I really want to help you. It's seems to me that you did something wrong. Did you find mentioned keys above in you registry? Let me check on my own mobile device...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xda4yk:
Everybody who will read this thread - it was my fault, sorry :( I have check my registry - key have to be

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\DIALER\landscape\text] AND

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\DIALER\portrait\text]

Paulmo, pls, check one more time - sorry for my mistake :( It was tested on my mobile device (don't forget soft reset your device)

P.S.: error has been corrected in my first post also.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] paulmo:
Made those changes. Values in landscape and portrait are now 0. Numbers are now appearing Black. Nearly there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xda4yk:
Paulmo, I wrote to you that value must be FFFFFF (HEX):D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] paulmo:
Hi xda4yk, when I put in FFFFFF, it re-set as 0
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xda4yk:
I ahve checked on my mobile device:

1. made changes in value (HEX) FFFFFF or (DEC) 16777215;

2. close appl for registry edition;

3. soft-reset device

I'm sure it works.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] paulmo:
Hi. Put in the DEC value. Worked great. Can now see what I am dialing. Thanks for your input and patience.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xda4yk:
P.S.: to close appl for registry edition, pls, use Settings\System\Memory\Runnig Programs -> Stop all. Then wait a little bit & soft reset device.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Savetheknot:
I have my phone run SD Maid, moves some files around and reboot during the night. Is there a way to disable the boot animation for this boot to keep the screen from getting so bright?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] RuggedHunter:
I'm not sure about the nexus 6p but on my Samsung the boot animation files are in /system/media. I'd try renaming the files during the task that runs SD maid. Then rename then back to normal with a different task linked to a boot context....if you want not animations for regular reboots .

Use Tasker's Copy action to rename.

Sent from my g928c powered by RiverRom RR5 and SkyHigh 5.7
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Sukarn:
If you remove the bootanimation, your phone will probably show the stock 'android' bootanimation, so it will still light up.

You could make your own or search for a pure black bootanimation. This would work best with an amoled screen.

Then you'd need root to run:

Code > Run Shell

mv /path/to/source/file /path/to/destination/file

Bootanimation is /system/media/bootanimation.zip
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] LeftyGR:
+1 on that. But also remember, two things going on during boot. The splash screen is not part of bootanimation. That is something tasker cannot change as it's part of your boot partition.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] alienyd:
hi

have Tasker do this with root, or just do it manually by editing build.prop:

echo 'debug.sf.nobootanimation=1' >> /system/build.prop

But as that others said, the first flash screen is the boot screen, which is part of the boot image and cannot, or with much complication, be changed. You can just disable/change the boot animation after that.

If the setting for Enhanced LTE mode is checked on, but there's no 'VoLTE' indicator showing in the status bar, does this mean that VoLTE isn't active? I ask because all the ROMs I've tried have this setting, but only stock-based ones show the indicator.

Hi,

Since Whatsapp didn't want to perform a backup on my old phone (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/cyanogenmod-whatsapp-backup-t3383454), i am stuck when trying to get my chat history from the old to the new phone (Samsung S7 with Android 6.0.1) which i cannot root and put the file into com.whatsapp due to warranty.

The uncrypted msgstore.db from the old phone's com.whatsapp is not recognized as a backup file on the new phone.

I have got my msgstore.db with the corresponding key file but I can't create any *.crypt8 file with Omni-Crypt or Whatcrypt. I can only create a *.crypt file, which Whatsapp ignores as well.

Result of Whatscrypt online (key file uploaded): "Encryption failed / Incorrect account?"

I know we can change IMEI using different tools.but I want to change my imei within the ZIP itself..

Last day i'be used Ressurection REmix it comes with a pre-written imei(which is not matching with the given) and there was no way I was able to change it so I reverted to my stock ROM..

Is there any way to do that so that I don't have to write IMEI every time I install a custom ROM

I'm using an mtk6572 device any help is appreciated..

Also tell me is there a way to flash IMEI as a ZIP

What is difference between OTA and factory image?

All partion became same finally?
[Nexus 5X General] Commodore 64:
I've been holding it until the final release ... pushing the OTA now ...

"C:\Users\blabla\Downloads>adb sideload bullhead-ota-nrd90m-fdb8250a.zip

serving: 'bullhead-ota-nrd90m-fdb8250a.zip' (~56%)"

***Update: It finished, and working great so far! Since I pushed the OTA there was no need to reinstall any apps or restore app data. However, when I have some free time (2-3 hours), I'd like to do a fresh factory install to compare performance. I didn't run into any issues with the OTA yet.

[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Thank you for saying this.
[Nexus 5X General] t3al:
Actually that's not true. It mostly depends from which DP you started receiving updates. eg. I clean installed DP5, which had some features removed (eg. night mode, and it's also missing from the final), whereas someone who started clean from DP1 will have it on the final. For the final I guess they were waiting to update the Google Apps, such as Connectivity Services which got updated after the final OTA.

[Nexus 5X General] voyagerfan99:
I'll do it late tonight when I have time to spend doing a full wipe. I'm not looking forward to the fight to root it though. From what I understand, Google is cracking down on rooting.
[Nexus 5X General] milan187:
I had no real issues with OTA. Things seem to be even better after a fresh factory flash.
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
It's really really really hard to root this phone. Fastboot flashing TWRP then flashing SuperSU in TWRP is tough. I don't know how I ever did it.

When someone that knows what they are talking about says Android is getting harder to root, they mean for those that initially find it (chainfire), not the user. For you and I, it's only a matter of flashing a cute little zip in our custom recovery.
[Nexus 5X General] Bonez1802:
So latest twrp and super su works on 7.0.0?
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
Yes.
[Nexus 5X General] voyagerfan99:
I understand that, but I read this article (a month old) talking about the secure boot and only being able to boot and use partial operating system features if it detects corruption, such as rooting.

http://betanews.com/2016/07/20/android-7-0-nougat-root/
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Wait, uhhhh no it's not lol. Rooting this phone is the easiest thing ever. Just enter a fastboot command, flash SuperSU zip in TWRP, and that's it lol.
[Nexus 5X General] voyagerfan99:
I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

But what I am referring to is the new version of Android 7. But I suppose that falls more on Chainfire and other root developers than us end users.

See an article I found previously that made me question it - http://betanews.com/2016/07/20/android-7-0-nougat-root/
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Ahhhhh, I get it now. You were more so referring to developers rather than us
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
What do you mean new version on Android 7? So we are on an old version of N?

The source is out. Chainfire (or anyone else) hasn't complained. We have root right now. What's the problem?

I'm struggling to believe anything that a journalist writes without citing credible sources.
[Nexus 5X General] voyagerfan99:
Did you read it at all?

This is the only issue I have.
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
I did, but where does it say that we have an old version of N and that there is a newer one that is going to block us from rooting?
[Nexus 5X General] voyagerfan99:
I'm referring to Android 7 (N) being the newest version of Android, not that there is a new version of 7 (N).
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
We must not be on the same page.

You and the article are saying Google is making it hard to root N. Yet we have root already on N. And it's the same root from MM. What's the issue?
[Nexus 5X General] voyagerfan99:
Ignore me and move on with your life then, because I don't know how to explain myself.

I want to be rooted. I don't use it for much besides giving Greenify better permissions. But it seems that if we root our device, Android will flag it and not give us full features of the operating system. That's all I was getting at.
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
No one has complained about missing features yet (other than AP). I wouldn't worry about it.
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Wait, no, I'm confused. Sorry if I'm not making sense, I just woke up. But no, rooting Android won't really "flag" anything. I mean, it'll flag some Android Pay stuff, but everything works just as normal. Greenify will still work. There are no missing features.

I am currently unencrypted, and using a modified version of N final release. My partition is unecrypted and I like to keep it so. If I download the latest factory image and then root it in twrp, and then reboot the phone will it start encryption again or will it remain unencrypted?

In other words how to flash the stock image and stay unencrypted and rooted.
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
Are you wishing to preserve your current data?
[Nexus 5X General] jss2:
Can you explain why flashing a full OTA would be different depending on what you started with? My understanding is that a full OTA is not an incremental update, but rather, replaces everything in the system. If that's the case, why would it matter what the system was before the full OTA flash?

I flashed the full OTA a couple of days ago, coming from the latest stock 6.0.1 build. I never participated in the DP, and never had N on my phone until a couple of days ago. Would my system would somehow be different if I flashed the factory image and did a clean install?
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
I'd imagine it like this; the OTA would be like basically overwriting and replacing all the M files, and a fresh factory image would be erasing everything and putting that on there. But I OTA'd then did a factory reset, and N has been great for me so far. Kinda don't think it'd make a huge difference if I did a factory image install
[Nexus 5X General] milan187:
It shouldn't be. It could possibly leave some stuff behind when you move from one major version to the other.

It's likely cleaner to do a factory load. Might not be a big deal but some of us like me just believe it's cleaner and might present less issues.

Besically wiping all partitions and starting fresh. I did have more free space (not including cache) though nothing crazy.
[Nexus 5X General] thorrules:
Yes.
[Nexus 5X General] Commodore 64:
Instaling the OTA first and then factoy resetting is not the same, and there is no point in doing so! If one would factory reset after an OTA then it is good practice to install the full factory ROM instead for a clean flash experience.

The processes are completely different although the end results might be similar given the high possibility of the OTA success these days.

Full factory file flash is a clean install which repartitions and formats the newly created partions first then copies a clean system image.
[Nexus 5X General] jss2:
Can you explain what would be different about flashing the full OTA, and flashing the factory image? I understand the differences in the process. Assuming no errors in either flash process. My understanding is that both replace all system files, so what would be different? When you say that the end results might be similar, it implies that something is different even if no errors with either flash.

What could possibly be left behind in the system files if one flashes the full OTA? Serious question. My understanding is that the full OTA doesn't patch files, but completely replaces everything in the system. Is that not correct?

Please recall that t3al claimed that, when flashing the full OTA, the features you have on the final (or more accurately "current", as there are sure to be future updates) version of Android 7 depend on where you started.

Is there any validity to that statement? If I full OTA replaces all system files (not patching anything), how could there possibly be different features? Can anyone confirm what t3al said?

I'm just trying to get a better understanding of everything, and sort out all the BS.

Thanks for everyone help.

[Nexus 5X General] myawan:
Can I simply flash factory image using flashfire?

Will my internal storage be wiped during this?
[Nexus 5X General] milan187:
You can use flashall from the factory script. Just remove - w and it won't touch your userdata but will rewrite all other partitions. If you don't want to touch your data it's the cleanest way.
[Nexus 5X General] myawan:
I am not concerned about internal storage as I can take backup but can I flash factory image using flashfire?
[Nexus 5X General] milan187:
As far as I know you can only flash OTA images with flashfire. The cleanest would still be be flashall script with a computer.
[Nexus 5X General] t3al:
I was referring to features being added and removed throughout the release of the Developer Previews, that made it somehow in the final release. In your case you only updated once, so my statement doesn't apply for you. The OTA doesn't replace everything in the system, that would require full formating of your partition, and THEN applying the update, which doesn't happen. As an advice since you jumped a major version, it's always good to flash the image, I find it more trustworthy than an update script.

I stated my case by saying I didn't have night mode on the final OTA since I started from DP5, whereas someone who started from DP1-4 has it on the final OTA. With this logic, (features not being removed) some bugs could be transferred on the final OTA. Just flash the image, you are overthinking it :) Always good to be on the safe side. Personally, losing an alarm ring in the morning can cost me my job.
[Nexus 5X General] jss2:
Thank you for the explanation. Though I'm not really looking for advice, just trying to get a better understanding of how things work. Why would the replacement of everything in the system require a full formatting of the partition? Sure, it might "cleaner" that way. But the full OTA contains the full system package. When applying the full OTA, my understanding was that all system files are deleted and replaced by the full OTA. Although your statement referring to various features being added or removed throughout the Developer Previews, and doesn't directly apply to my phone (because I never had any of the DP's on my phone), the implication is that the full OTA doesn't replace everything, and thus, what you started with matters. My understanding was that the full OTA replaces everything. Therefore, my question now is, what, exactly, does the full OTA do if not replace everything in the system?

And BTW, desiring to understand how things work is not "overthinking" anything. Sure, I know my options, and I could do a "clean" flash and be done with it. But again, I'm not looking for advice and to do or not do with my phone. I'm just looking to get a better understanding of what exactly is going on with a full OTA.

Thanks.

No, after rooting you will have to update factory images manually (step 9 in Heisenberg's guide).

I'm having an issue flashing the factory image. When I try to flash system.img I get the error "Error: Cannot load 'system.img'

I've downloaded the factory image three times, rebooted, no change. HELP!

Edit: Even if I do the flash-all, I get an error that "Archive does not contain boot.sig

It looks like system.img is corrupt because I can't even view the contents with WinRAR.

[Nexus 5X General] milan187:
The two missing signature lines are normal. It should say the same for system. Looks like your system.img is corrupted somehow or maybe something else wrong with your PC.

See if you get the same error with a different build?
[Nexus 5X General] Manumission:
No - this isn't correct. I just applied the 7.0 OTA using Flashfire while maintaining root and TWRP recovery. No problems so far.
[Nexus 5X General] voyagerfan99:
Yes, the flash-all was a last ditch effort.

I downloaded it three times on two different computers and had the same issue.

I wound up flashing back to the latest build of 6.0.1 and signing up for the Android N beta, which immediately sent me a new OTA.
[Nexus 5X General] milan187:
That is pretty odd.
[Nexus 5X General] voyagerfan99:
Someone on Reddit suggested updating my SDK (I haven't updated it ever). They said the error went away for them when they upgraded to the latest SDK. Previous fastboot only allowed for system images up to a certain size. https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus5x/comments/5003wo/factory_image_70/d714l9y?context=10
[Nexus 5X General] kelphonic:
i had the same problem updated the sdk and that still didn't work, then found the old version of adb and fastboot and deleted them replaced with the new versions from the sdk. checked the adb version and it went from 1.0.31 to 1.0.36 and finally got the system.img to go through
[Nexus 5X General] sfhub:
There is no difference in system, vendor, boot, recovery, bootloader, and modem, between differential OTA, full OTA, or factory image.

The main difference is whether you are doing partial block flashing of select sections via recovery, block flashing of entire partitions via recovery, or block flashing via bootloader.

The only other difference is the OTAs by usually won't erase userdata where as factory images do (but can be easily modified not to by removing one flag)

You know the system and vendor are bit for bit copies because they aren't publishing multiple merkel hash-trees (for a particular build) for verified boot so all system and vendor images must be the same, bit for bit or they would trigger the android corrupt warning.

UPDATE: I went ahead and got 9H Glass cover. 2-pack for $8 on Amazon. Immensely better than the plastic this phone ships with. I highly recommend doing this, even if you don't personally see a problem with the plastic cover. I promise once you see the difference you'll agree it was worth it.
