Case 1: delete odex which is still needed (APK is still in use)

Case 2: leave odex which is leftover garbage (APK is deleted)

In case 2: it it harmless. This is exactly the same situation before trimming odex.system.sqsh: APK is long gone but odex file is still there, and it takes some space in /system.

In case 1: I'm not sure about the details, but we encountered this before also. System still work, but the moment the Dalvik-cache is wiped then on the next boot, system won't get past blue wavy animation screen. Or it can boot but some system apps will crash on launch.

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

I'm not sure if it can get past boot animation screen, but if it does I guess the app will crash on launch.

Do you want to intentionally delete some less critical odex files (like Album, Music,Video ) and give it a try to find out the result?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
As now struggling with odex.system-new.sqsh

After applying, Dalvik is regenerated on boot but have massive amount of applications force close and system is unresponsive.

Earlier, in the stage of extracting the original odex.system.sqh on my PC Linux got many warnings of not writing xattr security.selinux because filesystem not supporting extended attributes,

but the directory squashfs-root seemed properly generated and the procedure proceeded on alreadywithout any warnings to provide odex.system-new.sqh

Is it relevant and what is selinux required for?

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] HRSE:
actually one month ago when I first attempted this, I had a lot of warnings when unsquashfs also. OP also mentioned about the warnings.

Strangely, this time I do not see any warning (see my log in a few posts above)

2 suggestions:

1) try exactly as OP did

Also try rebooting CentOS after running the command semodule -i ... before proceed.

2) only delete 1 odex file which you are 100% sure that it is safe to delete. Then make new sqsh file and try if you can boot up normally with that modified sqsh file
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
As now changed partition on PC to one with xfs filesystem and now there is no warning.

It generated odex.system-new.sqh file of little different size, applying now it in the phone.

Aqua E2303, MM modded, SkyMelon
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] HRSE:
I've just checked my VM and it was indeed xfs filesystem.

I had no memory about selecting which filesystem for VM, let me setup another VM to see where to select filesystem

Edit: the option to select filesystem is only avaiable when selecting manual partitioning.

However, someone mentioned that XFS is the default filesystem for CentOS7 https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/2b4eq9/apparently_centos_7_uses_xfs_as_default_file/

I have no idea. Linux is an unexplored world to me. Let me Google and read something, but I have no hope that I can understand.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
It succeeded! :)

I've Funtoo on PC and used this Linux distribution instead of VM and CentOS, and just putting the procedure on xfs filesystem seems enough, no selinux.

I've got on system partition 750MB free space afterwards, it tempts to resize the partitions ;)

Please say which applications have you transferred to system?

Aqua E2303, MM modded, SkyMelon
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] HRSE:
thanks, i will add this info into my post also.

750MB is a lot! can you share the list of files that you removed?

I move everything to /system. But if the app is updated then after integrating update into /system, my app settings/data is gone :( not sure if this is expected, or there is any workaround for this
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
I've uninstalled everything Google and afterwards flashed opengapps.org pico version.

Also had resetting data but mostly when transferring an app back to data, or when uninstalling a system app update.

You could find TitaniumBackup useful in this case.

Aqua E2303, MM modded, SkyMelon
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] HRSE:
Is that ARM64 - 6.0 , 110MB? What is the size after installation?

Do you still have the pop up error "NFC capacity full"?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
Personally don't use NFC and don't know it.

About Google:

as you can see the biggest is Play Services.

And you could consider using microG instead https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki

and/or small Yalp instead of Play and Play Services combined:

https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=yalp&fdid=com.github.yeriomin.yalpstore

(It needs testing how other applications can do if uninstalled Google Play Services & Play to rely solely on Yalp.)

Aqua E2303, MM modded, SkyMelon
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] HRSE:
I disabled NFC and the error still pop s out every time Google Play Store runs or updates some app. It happens even on freshly flashed, unmodified ROM.

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ch3mn3y:
Not possible. Swap is not RAM, and RAM is soldiered into the board. There were tablets with option to change memory chip, but it was rarity.

[MENTION=7257450]MAREK10747[/MENTION] is referring to zram, I assumed
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ch3mn3y:
Nah. Now I think that he could mean modding kernel to allow user apps to use reserved part of RAM. If it is possible...
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] MAREK10747:
Extend zram be better for this phone
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] :
Sorry,I see that people are saying that the OP is incomplete and everything,can anyone just give me a step by step guide on how to resize the partitions without removing any odex files or something like that? I will put a custom ROM anyways which is debloated so I won't have to delete anything from that.

And is there a chance of bricking the phone?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] alterpeople:
Dear, i was reading accurately previous posts.

You don't need to resize partition (if you like just for exercise).

On other brands like samsung we increase many times system partition due to have the chance to install by recovery google apps or other zip, that you will be not able to install if there's not enough space.

So, the best thing you can do is to flash a rooted kernel, ( also recovery can be nice to have), and use system partition as you like.

Install app2sd and integrate the app you wont in system. It will automatically mount fs in r/w and do all the job for you.

So you can easily uninstal apps when you don't need more and play whit free space on /system if needed.

I suggest to use a partitioned sdcard for additional apps and data.

That's all

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
As you dropped it it's almost certainly hardware, I would think. But here's what I would do ....

First you might want to try a battery pull. If that doesn't fix a factory reset might (back up all your data, photos, msg etc first).

Next option you could they would be to open it up and check connectors haven't popped out or moved. If still no luck then you'll have to take it for repair.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AdobeCRT:
Hello,

I have had this issue off and on over time. I have the Unlock Verizon S7 edge on the Verizon network.

Sometimes when I use the phone I can do all functions normally while on a call.

Sometimes I'll do the same and the data is completely gone I will get no 3g or LTE on the phone while on a call. Once I hang up all the data will come back and this will continue with any on going calls until I restart the phone.

Only suspicion I have is it has to something with Pokemon Go after I use it. But can't confirm.

Anyone else having the same issue ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DarkHorse420:
So i'm kinda new to all this. Been looking up info for past few days. Went a head and tried to root my phone. Obviously its a Sprint model Galaxy S6 (SM-G920P). I tried using one of the simple CF Auto Root/Odin guides on here. I found the CF Auto Root file I needed for SM-G920P. I put my phone into Odin mode. Made sure OEM Unlocking was On. Started Odin, pressed AP button and loaded the CF Auto Root TAR file. Ensured only options ticked was Auto-Reboot and F reset. Odin loads the file and says -Leaving CS...- I press start in Odin and nothing really happens.

It shows :

-All threads completed - Successful 0 Failed 0-

Ive tried using Odin 3.10 and Odin 3.12 i believe.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DarkHorse420:
Ok, thanks guys for offering help. After continuing my research I understood ODIN wasn't recognizing my phone. Because the com button wasnt lit up. Also, I had made sure I installed the latest samsung drivers directly from their website. Even installed smart switch too just in case. That didn't work. Finally I decided it had to be an issue with my computer or usb cable (which wasn't an actual samsung brand). So I went to a relatives and used their computer to try ODIN on. Luckily they also had an acutal samsung usb charger as well. So finally ODIN recognized my phone and I successfully rooted it! Verified it with a root checking app. I was so flippin happy lol!

My next step is gonna be getting TWRP set up and doing some ROM research, so I can flash a rom.

Anyways super excited now.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigabotx:
Hi all,

Using my Note4 the other day and it suddenly restarted. When it booted back up, its was suck on the "Set Warranty Bit: Kernel" screen.

I read that I could use Odin to recover the OS as I need the data from the phone.

I downloaded the sock FW from sammobile for my device and flashed it with Odin.

During the flash process, it failed on the modem portion.

When it booted back up, it booted to the "Set Warranty Bit: Recovery" screen.

I tried to flash it again, and it passed this time, but same results.

How can I recover my OS to get the data off the phone or is there another way to do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You must wipe cache and data factory reset from recovery after flash firmware to avoid bootloops and clean os .i am not sure how you get data off the phone but for rooted users must make backup to microsd card or pc all data+efs+backup rom all the time .cuz things might go wrong at anytime.

Hi, XDA

So i installed android 7.0 on my Sony Xperia T (lt30p) and i wanted to record my screen (business reason) But i tried any screen recorder but i cant seem to find on that works...

here is a list with screen recorders i used:

AZ Screen Recorder: 'Can not create video encoder. please reduce resolution or frame rate (or both). Or try with another output directory.' So i reduced both and changed output directory, but it still wouldn't work.

SCR pro: 'Android version not supported'

Unlimited Screen Recorder: 'Error while setting encoder parameters. try using different settings.' I reduced settings, still wouldn't work....

Stock Android 7.0 Screen Recorder: Records screen but when i'am trying to open the file it says: 'Cant open file'

So which Screen Recorder can i use?

(i would like to get the internal audio)

thx for the help
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AllAboutAndroids:
As many of you, I jumped on the Newegg.ca Pre-order which gave me the Axon 7, 64GB Quartz Gray with "North American Warranty" as well as the famous "Passport 2.0"

Here's the deal...

They don't ship to Canada. Basically making that process worthless. I got a dead pixel after a month and a half. Discoloured on the right side of the screen. So Naturally I thought, no problem, let's get an RMA. This is what happened:

Started a Chat with ZTE USA > Not a problem he says. Does some troubleshooting. Says to call a number to get the RMA completed.

I call the number, ZTE USA > Not a problem he says. Processes everything. Asks for my address; "Oh sorry, we don't ship to Canada. Please contact the Canadian ZTE."

I call the Canadian Number and redirects me to ZTE USA again > I explain my situation, he understands. Tells me he still can't ship it to a Canadian Address. I escalate to a Manager.

Manager speaks for 2 minutes then disconnects the call.

Call once more. Average hold time is about 10 to 15 minutes btw. Get transferred back to the Manager.

Says he doesn't know why it says "North American Warranty" as it's only for the US. BUT THE ****ING CANADIAN WEBSITE SAYS PASSPORT SUPPORT TOO!!!

He gives me a link to some ZTE Authorized Center for Canada. They charge me $650 CAD and are shipping out a replacement. I'll get it soon. Then once I return my device, I'll be refunded the $650.

This is by far the ****tiest support I've gotten on a device that boasts having an amazing warranty. I might sell it once I have the replacement. **** this noise, I've never had an issue with OnePlus. Should've stuck with them. OPO was excellent. The OnePlus Two was good and the Three would be too.

****.

Hey you choose to make it hard for yourself, sorry you live in Canada and want to use US retailers, you should have bought the phone through a Canadian distributor if you didn't want a headache. You first clue should have been when new egg said no to shipping.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jlomein:
Comments are unfairly passing blame on the OP. Let's put ourselves in his shoes: if your Axon had a warranty issue and the support number doesn't help you until you're escalated/transferred three times, with agents contradicting advertised warranty guarantees, you'd be upset.

Newegg.ca charges in Canadian dollars, charges Canadian tax, and advertised the Passport 2.0 program on the product page with all the details. There's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't get the same warranty service when the same Passport 2.0 program is advertised on the Canadian retailer.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cyrus D.:
To those saying "we don't care", we don't care that you don't care. It's important for Canadians to know this is what they'll be facing if they try to use ZTE's warranty, it was very useful that the OP posted this.

Even though it's terrible to charge as insurance for the advanced replacment, and it's deplorably poor service compared to what they're advertising, at least it's some warranty. That's more than Samsung Canada can say. My brand new Galaxy Nexus barely used for a few days got dead/stuck pixels and after 3 months of back and forth with Samsung Canada their "managers" told me that essentially they have no policy on dead pixels for phone screens, only TVs, so I can go **** myself they won't exchange it. This is after they had me send in the phone twice, and both times it was returned with the firmware downgraded to the oldest version possible.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AllAboutAndroids:
Are you serious right now fam? I have the full right to express my frustration as I purchased this from Newegg.ca (That's the Canadian Website if you can't tell). On the item page it states it's a North American Warranty. It states I have a Passport 2.0 Support. On the Official ZTE Page in Canada, it states I have those support options such as "Advanced RMA" yet they can't ship to Canada? They want me to drive to the border to pick out the replacement? Even though they are confirming in several places that the support is readily available.

Don't be sorry about me living in Canada. Be sorry about ZTE blatantly LYING to us stating they offer something they don't.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nrfitchett4:
Just out of curiosity, what is passport 2.0? Is Newegg selling from US to Canada and that is where the confusion is? Maybe you can just return the phone and move on. If I couldn't get the support promised, I probably would too. It's tough because these midranges now have killer specs but crap customer service.

I just returned the Honor 8 because of loose and card holder. CS kept telling me I needed to hard reset the phone despite having done that and trying different cards. I just couldn't live with 32gb of storage and no SD card. It sucks because I like the size of the Honor 8.

Bull*** buddy.

ZTE has full passport warranty in Canada. I just got a phone of newegg.ca the bootloader on it went wonky on a OTA update.

I went to ZTE support, opened a chat and 10mis later I had all the info to get a free new phone shipped to me from Canada.

ZTE's warranty is done by dfComputers in toronto and they are quite helpful.

http://zte.dfcomputer.ca/create_service.php?warranty=in

They currently don't have stock of the phones but they will replace a broken phone for free with a new one or you can send your phone it to be repaired instead.

I didn't need to struggle for hours to get the info about the warranty, it was given to me right away.

compare ZTE's support to Oneplus for example and ZTE is 10x better.

I've had pretty good support from ZTE sofar, othe than a stock issue they've been very helpful.
