the SCTF10 is AWESOME!

hi everyone,

i'm using the official OEM SCTF10 from Sony since 2 weeks.. and it's AWESOME in all terms!

i bought it from someone i know for like $20 as used but in excellent condition (very cheap price) compared to how it sells in Sony stores, ebay or Amazon..etc
[Sony Xperia XZ Accessories] :
Hello

Should i use a case for the Xperia XZ?

2. IS there any FLAWS in The Rhino Shield Playproof Case (eg: headphone hole , microphone holes and charging hole size)
[Sony Xperia XZ Accessories] Smacksmack206:
I like this case more than the other two I got from amazon, it's the gold metal case
[Sony Xperia XZ Accessories] EDGN:
Can you please show the FP Sensor? Most of the Cases bother me in terms of the FP Sensor
[Sony Xperia XZ Accessories] Smacksmack206:
Yeah when I wake up in a few hours I'll take a pic with my girls phone and upload it, I like this case better than the tpu ringkie as far as fp sensor is concerned

My phone is borderline unusable. Extremely slow. I read somewhere about downgrading back to original via Odin somewhere. I don't remember where and can't manage to find it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Nice write up.

One suggestion though. Instead of using the current version as the branch name, you may want to just name them for the device, like "Shamu-Upstream" then tag the versions once you've gotten to the version commit. This will prevent you from having to update the thread for this command anytime that you pull in more upstream changes. It also makes it alot cleaner/easier if someone for whatever reason wanted to checkout a specific patch version as they could just checkout the tag rather than resetting back to the commit.

For lack of a better explanation, tags are sort of like sub-branches within a branch.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Root Wizard:
Very new to kernel building and AOSP in general. Followed the guide but I'm getting stuck when make mrproper is ran. Build stops and i get the error : unknown target 'mrproper' then the build fails. Any help?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
That's true. Some devs are lazy to commit each patch and bring up from 3.10.40 to 3.10.103 which comprises nearly 3000 patches. :cool:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Exactly lol. It's also annoying for people looking at your source because if you had to fix anything, it is going to be lumped in with that enormous patch.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
can I see a full terminal window/log showing you entering all the commands?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Root Wizard:
Just logged off for the night. Will give a full report back tomorrow with pictures. Basically all the commands go good up to 'make mrproper' . 'make clean' runs fine but the 'make mrproper' goes through incuding all the aosp files for build, then ninja enters build directory, then the error 'unknown target 'mrproper' ' comes up, and the build fails.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Oh you're building this into a ROM? Alright, that might make things different but yeah show me pictures tomorrow and I'll try to get you up and running.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Root Wizard:
Ah I guess I should have metioned that I was building an aosp rom. Thanks for your quick assistance. Will get back tomorrow.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
If you're building into a rom, you just need to change the existing kernel source to this one in the xml for this device.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Root Wizard:
Can you explain how to do this? First time building with aosp, not very familiar which xml file or what to change to apply the upstream patch.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
For shamu in aosp, the kernel is pulled with the main aosp source by that manifest. https://github.com/android/platform_manifest/blob/master/default.xml#L65

You world need to substitute this repo with the new one, and delete your existing kernel source. Then next time you sync the repo tool will pull it down.

On other roms it gets pulled in during the breakfast/brunch process. I can't remember exactly where that comes from, but I think that is in the vendor directory for the device, maybe.

How to modify rom manifests and such though is a little outside of this thread's topic. If you need more info I'd recommend opening a thread in the Q&A forum unless this is something that The flash wants to cover in this thread.

There are a few other caveats with doing it in the rom as well. The defconfig name would need to match what the rom build expects and you would need to go in and checkout the correct branch.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Root Wizard:
Ok, thanks for your help.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
For those of you who have forked my kernel, you will need to revert this patch: https://github.com/nathanchance/and...mmit/0b17006c16bba286ecc9d7bacd75a3902a26835e

It causes issues with Wi-Fi and Chrome.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Root Wizard:
It does? I have been using Chrome Beta (on wifi) since last night fine with that patch. Maybe its just a matter of time before things start failing. Thanks anyway, will keep a heads up.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
If you toggle Wi-Fi, start flipping through pages in Chrome, and toggle Wi-Fi again, it will reboot. Oddest issue I have ever dealt with.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Root Wizard:
Interesting, will look into this. I also have been getting reboots from searching forums in xda labs app. Logcat says a ton of "PowerHAL_touch_boost failed to send: Connection refused" before reboots. Is this what is happening to you?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
No I haven't had that happen but that error shouldn't cause reboots.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Root Wizard:
Huh, odd
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Github and the kernel in the OP are updated to 3.10.104.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Sounds like someone is running a cm based rom?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Root Wizard:
That was quite a while ago but at the time yes.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Yeah that touchboost stuff is from something in cm. It's a nuisance error, there's a commit that suppresses it, but it's rom side iirc.

Sorry for the delay.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 4930:
Hi!

So in shorter words, as I am a newbie please excuse my question. This is just like stock on my N6 but with a more advanced patch that contains security fixes and so? Would this affect the use of Root on the device? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, it is stock with patches from upstream Linux, which include bug fixes and security patches. Do note I haven't updated the kernel for the latest security patch, I'll try to get around to that soon.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Repo and zip updated for 3.10.105 on the latest 7.1.1 source.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
May's security update for 7.1.1 is merged into the upstream branch, sorry for the delay!

I am going to stop posting kernel builds, you can still build it for yourself but this is really supposed to be a developer's reference. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Black_Hat01:
Thank you so much for this. You seemed to be the guy to ask this, so here I go. I am building my kernel (so far just stock AOSP shamu nougat-mr1.5) and would like to update my base all the way to 3.10.106. Can you please provide an overview of how you cherry-picked each upstream branch over stock AOSP source? I am having difficulties figuring out the proper git syntax to merge upstream branches over stock shamu kernel AOSP source, and produce a build-able tree. Thank you for this guide and your time. If you need, I am willing to clarify/explain my question further.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
git fetch <url> <branch>

git cherry-pick <firstsha1>^..<secondsha1>

It is easier to go by tags though:

git fetch --tags https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-3.10.y

git cherry-pick v3.10.40..v3.10.41

Go version by version, flash and boot to make sure everything works properly and keep moving on :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Black_Hat01:
Thank you for the quick reply. Not by my PC now, but will try that. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
I no longer have time to maintain this thread; however, I have created a new one for all devices to participate in. Please ask any questions there!

[Sprint LG G4] agentfusion:
So as the title suggests, I lost my files, root, xposed, everything.

When I first got my phone it was on like ZV5 or something, whichever one you could dd an image after injecting root. This one came loaded with ZVC, so I'm unable to stay on the easily rooted version obviously. Am I basically stuck now? Or is there a way to root ZVB after rolling back (as I understand it, trying to roll back further results in hard brick) ?
[Sprint LG G4] poog:
You cannot downgrade past ZVB on the LS991. You can flash ZVB, but nothing earlier. ZVB and ZVC has anti-rollback, and if it sees anything older than ZVB it will brick.
[Sprint LG G4] agentfusion:
... Yeah. That's not what I was asking. I know (as I said) that I can't roll back past ZVB. I was asking if ZVB can be rooted if I roll back to it, or if I'm stuck with unrooted ZVC because LG decided to update my phone without asking?
[Sprint LG G4] Phantisy:
You cannot root your phone. There is no root for it on ZVB or ZVC.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamemaster1379:
So, I'm having a particularly strange issue here. I recently got this Sprint Note 4 and activated it. However, there appears to be a missing option under settings. Tethering and Hotspot is straight up gone. To clarify, I have pictures attached showing the item listing, and one without it.

Clarifications of troubleshooting I've tried so far:

I have attempted a factory reset of the device

I have attempted to do a reset with ##72786#

I have tried updating Profile, PRL,

I am using a DeOdexed PH4 6.0.1 ROM. I have tried reflashing per instruction (triple wiping Cache, Dalvik, Internal, System, etc)

I have tried flashing a STOCK OTA PH4 ROM to see if it would show up there. It does not.

I called Sprint technical support to reprovision my phone. They pushed out a a reprovisioning that I accepted. No change.

At one point, Wanam/Xposed was attempted to be installed. I checked for system/csc/features.xml. It was not there

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-stock-ph4-bloated-deodexed-t3473610/ is the custom ROM i'm using. However, it doesn't seem like a ROM specific issue.

If I use Activity Launcher or itools, i can access the actual wifi hotspot MENU (the toggle off and on, LAN settings, etc). I can enable it and the system will broadcast the SSID. However, if I try connecting to it, no devices are able to successfully connect.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sterist:
here is the Activity Launcher referenced, for other readers:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66713935&postcount=7

but anyways, regarding devices not being able to connect, sometimes the data connectivity (through hotspot only, not for the entire phone) will go dead if you don't start using it immediately after first unlocking and activating tether.

in my experiences, if you keep data alive by immediately connecting a device after your first time turning tether on (after unlock) by downloading a large file or somewhat frequently reloading web pages (on the connected device!) -- anything that will keep data sending and receiving -- it will stick, and the data service to connected device issues will stop.

it's not foolproof, it's not a silver bullet, but this is the method to the madness I have learned and worked for me many times when changing roms and even getting new phones.

it's been a couple months since I had to fiddle with it last, so I can't remember if it was necessary to re-unlock after a failed attempt at keeping data alive. you might only have to toggle data off then back on for another attempt.

when I had the problem of connected devices losing internet access, it would only happen after having worked for a few seconds to a few minutes. it'd work then abruptly stop, and this is my "fix"
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamemaster1379:
My issue seems more in line with the devuces failing to validate to begin with. Not losing connection.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezar:
I had something like this before, I vaguely recall it having to do with using Odin vs. OTA stock. So did you try wiping your phone completely then Odin the stock PH4 tar, or did you OTA to PH4?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamemaster1379:
The very very very first time, I OTA'd to PH4. The next two tries were wiping completely and using the PH4 tar file. So both methods have been attempted.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sterist:
I was referring to loss of internet connection, not signal related. I thought that was clear, sorry
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamemaster1379:
I thought you meant loss of internet connection in the sense of anti-tether provisioning from Sprint. My phone's LTE never goes down (and I am able to still browse the internet from the mobile device while tethering).

The connected devices never successfully "connect". They aren't listed as connected devices under the mobile hotspot. My other Android phone (without mobile data) is forever connecting. My macbook claims it has an assigned IP but is "unable to access the internet". So I'm not sure what the hell is going on with that.

At this point, I have restored my Note 3 as my active device until I get this resolved. I'm willing to re-write everything down to the barest metal I can.

Somebody in another topic mentioned something about PIT. I don't know anything about that sort of thing. My knowledge extends about as far as installing recovery and flashing ROMs.

I'm confident I could follow procedure, but could use a guiding hand on where to go from here.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sterist:
sounds like the tether unlock method you used was not done correctly, whether by whoever made it or yourself

method 2 in Galaxy Tools should work just fine. there are several threads in the Sprint note 4 seconds that contain the apk or ppl that will pm it to you. the author discontinued the public/free version of the app and now chargers $35+ per person for a 1 time use lol once you get a copy of the free one, make copies and store on multiple devices forever.

it's primarily for Sprint Sammy devices, so you prob won't see much if anything about it here in the collective note 4 forum.

may work on some boost or even tmo, but yeah.

edit:

you'll want either 3.1.5, easy install n msl read broken on MM and less features

or 3.1.8, troublesome install with msl read working but unreliably, more features.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamemaster1379:
Came back around to this, as I am running a multi-rom and am still encountering this issue. I never attempted any hotspot unlockers. The hotspot was missing from the get-go.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Just a thought and question: when you Odin stock tar to recover from this condition, are you using the rooted extended power menu to boot to download mode? Or, do you prevent the auto reboot of stock tar flash with Odin options?

A noted developer, [MENTION=319373]idone[/MENTION] from Galaxy Tool app, once shared with me that rooted shortcut or preventing auto reboot can prevent the normal flash of Odin booting to recovery momentarily to set csc options. csc options flashed may not restore on any boots if you skip that initial auto boot.

The suggested method is to power down and pull battery for 30 seconds our more before reinserting battery and manually booting to downloaded mode. And do not uncheck auto reboot or pull battery but use Odin defaults and let phone auto boot. Doing this allows the phone to boot into recovery to do its thing briefly before booting system. I usually just let it perform the setup wizard and didn't activation just in case.

I rarely do the the data profile update or PRL because if letting the phone setup this way and phone prompts to reboot later, I believe this all done. But since this may allow ItsOn to bootstrap initialize, after flashing TWRP and backing up, I wipe internal memory and factory reset before flashing a custom ROM. Data format is optional; I don't always do that.

But if you do all that and don't see hotspot in Settings of stock, that's a problem. Maybe from dead stock, try KIES or Smart Switch to restore latest stock and check again?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] scorpion667:
We are fighting a losing battle against Google's Safety Net via Systemless Root and various mods which mask root.

For those of us who enjoy Android Pay this may be a worthy alternative to systemless root, which has and will continue getting blocked by Google:

-Ensure adb and fastboot is installed on your PC

-Boot to fastboot and install TWRP if you haven't already

fastboot flash recovery filename.img

-Reboot to Recovery (TWRP); select Mount -> check System and enable editing System when it prompts you

-Connect device to PC:

cd C:\Users\YourUsernameHere\Desktop

adb pull /system/build.prop

-The build.prop will be downloaded to your desktop

-Save a copy of the build.prop just in case and make the desired changes via Notepad++ (recommended). To fix the memory utilization look for the line which shows:

ro.sys.fw.bg_apps_limit=32

and change the 32 to a value between 32 and 100. I find with it set to 90 I can best utilize the 6GB of RAM. I am seeing between 4.1 to 4.4GB utilization in normal use and as high as 4.9 when I'm trying to fill the RAM.

-Once done, run this command to push the file back to phone:

adb push build.prop /system/

-Fix permissions as not to trip Safety Net (Android Pay):

adb shell
cd system
chmod 644 build.prop

-you can leave TWRP installed if you want but you can only take OTA with stock recovery. To install stock recovery reboot to fastboot and do:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I take zero credit for the above. I wanted a solution for having proper memory utilization without root (Android Pay without the hassle) and found the commands on androiding.how

The only problem with the above setup is no adblock (AdAway). I chose to purchase an AdGuard license (root-less adblock) as a workaround.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stupifier:
Setting ro.sys.fw.bg_apps_limit=90 seems a bit high.......I noticed most Build.Prop on Custom ROMs are lower than that (between 40 and 60).

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DON2003:
got my Nexus 6 double tap to wake working with Kernel Adiutor (ROOT), is it a heavy app just for the double tap to wake?

any recommended app just for double tap to wake? that and notification led which I use lightflow (any better app for the job?)

they are the main reason I root my Nexus 6,
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
If you're rooted you shouldn't need Kernel Adiutor for Double Tap - mine works fine and I have no such kernel control apps. As I said, it's not 100%, and I read a long time ago that this is the reason that Google put the ability in the ROM but didn't activate it - they didn't want to frustrate users with what looked like a buggy app. Still, Sean's app works well enough for me, and it means that I'm relieving stress on the power button - Double Tap to wake, and Nova's swipe gesture to sleep, so I rarely need to touch the power button at all. Given the number of people complaining that their power button has stopped working, I reckon the less I use it the longer my N6 will last (touch wood... :))

I use elemental kernel and it has an option for double tap to wake on install.
