested but i managed to get second imei by repairing it using hcu client, so now i have two imei1 and imei 2, but it is still doing the same thing if i am on one line other one goes on to offline mode, so i will try the suggested step and see what happens i havent got anything to lose as atleast both sims are working just not at the same time.

thanks

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEEPAK HTC:
well it didnt work, because the phone it self even though has two imei numbers its not prepared for dual sim active, its a dual sim standby , so hw doesnt permit to have both sims to be working at same time, so thats it one more adventure done, but one thing i was able to do is get bot sims working including microsd card with it ,, you will have to modify the sim tray and microsd card and sim both with have to shed some plastic to get it thin enough to make it work but its possible ,,;););), sorry huawei ...

Please tell me you documented that. Or at least show a picture :D
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VladHD:
You need to unlock your network service in order to use dual sim .. maybe you used different network for sims ... try to use both sims with the same network and see after.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEEPAK HTC:
yes why not,, but please anyone who does give it a try you would risk breaking microsd and sim its a risk i took for expriment and broke a microsd but got things working, need good skills and patience, and yes it can be done.. you can see in pics i broke one doing it then i tried on a 2 gb one and it worked absolutely fine, most important part is do not over do it, and be prepared to get sim tray out with bit of force once it goes into the slot, so you will have to trim the sim and microsd both of them to minimum thickness possible, then the sim tray woul have to be modified if you pay attention sim sits into a bracket created in simtray, so the hack is to trim that space so that sim almost goes through the tray, now thats it be brave and insert it into the slot try to get it in a bit go out again and slowly letting the tray go into more and more.. hopefully that helps ,,, please do not try this if you dont have patience, took me around 6 hours to figure it out,, and dont blame me if u break any stuff..

tomorrow gone put get 32 gb card for this new shiny thing, :cowboy::cowboy::cowboy:

Hello everyone, I'm making this thread because Im having some trouble updating my phone to the latest version of Andriod.

I have an LG G3 D850 factory unlocked. This means it's an at&t phone, so I'd need an at&t sim to update it. The problem is, I dont live in the US, Im from southamerica, Uruguay specifically.

As I dont have the sim or anything, my phone is stuck in Android 4.4.2.

My question is, is there any way for me to update my phone? What happens if I download and install the D855 version for this phone (the international version) will it block my networks?

[General Questions and Answers] LiveFyre:
I am trying to find a free toggle widget to do one simple thing - enable or disable the WiFi Calling feature on my T-Mobile HTC One M7.

Why? I've been having shoddy internet connection issues at home for the last year. Spikes, timeouts, and packet loss before it even gets TO the routing server. How this affects my phone is obvious when you also consider I can barely get 2 bars of 2G signal while inside my home. The best way around this is to turn WiFi Calling on and set it to "WiFi Only" mode so it doesn't try to turn the cell radio back on while the connection is unstable (never more than 3-4 seconds). Just means I have a few seconds here and there where it may drop a call or delay a text or something, which is a small price to pay if you ask me.

However, I can't do WiFi calling outside of the house, which means going in and disabling it every time I want to go somewhere. After a couple months of this (because WiFi calling doesn't disable when WiFi is off for some reason...), I'm trying to find an easier solution. Losing 20% of my battery overnight from having it swapping back and forth is a pain, so I'm not going to set it to "WiFi Preferred", which started all of this.

I tried the application at this thread but it only seems to want to work with Tasker, which is a paid app and currently not a financial option for me (that same $3 is two days' worth of food).

[Droid Turbo 2 General] windraver:
This thread is intended for the Droid Turbo 2. For the lucky Moto X Force owners, this thread shouldn't apply to you.

I think there are some brilliant minds lurking on this forum and I'm hoping there could be some research done to "encourage" the possibility of attaining root and boot loader access on our Droid Turbo 2 Devices.

My approach here is to establish a collection of "Zero Day Bugs". Security flaws found in our devices that would put our OS as risk. As far as I can tell, Google keeps a record database and the media likes to talk about zero-day discoveries. Of course these bugs need to be timely so zero-day flaws found in 2014 or early 2015 likely were patched with the launch of the DT2.

For example, below is a link to a Zero-Day exploit that elevates the privileges of an app. Can something like this be used? Who has the technical expertise to replicate such an exploit? This thread is to talk about these things.

http://perception-point.io/2016/01/...f-a-linux-kernel-vulnerability-cve-2016-0728/

Hopefully this will spur up some traction and help get us root and bootloader.

Exploit found for Turbo 2 that can grant root access

Given the widespread impact of this exploit, it is likely other device owners are going to try to implement this exploit as well. Please post here if you find any implementations for other devices as it may be usable for the Turbo 2.

It has been confirmed that Quadrooter can exploit the Turbo 2: http://www.zdnet.com/article/quadrooter-security-flaws-affect-over-900-million-android-phones/

Four vulnerabilities (CVE-2016-2059, CVE-2016-2504, CVE-2016-2503, CVE-2016-5340)

And just an FYI:

Could be used on a Terminal Simulator and get the bootloader lock transistor to break safety.

But honestly, my first thought would be to force into QHSUSB_DLOAD and somehow inject all XT1580 stuff to get it recognized as such.

I have installed one-click root (I got it through another site, not from them) and it sometimes says failed to root, but other times, it goes through the process, says it's done and to reboot, but when rebooting it does not have root. I have tried running other apps, like King Root, or Root Genius, or half a dozen others to get it to root, after getting one-click to say it has rooted it. Not sure if this will help or not, and honestly, I'm to the point, I'm ready to give up and do something different. I WILL NEVER buy another Verizon phone, ever! I may not drop them as a carrier, but I wont be keeping their crappy locked junk.

[Droid Turbo 2 General] windraver:
Can you explain the QHSUSB_DLOAD more?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] mr_verystock:
QHSUSB_DLOAD (Qualcomm High-Speed USB Download Mode)

Man... It's been a while. Haven't had fun with any of this.

The bootloader starts and checks everything. There are 3 stages of the bootloader. 1 starts TZ, 2 something else, by 3 everything is booted and then it loads fastboot. QHSUSB_DLOAD is baked into the hardware. If the bootloader file is missing (.sbn) or doesn't match magic key (.hex) then booting fails. Most of the stuff turn off except for the CPU (in this case, ARM Cortex A53 and A78) and communications (USB interface), and it is stuck at QHSUSB_DLOAD. From there, you can load anything raw into the phone. So you can bring over the partitions that is used to boot (so in this case, you may be able to bring over something that damages TZ transistor, thereby unlocking bootloader). What you bring over exactly for the bootloader unlock, it hasn't been discovered even with the original Moto X (2013). However, that's how root is done. Bring over the blocks of the OS that contains the root blocks, and the bootloader doesn't know a thing.

Bring over a valid .sbn and .hex file and forcing the phone CPU to reset would bring the phone back from the missing bootloader, and then fastboot loads, followed by the OS (if the Linux core is present, the boot sector there, but that's another topic).

I'm usually just lurking here and grab Roms and exploits when they pop up, but I have something to add. Has anyone unlocked the developer settings?

Last Verizon phone I had was a g3 and only way to gain a faux unlock was to use 'bump' to install twrp. Could this be possible with the turbo 2?
