[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
First off, you can still set apps ad "Protected Apps" in Marshmallow, see my post above. Also, my protected apps don't get killed unless I use the square button (which you referred to as the trash in your post). What other apps are u running that make the OS memory cleanup kill your apps?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] LaVey666:
A short update from my side:

Switched from stock B211 to KangVIP B211, still had the same "issues".

Tried the advice to make certain apps system apps.

Tried it with a app called "/system/app mover" which is free.

Moved WhatsApp, Android Wear and Mi Band Tools to system apps.

Now everything works like I know it from other phones before.

I can kill every app with the built in taskkiller (square button) and I still get notifications from whatsapp etc. instantly. Mi Band Tools constant pulse measuring also working and so does my smartwatch.

Thanks to all the people here for their guides/hints/etc., otherwise I had to sell my X2.

Don't know if I would buy a Huawei/Honor again tough.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
Pretty much any app that consumes resources. For example: Chrome with multiple tabs, or Mortal Kombat X.

I also want to point out the behavior definitely repro's if I use the little trash icon (its not square, but it shows up when you use the square button to bring up recent apps), but even if I DON'T use it, Android/EMUI will eventually kill off background apps REGARDLESS OF IF THEY ARE IN THE PROTECTED LIST OR NOT.

This causes a problem with apps that need to always run, such as Whatsapp and Hangouts, where incoming texts/calls almost never make it through since the OS/skin decided to recycle their resources.

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Couldn't get this to work. I installed system app mover and made sure I gate it root permissions. However it keeps complaining about busybox not found. I installed busybox as well, still no dice.

Instead I used Titanium Backup pro version (had to pay $6) and had to reboot after each app (Titanium kept hanging at processing but it worked anyways).

That didn't solve the core problem though. I rebooted the phone, made sure to close all apps, and attempted to dial my number.

Hangouts didn't receive the call because it's not "running". When I manually launched hangouts it complained about having to re-install itself. It then opened the google play store and the only option was to "open" it. Again, it refuses to open and keeps saying it needs to re-install itself.

There has GOT to be a way to get apps to act as services. This alone is forcing me to reconsider the X2 as a viable "phone"....

Thanx

Hi, I just stumbled across a setting which *might* be your problem. Go to Phone Manager -> Battery Manager, and click on the gear icon in the top-right corner which will open a settings menu. You will get the menu in the screenshot below. Make sure the option "Close excessively power-intensive apps" is OFF

[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
Thanks for the tip. This is already off though and the behavior still repro's.

I'm starting to believe its the Android OS itself. I did a test on an entirely different device running an entirely different OEM skin (Verizon Note 4 running oTA marshmallow) and tried opening multiple games and chrome tabs. Sure enough, even with roughly 200 to 300MB of free RAM, the OS stepped in and killed what it deemed to be "not needed". I should also point out that Hangouts notifications work just fine on the Note 4, which leads me to believe EMUI and its Nazi-like power consumption tricks may also have something to do with this.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Operation Ivy:
I have a TMobile/MetroPCS GS4 model SGH-M919N that got stuck in a boot loop last week. I was finally able to find working firmware last night and used Odin to flash. Once it got to PASS my phone automatically rebooted with the blue recovery boot text in the top left, but then it just went back into a boot loop. I tried all other firmwares and none of them got to 100% so now I don't know what else I can do.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alesu69:
I have the same issue on a GT-i9505. I was using my phone this evening when it randomly rebooted and just keep rebooting until I removed my battery. After that, it was dead :(. Flashing stock firmwares like shooting a minigun and nothing works. Smells like a hard brick?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Operation Ivy:
Have you tried replacing the battery? I figured I would try that but I havent gotten around to it yet
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alesu69:
Not yet, i have no spare battery. Looks like when i plug the charger my phone just vibrates, like it's rebooting, and it's not showing anything. I found a similar issue here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2532447

Looks like one guy did solve his problem.

*need to mention that by dead I mean it shows the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505" logo and also shows "RECOVERY BOOTING", even though I didn't enter in recovery mode. Looks like now it doesn't shows anymore "RECOVERY BOOTING", but still, it doesn't boot. I was able to flash firmwares via odin and kies, but still no luck.

LE: It start booting by.. magic, i got to samsung boot logo, but that's all, crashed again.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
After flash with Odin, immediately boot into recovery, perform a factory wipe, and reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alesu69:
The problem is it doesn't boot into recovery.

LE: I managed to flash twrp via odin and boot into recovery, but i have an error:

"Unable to mount /data"

Any ideas?

LE2: Everything is useless, i managed to flash the rom, manage to boot into the rom, but then it will still reboot (which it did). Next step will be maybe to disassemble and clean all contacts.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harary:
How did you manage to get into recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alesu69:
Yes, but if I leave my phone in recovery (stock or custom), it just either freezes, either reboots, even though i don't do anything, just let it idle.

I can't manage to boot into the ROM 'cause eventually it will reboot. I couldn't finish the setup wizard.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Operation Ivy:
OK so I don't know if this helps, but I managed to at least get past the "blue recovery boot" part. When the phone vibrated I let go of the power while still holding home + vol up, and I managed to get to the android guy with a blue progress bar below him. My phone shut off as the progress bar got 80-90% but now I know it's not impossible to start recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alesu69:
Well, nothing works. After flashing pit file, an 4.4.2 odin prerooted image from here, cf auto root and then twrp, it will still randomly reboot. I manage to get past the boot logo into setup wizard, but phone just freezes after a couple of minutes, can't finish the setup wizard. Also, if i idle in twrp it will reboot sooner or later, tested already.I left my phone idling in twrp just to recharge my battery.

At least i have no more "unable to mount /data" errors.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Operation Ivy:
I finally got it to work, all I had to do is keep flashing twrp and stock firmware back and forth. But it is just one problem after another with this thing, the problem now is every 5 minutes it will freeze and restart, also it tells me there is no sim even though it worked the first time i put it back in.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harary:
What do you mean with back and forth?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alesu69:
It means he flahsed and reflashed many times until he got lucky and it worked. That's what happened to me also. But i have the same issue, phone reboots or freezez after a couple of minutes, even though everything else is installed properly.

Dude, we have the same issue. Btw, is this happening to you too? Like, now and then when the phone freezes, that the screen is turning to a bright yellowish green?

I know a friend who repairs phone hardwares for a living, i gave it to him, i'll let you know how this went.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harary:
I got several times into Recovery Mode now, flashed several ROMs. I had no issues with freezing, especially not in TWRP Recovery Mode. But sometimes if i am trying to go into Recovery Mode or i just want to start ROMs, the screen turns into yellow behind the Samsung logo. If i dont take out the battery this wents into a complete white, but nothing happens.

Yes please tell if you got some news..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joashrox:
guys its not hard bricked its a problem wiht your power button

my friend had the same issue and then i killed the battery by letting it keeep bootlooping

then plugged it in and let it charge to around 10% and booted it

just try to press the power button slowly
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harary:
But it is sure that the power button is working because i get this blue "recovery booting". Or am i wrong?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alesu69:
So.... bad news, the guy whom i gave the phone to said that it's a short on the motherboard and there's nothing he can't do other than changing the motherboard. If you guys found another solution and that guy is mistaking, let me know.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wisniew:
Replace power button to new one. I have the same problems with s3 and this works. Try it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alesu69:
My phone is dead, it's not even charging anymore. The guy whom I give it to said it's a short on the motherboard. You guys managed to solve something with your phones? Or still a dead end?

If You can't charge phone... Yup, motherboard is died. If You plug the charger and see something this have to be button but if You plug charger and don't see anything this is motherboard.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rennpel:
I have the same issue. Already tried flashing all kinds of stock firmware for s4 i9505 using odin and same exact issue, bootloop. Somebody also told me that it could be a bad emmc or board. But there is a chance that it is the power button because my wife once insert the phone in a case that doesnt fit properly ( case is pressing the power all the time) and the phone could not boot. I'll have somebody check the volume button and board and find out exactly what the problem is , I will update you guys if indeed it's the hardware. If somebody solves the issue before i do , pls let us know , would really appreciate the info. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alesu69:
emmc was causing the issue. changed the motherboard, i have no more issues.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilruhaljaat:

But later, I tried to install a Samsung-based rom. I can flash the rom, I can boot my phone. After it finishes booting, the device wants me to enter my encryption pattern. When I enter a random pattern, it freezes. But in AOSP ROM's, there is no problem.

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] maynec:
Hello, I apologise for a completely rookie question, but I am going to ask cos I am unsure...

I have an T-Mobile MDA COMPACT III UK version of the P3300. It runs windows mobile 5.

I want to give the B&B ROM a try and have read up on how you do it using USPL.

My Question: When I do a search for the ROM it comes up in the "Windows Mobile 6" thread, does this mean I need to upgrade to windows mobile 6 first? Or can i just flash with the ROM?

Again sorry for the daft question, all answers will be greatly appreciated!
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] mugglesquop:
It is in the 'Windows Mobile 6' section, because it is based on WM6. You don't need to upgrade first, this is what you are doing by flashing the ROM.

Hope this helps!
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] maynec:
Thanks for your fast reply, helps alot!

Do you have a recommendation for which ROM is the best out there? :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] mugglesquop:
Everyone usuallly recomends the B+B ROMs, but personally i like the Vanilla 2 ROM, its all down to personal preference. Vanilla is quick, and stable, B+B has a lot of features. (Both are based on WM6)

The choice is yours :p

Cube i7 Remix needs another OS. Since neither Cube nor Jide seems to be interested in supporting this device, its time for us to unite to solve this problem. I will reply to this post with my several attempts.

Wish us luck,

[Android General] Bradley Norris:
Cube i7 Remix - Ubuntu

I created a bootable 'live' USB using Ubuntu 16.04.

Power up with it plugged into the OTG. My unit defaulted to booting from the USB. You may have to interrupt the boot cycle by pressing Escape to change the boot order.

1. It booted very quickly and used native resolution of 1920x1080.

2. Surprisingly fast, especially considering that I am operating off a USB.

3. No wifi. No touchscreen.

In theory, you can follow a procedure here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2265190) to get wifi working, but I believe that is for the i7 with the Core M rather than the i7 remix.

The speed of Ubuntu, combined with native x86 applications and the new Unity touch interface would be a great combo. Does anyone know how to make this work? Topfreitas?
[Android General] Bradley Norris:
Cube i7 Remix - Windows

I created a Windows 10 install USB using Microsoft's own tool MediaCreationTool.exe (www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10).

Booting starts, but ends prematurely with a BIOS error.

I wonder if we could install from one of Cube's own devices. For example, the Cube i6 dual boot runs Windows on the same Baytrail (Intel Atom Z3735) chipset. In addition, they have an i10 and an iWork 11 that also use this chipset. (http://www.cube-tablet.com/download/) These downloads timeout before completion. Anyone else successfully download?

Teclast also makes model that is suspiciously familiar (probably built off of the same older Intel reference design): X16HD. Perhaps their version of Windows would work.
[Android General] Bradley Norris:
Cube i7 Remix - XJUbunTAB

Again in theory, this XJUbunTAB distribution was created with Baytrail tablets like our Cube i7 Remix in mind.

Here is the intro:

https://xjesus.net/xjubuntu/xjubunt...izable-distro-based-on-xubuntu-14-04-64-bits/

Here are the files:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/xjubuntu/files/

Again, I created a bootable USB and like Ubuntu, it boots quickly and runs wicked fast, but...

No wifi, even when I run their utility to fire it up: "Start WiFi RTL8723bs"

No touch.
[Android General] Bradley Norris:
Cube i7 Remix - Android-x86

Android-x86 is now up to 6.0!

http://www.android-x86.org/

Same as the other experiments, I created a bootable USB and tried it out:

Touchscreen not working (USB Mouse instead).

Wifi sees networks and allowed me to sign into one.

Screen resolution defaulted to 1024x768, so it looked large and fuzzy.

“Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped.” Repeatedly.

Signed into my google account, and then froze on “Just a sec…”

Hard reboot, this time Wifi doesn’t work.

Any thoughts?

[Android General] topfreitas:
Hi Folks!

You can try use a version of Ubuntu developed for Intel 3735F. Burn a pendrive with it and run from OTG, you'll have wifi working out of the box, but after trying a lot, I gave up on trying fix touchscreen or sound...

In theory for this kind of device, you need to upgrade to linux kernel 4.3 to get touch working but you'll lost wifi. (I didn't tried that).

Topfreitas - What did you try to get touchscreen/sound working?

From reading other forums, it as least sounds technically possible to get the Broadcom wifi working.

I don't know where to begin getting touchscreen or sound drivers.
[Android General] topfreitas:
To get Wifi working is pretty easy if you try the ubuntu version developed by Morrison. To get touch working try to update the linux kernel to 4.3. Someone said that you can get touch working but you'll loose Wifi... Who knows :) I wish I knew more about linux and this kind of stuff.

[Android General] nickyip123:
You can try the ISOs from linuxiumcomau.blogspot.com.

Everything seems work out of box, except the touch screen. (Touch screen is "ft5x0x_ts".)

(touch not okay, screen resolution correct, sound okay, wifi okay, bluetooth okay, battery stats okay)

Even the old iwork8 with CPU z3735d works nearly perfectly, with the touch screen working. (wifi okay, sound okay, bluetooth not okay)

Ubuntu Success

So I pulled this Cube i7 Remix out of the back of a cabinet and thought I should either make use of it or throw it away. Well, since I last attempted this, Linuxium has done considerable work developing specialized versions of linux for our ancient Atom-based processors and unique (read fussy) Broadcom radios.

I downloaded one of his prepackaged ISOs for Atom processors and was able to boot from a live USB. I installed, but the first attempt would not boot. I installed over the first installation and was then able to boot. It looks great and wifi works well, but I haven't gone much further than that yet. I am running 18.04.2 LTS. I used the default partitioning which resulted in:

512MB fat32 EFI System Partition /boot/efi

28.6GB ext4 root partition: /

HD Videos seem to play smoothly, but no audio yet. Linuxium has a fix, so I'll be working on the ALSA UCM audio drivers.

No touchscreen, but won't likely be able to fix that.

2. Try Ale95 N5 Port (5.1.1 OTA) or another s6 rom

3. If you don't want a Install rom, (this method is not 100% perfect because I don't know) take s6 settings app (ported s4) and put system/priv-app (I think freamwork-res is not needed because I take s5 settings ported s4 mini lockscreen effects showed.

4. Again, I don't know this is work 100% because some lockscreen effects need some lib files.
