[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] Vector Edge:
Wow.... What the heck?! Very interesting! Now the .3.74 is gone from Xpericheck.com for F3112 (XA Dual) as well!

AFTER UPDATING TO 3.74, THIS SOFTWARE TOTALLY BRICKED MY PHONE! UNREPAIRABLE!!! SO, BE CAREFUL...

The phone just didn't start after the update! And I owned and recovered many Xperia phones ever since Sony started to produce them. Needless to say that all my home and personal equipment is from Sony, and in general I am very happy and pleased with it. And now... Hmmm...

I will probably get now an Xperia X, not as sexy as XA (totally love that design), but at least the X owners are happy with their devices & performance, and they get 1,5~2 days of battery with just normal to high (not moderate) activity. After all, the phone must do what is was meant for, and for what you paid for. It's not an accessory for the keys. And in our days the smartphone is the most used device, more than a computer or a tv set (only if your job does not involve standing by the computer or watching porn on tv the whole day :highfive:)

EDIT: Just checked again for all the XA F311x on Xpericheck.com. 3.74 is removed from everywhere.
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] jaz909:
yes

-this is what i always wanted to do. Before i buy this everyone here just need to tell the dam truth and be honest about the improvements of this phone. . No sony bashers whatsoever.

---------- Post added at 04:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 AM ----------

What's the matter with this thread and even the sonysupportforum. Everytime someone or most of the people who mentions that the battery drain is finally gone, someone is gonna pop up and comment that theirs has gotten worse or the battery is not fixed. Im not surprised if these people are hired against sony or maybe hired BY Sony to make people forget about buying this phone due to the issues.
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] Vector Edge:
Did you carefully read my post before quoting me and suggesting that I am hired against Sony? Did you read the part where I said that all my equipment is Sony and I am happy with it? Did you read the sentence where I stated that despite the fact that my XA got unrepairable bricked after an software update, I am still thinking to get an Xperia X? Cut the bulls#it, unless you have a valuable experience (related to the thread!) to share, and read & think twice before bringing useless comments!

PS: Sorry, guys, for off-topic.
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] aidy.lucas:
Take half the people on Sony support forum with a pinch of salt, you can tell those who have genuine problems and the trolls it's clear some people clearly have no idea what to do with a smartphone and expect the battery to last as long as a flagship device there are some who have come from feature/dumb phones and wonder why the battery doesn't last two days I mean a feature phone will last weeks if want it to. I help out on there quite a bit as it is actually run by sony users with contacts with Sony. [MENTION=315455]VictorED[/MENTION]ge this is a perfect opportunity for you to get your xa replaced under warranty 33.2.A.3.74 the update ruined your device didn't it.... :)

I look at it like this I charge my stock xa once a day/night and it'll see me through the day with ease and if I'm not at work I'm usually on my xa. I only charged my old m2 once a day/night, the xa is twice as powerful, has twice the cores, twice the ram and twice the storage plus better cameras,and bigger screen yet both batteries are pretty much the same size though the xa charges in half the time. So I think it is not far off what it should be it just needs fettling pretty sure Sony has 500 or less working for the software peep's in Sweden not many compared to some.
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] jaz909:
- If you also read my last sentence, what I meant there is the exact opposite. Sony is using people in these forums to say the battery will never be fixed. Maybe its a way of sony to tell future buyers of the xa to forget about buying it because of the unsolvable battery issues.
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] Vector Edge:
Indeed :cool:

I am curiously reading the posts stating the fact that the battery life was improved in 3.74. And now unfortunately the update is gone. In the previous fw the battery life was not good enough for my daily usage (didn't last a full day, and besides the screen and 4G, the Bluetooth ate a lot of power, which was necessary to be ON to connect to my car's hands free system). I didn't get a chance to taste 3.74, wheather it would make the battery good enough for my necessity or not. But getting another XA and waiting for another update is not really suitable for me, as I strongly need a smartphone right now for my professional activities. So, here it comes my consideration of getting something that works right out of the box, which might be an X (yes, it must be Sony:)). Thow, I think XA is a great phone, enough specs for daily activity, very comfortable to use and GREAT design.
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] carlomagne:
no never until sony will replace the Mediatek CHEAP Processor in XA.

Actually it is not the battery nor the OS. it is the CHEAP CHIPSET. Sony already figured it out but still they care less anymore. they are starting to ditch XA now! Sony sucks! I appreciate samsung's effort and thoughtfulness to thier costumers. I hope sony will do the same.. RECALL XPERIA XA.
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] aidy.lucas:
Yeah right, my xa F3111 is absolutely faultless in every way. Nothing wrong with the mediatek chip and they are far from ditching the xa, as they are currently working on Nougat for the xa and xa ultra there's even a xa mk2 being released maybe you should stick to samsuck
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HerySean:
So i'm just curious, what is the fastest charging current of the Moto X play? And how fast does it charge in 15 minutes (How much percentage)?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
I got ~2500 mah and ~25% in 15 min with QC 2.0 charger
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HerySean:
really? i bought a QC 2.0 charger and I received only 1300 mAh :/
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
Which app do you use for monitoring? You should use Ampere
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HerySean:
Oh i'm using just RR lockscreen feature "show charging current".
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
LOL that doesnt work, it just shows the minimal charge current that is possible. Not your actual charge rate
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HerySean:
OOooooohhh is that so? I didn't know about that, no wonder. But frankly my phone was shutdown and when I plugged the QC 2.0 charger in it said "turbo charge" exactly an hour ago, it's from 3% ~ 66% now.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
check it with the Ampere app
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HerySean:
I'll check it later cause it already fully charged, Hey does QC 3.0 charger works on MXP? I mean it can only support 2.0 from what i've read, and if it does how fast can it charge?

Edit: I got 1880 mAh maximum, which charger do you have?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namoi:
Cable quality and/or lenght are probably the culprit here rather than the charger IMHO.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ritesh07:
My Xperia z2 stopped Working suddeny and from where i can tell it is most probably due to damaged bootloader.

Currently:-

the phn gets stucks at sony logo(freezes), flashmode turns green led but not detected by my pc(unknown device), and fastboot works fine and is detected by my pllc.

NO ercovery or other window opening.

So if anyone could tell me how to repair a damaged bootloader?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gmobilize:
Make sure you have all the nessecary drivers downloaded, as usually this is the cause of device not being detected, and as suggested try flashtool with your appropriate firmware, it should put all things back to place unless its corrupt in some other way ( unlikely).
[Android General] NithinGP:
Hi

I am trying to build Android on MAC OS X Yosemite(v10.10.1) machine.I have installed all the requirements as specified in source.android.com for setting up a MAC build environment(JDK,Python,Git etc.)

I have created a case sensitive file system in MAC and downloaded AOSP Master Branch to the working directory.

using these commands

repo init -u <link>

repo sync

Now to build this I've set up the environment using

$ . build/envsetup.sh

selected a target using

$ lunch aosp_arm-eng

Now when trying to make the Master branch in MAC build environment using 'make -B' the system hangs and restarts ( after about 30 minutes ). I have also tried 'make -B -j4' hoping to speed things up.

the Make process hangs at this step

minibp out/soong/.bootstrap/primary.ninja.in

Am i missing anything here?

Can anyone please guide me to build my Android in MAC environment?I am new to all these and any help will be much appreciated. :)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Playa82:
Nvm. I decrypted it with TWRP and installed all new. Now it's not encrypted with CM13.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhibnl:
Well i did some research and i don't believe decrypting would be much of a boost in performance. What are your findings right now? noticed any boost in performance? and what exactly did you do in TWRP to decrypt it?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] egren58:
what re the benefits of decrypt. I believe im still encrypted as I have never wiped my data...
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Playa82:
i think its a bit faster now. but its not really noticeable
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] rirozizo:
Probably the only reason you would unencrypt is to install MultiROM I guess.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] egren58:
yeah I mean I haven't found the need to decrypt and don't see a need neither. I don't even know how to use multiroom. I rather just back up two roms and restore between the two I feel like multi rom is a bit too complex to set up two roms. my understanding is that everything has to be flashed in a certain way or it wont work.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Misanful:
It's really not that hard.. you will get used to it after your first time using it. And its so much worth it instead of doing the backup-restore method :good: :)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] egren58:
I might give it a try if I decrypt my device. Also just the thought of being able to switch to OOS for the camera in a snap is not suvh a bad idea..
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] 2x4:
i'm running sultan's CM and still have encryption on - OTA updates via CM still work fine, it just requests I enter the same password/PIN I do every time the device boots (As well as whenever I go into recovery).

it's annoying during flashing and updating but I'm glad to see it work since if someone stole my device they woudln't get any of my data nor would they be able to flash anything malicious onto my device without my knowing, and i don't notice any lag in day to day use.

This is awesome!
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] toknitup420:
worked like a charm.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] r4w0ne:
Once I pushed the apk back and rebooted my SystemUI process never even started. I used apktool 2.2.0 and ZipSigner to sign the apk and followed instructions exactly. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the mod as this is a feature that is awesome to be baked into Nougat. :)
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] AL_IRAQI:
you should use the original signature, for which device youre trying to make one ?

[MENTION=4648515]AL_IRAQI[/MENTION] Would you be kind enough to add a guide on how to modify the number of quick settings tiles? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] AL_IRAQI:
Hi, res/values/integers.xml

<!-- The number of columns in the QuickSettings -->
<integer name="quick_settings_num_columns">3</integer>
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] bigdave79:
Awesome! Thanks so much! I managed to compile SystemUI.apk with all the add-ons for system UI tuner and 4 column quick settings using your guide for the latest factory image (NRD90U). Working perfectly.

Don't want to step on your toes but I'm happy to share it here (with your permission) if anyone else might want it.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] AL_IRAQI:
Awesome, its okay you can share it :highfive:
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] rohit25:
could you please share it... the original dev. doesnt have any issues... :)

P.S. whats the theme that you are running?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ezio84:
Guys, what do you use to decompile and ricompile? With apktool 2.1.1 and 2.2.0 i have some resources errors when recompiling SystemUI (using the latest framework res from NRD90U).
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] AL_IRAQI:
Hi, im using 2.2.0 with NRD90U framework & SystemUI, it works fine for me :D
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ezio84:
Uh, maybe i did something wrong. Will try again later, tnx :good:

EDIT: you were right, i've cleaned up all apktool files and the installed framework, then reinstalled from scratch, now it works. Thanks again :D
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] swbj14:
will this work on NRD90U too?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] AL_IRAQI:
Yes, this guide should work with any N release
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] bigdave79:
OK. Here is the latest SystemUI.apk with 4 column QS and system UI tuner add ons. It's a flash able zip made from the stock NRD90U file from the latest factory image. Make backup first, etc etc. All credits to [MENTION=4648515]AL_IRAQI[/MENTION] for this.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] bigdave79:
Posted it above.

I'm using magpie theme. Dark background with pastel red accent and primary color. Batman2 nav bar from navigate.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] erraggy:
Can't enable this on Stock not-rooted

I'm on stock NRD90U (please ignore my pre-Nougat XDA signature) without root (and on stock recovery) and trying to get -- at a minimum -- Navbar customization and night mode. I tried installing this by fastboot booting the TWRP twrp-3.0.2-1-angler.img. I didn't receive any errors in the install, but upon booting back to system, no mods were present. I then attempted simply `adb push`ing your modified SystemUI.apk to `/system/priv-app/SystemUI` while once again booted in TWRP and that too resulted in an unmodified System Tuner.

Is there something I'm missing? Does Nougat have some new protection that reverts any system partition changes? I'm baffled. This is my first time attempting to mod my Nexus without custom recovery and rooting, but I'm trying to keep Android Pay and system updates enabled.

Maybe [MENTION=4648515]AL_IRAQI[/MENTION] knows something I'm n00bing on here?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] bigdave79:
It's possible that your system partition is mounted RO (read only). Try the latest TWRP 3.0.2-2 and try actually flashing it (rather than just booting into it). You can always re-flash stock recovery once you're done flashing. It should work as that's what I did.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] erraggy:
There MUST be something about my device not being rooted. I fastboot flashed the TWRP 3.0.2-2 recovery and booted into that, then installed your 4_Column_QS_NRD90U.zip (no error messages), then rebooted System.

My System UI Tuner is still stock as stock can be. This time I also checked the timestamp of the SystemUI.apk of my device (after flashing your zip) and see that it still shows:

> adb shell
angler:/ $ ls -l /system/priv-app/SystemUI
total 17776
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9093479 2009-01-01 00:00 SystemUI.apk
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-01-01 00:00 oat

Whereas your SystemUI.apk contained in your zip (4_Column_QS_NRD90U.zip) has the following timestamp:

> ls -lh 4_Column_QS_NRD90U/system/priv-app/SystemUI
total 17776
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 robbie staff 8.7M Sep 9 23:27 SystemUI.apk

So once again, does anyone know of something else required if your device is *NOT* rooted? I noticed there was another user in [MENTION=4648515]AL_IRAQI[/MENTION]'s other thread: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-navbar-tuner-android-nougat-t3446791 that was experiencing the same problen and was also not rooted:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68369938&postcount=103

Still baffled.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Cilenco:
Can please someone create a flashable zip with the instructions from post one and two?

Would make things much easier. Would be great if I could use it with my Nexus 5X also.

I know there is a flashable zip with 4 columns but I like the three ones better ;)
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] AuSSiELaMbChOpS:
I followed the guide and modified the SystemUI from the latest build NBD90X, it includes 4 column Quick Settings tiles, Navigation Bar Tuner and Night mode tweaks.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] rohit25:
Thanks [MENTION=4648515]AL_IRAQI[/MENTION] ... Followed your guide and modded the apk for the 1st time.... Works beautifully....

Got only night mode and Navbar tuner.... If anyone wants the same... PM me... Would post here if the DEV doesn't have any issues
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ArmStrongDickPunch:
This is for the 6p right?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] AuSSiELaMbChOpS:
Yep it is for the 6p taken from the factory image.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ArmStrongDickPunch:
And a stupid question but just flash in twrp? Also is there a revert zip that I can use if the need arises? Thanks
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] AuSSiELaMbChOpS:
Yes just flash in TWRP, there is no revert zip you could make one yourself if you wanted to. Take a backup of your current SystemUI.apk then create a copy of the zip in my attachment and replace the SystemUI.apk within that with your original and you will have a revert zip. Hope that helps.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Savetheknot:
Thanks for doing this. Any way you can make one with 5 QS?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] AuSSiELaMbChOpS:
Sure thing here you go, I haven't tested this one because I like 4 QS.

Also I just realised the text in TWRP will say it is 4 column as I forgot to change the script, the SystemUI has definitely been modded for 5 though.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] sharkie405:
I've added all the mods mentioned in this thread, but the Color and Appearance mod doesn't do anything. Aside from adding the:

<Preference android:title="@string/color_and_appearance" android:key="color_transform" android:fragment="com.android.systemui.tuner.ColorAndAppearanceFragment" />

line, what else is needed to make that work?

I'm working with the 7.1.1 SystemUI for the Nexus 6P. Maybe something changed since 7.0?

I do know that I had to add the color_and_appearance string myself because it didn't exist in the strings.xml. I guess there is also something else that is no longer there as well?

In doing some research, I found out that Google did indeed remove "Night Mode" from the 7.1.1 build, and that not even the app Night Mode Enabler will work on it anymore. That sucks.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] AL_IRAQI:
Yeah Night mode completely removed from 7.1 source
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] AL_IRAQI:
Nice, i compared Pixel settings to our 7.1 settings, there was some changes in display but i didn't even bother to copy it over :p

I have link for night mode remove commit, ill try to find it, i meant its removed from the AOSP source, our new settings is google priority apk, so it has some changes
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Venthe:
I have a problem with Nexus 5x - On bullhead-npf10c-factory-ab01b47a (Which is 7.1.1) SystemUI recompiles smoothly with APK Easy Tool v1.2, yet phone starts without UI at all. (No status bar, no soft keys). Can you suggest what I'm doing wrong?

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] sharkie405:
Are you saying that the instructions in the first post don't work on the pixel, or are you saying that you want somebody to complete the mod with your files? If you want me to add the mod to your files, upload them and I will do that at some point today when I have the time.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] aholeinthewor1d:
Thanks for the response! I would love to learn how to do it on my own eventually so I've been reading a bunch lately and have some books on the way.

How do I get the file that you need? Can it be pulled from a factory image?

I don't know why it doesn't recompiling my systemui.apk (get from Nexus 6p stock 7.1.1 february 2017 patch). I'm using Android Multitool 3.5.8. Do you use other programs? It doesn't work with Android 7.1.1?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] rohit25:
Use apktool... I guess the latest version is 2.0 but I can be wrong...
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] AL_IRAQI:
Yeah latest apktool should be fine with 7.1 apks
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] jamez243:
I wish I was good with this stuff. I just want to swap my home and back button on pixel XL. I downloaded APKTool. But I don't know how to get my file off my phone to decompile then how to edit it... or recompile it or get it back on my phone. :(

What a shame that I should have to do all this to get an option that Google has implemented but blocked.. LG phones have this kind of customization by default in their settings. Sorry just frustrated.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] EJT01:
Hi, I have tried to mod my SystemUI.apk file for my GPap 8.3 with Android Nougat AOSP 7.1.1 rom to include the navbar tuner. It decompiles and recompiles fine,

But when I transfer it to my GPad and change permissions chmod 644 for the SystemUI.apk file and I restart the pad the navigation bar does not load and I only have a black wall paper.

I suspect that I have missed something regarding the signing of SystemUI.apk. I have used apktool b SystemUI -c as well as only take the modified compiled xml file and put it back into the original SystemUI.apk file.

Could somebody please describe the right procedure /steps to get it load.
