Did the same but still have errors while flashing the a rom zip file.

I still block at step 9, whatever I do, it fails and can't mount system or retrieve any partition such as /data, ...

I've tried with both permissive or not selinux switch.

Edit: Could the TWRP version affects how EFIDroid works? It's telling

Has anyone tried it on Peregrine? I've downloaded the app, updated and installed, added operating system to data/media/0/multiboot, everything went fine until reboot. It stuck at bootlogo, can't reboot system nor recovery. Only reflashing kernel and recovery helps.

Hey, sorry that Im asking, but can anyone make a guide how to port a new device?

The internetsite on GitHub isnt really helping ^^
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] m11kkaa:
why isn't it helping? If you're new to linux and/or git/repo then you should read Google's tutorials for that.

In case you just couldn't find the guide on the efidroid wiki yet: https://github.com/efidroid/projectmanagement/wiki/[EFIDroid]-Porting-a-new-device

[MENTION=3530648]m11kkaa[/MENTION] - is it possible to avoid reflashing rom? Can I keep my current system and add new one? How to do that, any step by step guide?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dark98:
I no longer own peregrine, could it be the device prefers atags?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] m11kkaa:
what do you mean by "avoid reflashing a rom" ?

you just add new slots and install ROM's to them.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] giaur:
Ok, I have my current main rom installed. Where will it go? Need to install it again after flashing efidroid?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dedraks:
Hi. It's awesome.

I have a Moto Z Play (msm8953). Can I port It to my device?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] m11kkaa:
your internal/main/native ROM continues working. Even if EFIDroid wouldn't work(like on peregrine) you can just restore the boot/recovery partitions using fastboot.

if you're a dev, follow the porting guide: https://github.com/efidroid/projectmanagement/wiki/[EFIDroid]-Porting-a-new-device

Otherwise, ask the most active/knowledgeable devs in your device forum.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dedraks:
I'm an old c++ programmer.

When I follow the porting guide, I cant found msm8953 template, so I used msm8952.

It compiles ok but when I boot the lk.img the device freezes on boot logo.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] giaur:
Sorry for many questions, but I need co clarify some things before I try:

- will "choose system" menu be shown every time I power on my device?

- will my current main system be auto detected and automatically added to boot menu, allowing me to choose main internal rom?

- update main rom - will it revert changes made by efidroid, so efidroid will be uninstalled? I guess each time I flash new Lineage build, my boot partition is reflashed too,

- recovery: how does it work? Additional roms have their own recoveries? Will my current, internal recovery be replaced?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] m11kkaa:
8953 and 8952 are not compatible and 8953 is not yet supported but I've prepared a test-branch for you:

https://github.com/efidroid/bootloader_lk/tree/qcom/LA.UM

- yes

- yes

- no, EFIDroid protects itself

- the same recovery tool is used for all ROM's but it's booted inside the different ROM environments to mount the correct partitions.

Ok, tried with latest tuga recovery 3.0.3-2. Still the same.

Funny thing is that:

- booting on recovery on the internal rom ==> Can mount /system

- booting on recovery on the "EFIDroid" created rom ==> Can't mount /system

I copied the twrp log but can't find it back....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dedraks:

you can't compile LK out of tree. You have to use EFIDroid's build system as usual and change the lk source path
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] YannikM:
Is it possible to skip the step 'update loading addresses' in the porting guide and do it manually?

Gesendet von meinem LG-H850 mit Tapatalk
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] m11kkaa:
why would want to do that? I guess you're some linux VM? usually you can forward usb.

if you're good at python you can also look at build/tools/finalize_device and do all the steps manually.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dedraks:
Thanks.

Now I can compile LK and run finalize_device command.

Other then coolcamera?

something that can record in full screen (320x240) and have pretty high fps.

coolcamera seems to not like recording video to my storage card all the sudden and its making me mad, cuz now i have to save it to my phone and it eats up memory. video recording is crisp and not laggy when i record it to my phone, but its really choppy and laggy when i record while the settings are set to save in my storage card.

Could someone create a flashable zip to remove system apps (Google apps, games, Huawei bloatware, Facebook, Vmall etc.) and to install some apps ???

Thanks

and how can someone know what you want, and what you don't? and why someone should make something like that for you? you didn't even said please... don't be ignorant and lazy... nobody has time for this s*"t..

really... you can do like [MENTION=7395848]Suleiman01[/MENTION] said... and do for all apps, takes to 2-3 minutes in batch...
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoshikage_Kira:
First of all there isn't a flash zip available. Second is that it isn't that hard to remove system apps via link2sd (it's similar to uninstalling an app) and third Huawei allows user to remove some pre installed (like mirror,compass,fb,clean master and some games) apps. By the way why do you want to uninstall gapps?

Hello all,

I know there is another thread regarding the battery issue in XA but still opening this thread because after so many days of its launch and despite all these frequent updates, does the high battery draining problem solved yet?

I'm about to purchase this phone but that's the only issue that barring my decision.﻿

So, requesting to the admins n mods not to delete this thread so that we can keep discussing after each n every update and requesting all of the owners of XA n XA dual to please updating n informing us all about the same after each update if you noticed any drastic change in battery life and performance.

Thanks.

[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] aidy.lucas:
I'm not even on the latest firmware update yet still on 33.2.A.2.73 and getting pretty good battery life. Only charging it once a day at night as normal. Never used Stamina mode yet either and brightness is always at 50%. Always 4-5+hrs screen time depending on what I'm doing and where I am. I was getting exactly the same on the firmware that was on it out of the box. I upgraded from the m2 to the xa and have absolutely no regrets at all. Just make sure if you want to root it that it MUST have a unlockable Bootloader so don't buy a network locked one as they are usually not unlockable.

Even GSM arena(pretty sure it was them) have changed there review of the battery life performance to reflect the updated firmware fixes.

Not at all, :(
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] aidy.lucas:

Update to the latest firmware and either do a factory reset and or a software repair via Xperia companion then wait a few cycles for it to settle down. Nobody can update firmware then within a two hours go "this is crap it's still not fixed/working properly"
