KEYWORDJUICE: boot.img location,where is boot img,img locations,boot system recovery

Well... It sure did mine... I posted proof.. so I cannot comment with a 100%

It worked for me..It will ALWAYS FAIL if you don't destroy encryption to get he mofo to take again. And I mean really fark it up... Like dead the ****er when you are doing a full encrypt of the hard drive and/or fark with force encryption flags and other encryption flags within build.prop. You want that phone without a trace of previous life.... Then it works. It is Samsung unlock software.. It is NULLED to begin with and your SIM CARD tells the firmware what to do... SO... If you have no trace of previous carriers on your device - and the only REAL TRUE WAY to achieve a CLEAN install is to corrupt full disk encryption thus causing a full disk rewrite and trim. However... If there is so much as a breadcrumb for the parasitic SIM card to sniff out, it will attach to it and not force the update. If you **** up encryption and re-partition, it is like you are a Samsung Engineer on the line loading the firmware in the phone for the VERY FIRST TIME.. From here, it goes to be tweaked to carrier specs... And that is what the U firmware does... Just for a little breakdown...

LulZ!!.... you all are trying to be on this level and you don't know what the f*&K the boot.img is, how to use google/search button, or the basics of firmware archiving???? Thank GOD Samsung has made the phone this foolproof.... For future refrence(and I will tag the **** out of this post with keywords for PEOPLE WHO SEARCH)the boot.img is in the AP archive, along with the recovery, system, and userdata... :)I had to teach ya something after dragging you through the hot coals...

Here is the stock boot img tarr'd... from the g935U PI3

Yo [MENTION=3463480]travis82[/MENTION].. .It was I originally whom contacted you Re: CVE's related to priv escalation... and all tht... I have tried your firmware already through Flashfire with altered prop's AND with xposed doing a device clone and no dice. I think there may of been something with the compilation language and the unicode from the language diff in the kernels.. Or there is one G935U that I missed changing.. But on a further down level of priv that I have.

Apologies if this has been answered before, I've searched but can't find anything.

I want to know how to create (or add) program icons into the programs folder. I have some applications that I've installed and they have not created their own program icon so I want to be able to add a shortcut / link or whatever you want to call it into the programs folder.

I have this phone and it has a very nice design. I want to play around with it, but I would much prefer a custom ROM on it because it is mostly Chinese and, you guessed it, I can't read it.

So what my goal is, to have really any custom ROM on it. I'm pretty new to this, and I've only done this to an LG G3 with Fulmics. I know the first step in the process with this. I have to "unlock the boot loader and flash a custom recovery" according to the lifehacker website I can't link because I'm a new user. (How to Flash a ROM to your Android Phone)

The thing is, how? I have no clue to do this because I (am totally guessing from my past experience) need to install TWRP so I can flash, but no root solution that I can come up with works. I am talking about Kingo Root, KingRoot, iRoot, RootGenius, and Framaroot. I am officially stuck.

If you want software configuration, tough luck. I know it runs "YunOS 3.2.0" but some root application (KingRoot?) saw it as an Android 5.1 device, which seems reliable due to the fact it can run APK files without issue. Again, the device is called the JD-PLUS. If you need more information, I'll be willing to do that.

I'm probably will be a sitting duck until KingRoot gets a strategy for this phone. 2258 people doesn't seem to be enough. Oh well. :silly:

I have the I9195L and previously I did my own debrick.img and tried to boot from SD with two of the same I9195 without results. My image was taken of CM 11 Snapshot 08/20 (the latest). The device worked normally until wednesday, I got used to the random reboots (I figured that maybe was the morphie case) but suddenly stopped working. It pass the Samsung logo and sometimes starts booting and I can put in DL mode for a few seconds but resets (that's normal beahviour without the debrick.img)

I made a video to show my landlord how run down my building has become and upon review at home on a 4K 43" monitor/TV, I have to say that I am pretty displeased with the quality.

The video gets very fuzzy when you move the camera and things look like they are vibrating. The stabilization makes the video somewhat jerky. There are tons of compression artifacts and the overall bitrate looks very low. I checked the bitrate on my PC with MediaInfo and it shows 42.0 Mbps, which seems decent, but as you can see in the video, it barely passes as 1080p content. It doesn't look anywhere near what I expect 4K to look like. The lighting was not ideal, but it wasn't necessarily dark either.

What do you guys think?

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jeremytodd1:
Yeah it is definitely pretty disappointing. When you go indoors the quality goes down tremendously.

Here is a quick comparison I did between the Pixel XL and the Nexus 6:

Nexus 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWhoCGFh_JA

Pixel XL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1dwmw33M98

I'm just puzzled why even the Nexus 6 does SO much better with low light for video. When it's looking at the desk the Pixel XL does fine because theres a bunch of light, but looking around the room is horrible.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] oRAirwolf:
Wow, that Pixel video is awful. What resolution did you record it at? 1080p30?

I don't understand how it can take video this good, but then look so awful when we use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC61JkwxfS4
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jeremytodd1:
It was recorded at 1080p60FPS.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Hmmm....

No offense but you live in a dump :p

But back to the issue at hand... I wonder if Youtube downgraded the video? Did you have all the settings correct?

I will make a quick vide of my home office and upload for comparison :highfive:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] oRAirwolf:
Yeah, I know I live in a dump. I am embarrassed to have people over. The problem is that housing has become insanely expensive in the Denver metro area and it's what I can afford while still being close to work. Either way, I am going to move in February....Hopefully to Arizona where I can wear shorts year round :cool:

In regards to the video, I can tell you that the source video looks very similar. I still have it and can upload it to a file sharing site if anybody wants to compare.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jjayzx:
Thing is the Nexus might have gotten tweaks over time while the pixel is new. We know google plans on updates to the camera. It is odd for video to look slightly out of focus though. I haven't tried a regular video of the higher resolutions, only played with the slow-mo so far.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
I hear you... Because of your thread I did some testing...

Here are my results...

2160P - Medium lighting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekO5rm9dxnY

1080P low Lighting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_7V7kjwRfU

I have to agree with you. Unless the lighting source is bright then the camera is kinda a let down.

I will try to do some high lighting videos in the AM.

Although, I am still happy with this phone!

I took another video of my garbage dump dilapidated crackhouse building I rent a condo in with image stabilization turned off. It looks better, but still has many of the same problems, such as compression artifacts, severe loss of quality when panning, and lots of digital noise.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] oRAirwolf:
I would start a new thread, as this isn't really related to the topic of this thread.

That being said, I don't think Facebook is a very good measure for quality. Try a service like YouTube or Vimeo. They have much better quality at 1080p60 and 2160p30.

Google sounds like they are using a lot of algorithms to make better picture quality but they are probably over-processing. Maybe they should give the option to turn it off like HDR+.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
Why would you record with the Pixel at 1080p60? That is why the quality is down. It had to reduce shutter speed to get those 60 frames in. Test it again at 30 FPS.

I think the Pixel suffers in low light, but then again, what phone doesn't. It's not a high end DSLR or Mirrorless camera with an actual wide aperture professional lens. But to be honest I'm still happy.

For what it offers at the convenience of a camera in my pocket it is good enough for me. If I need to film something of high quality I'll be taking my real equipment out.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bartolo5:
Are you looking at the youtube version? Youtube is going to recompress whatever you throw at it so the compression artifacts you mention are expected looking at the youtube version. You should look at the file that came out from your phone. Whatever conclusions of quality you arrive from the youtube version are not warranted.

Then comparing that file bitrate to stuff encoded by x264 is a bit pointless. x264 is probably far more advanced that whatever the Pixel XL is using to do the h264 encodes, with all certaintiny the HW encoder in the 821. Still at ~40mbps you should get pretty decent 4K videos. I'm gonna go out and record some myself to gauge quality.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bartolo5:
Confirmed. 4K Quality sort of sucks.

I recorded a few 4K videos and threw them into a h264 bistream analyzer. (Elecard Streameye). The h264 encoder that Pixel XL uses for 4K is severely limited. On intra frames for example, seems only Vertical, Horizontal and DC modes are being used for intra macroblocks. The lack of use of other motes limits the performance of the encoder. I don't have enough time but I'm asuming on P frames there are even more compromises being make in quality so the encoder can hit 4K realtime encoding at 40mbps. This is nowhere close to what x264 could achieve.

I doubt there's anything Google can do about this, as this seems strictly a hardware limitation of the 821.

PS: I've writen video codecs for a living so I have some exposure to this stuff.

Here's a clear example of the kind of compression artifacts you'll observe. Pay attention to the pavement.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] oRAirwolf:
Thank you for the reply. It's good to know it's not just me and an expert can validate what I am saying :). Would you be so kind as to try Filmic Pro and run it through your fancy analyzer? Filmic Pro can be set to 4K 30FPS 100 Mbps and it seems to look quite a bit better to me. I would be interested to see what you think, though.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bartolo5:
I'm very curious about Filmic Pro now but I see it's a paid app. It could be that the 4K encoder of the Pixel can be configured to output 100Mbps, bitrate at which, frankly any shortcoming of the encoder should not show up. If you have a file output from Filmic I can take a look. I also assume you lose video stabilization with Filmic? I don't know.

For some reason Google chose 40mbps on the stock camera app. They could give the option in the future to up this higher to improve the quality... that, they can do. It's gonna be silly huge but you get unlimited storage on the cloud... oh wait, maybe that's why they chose 40mbps on the first place, to save space in their servers.

EDIT:

Oh! another interesting thing I've noticed is that when shooting 4K video with stock camera app you don't get to see the video stabilization preview.. but it does happen on the recorded file. On 1080p you actually see the stabilization effect in real time on the preview.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] oRAirwolf:
Here are some crappy test videos I took with Filmic Pro today. The overhead lighting in the last video makes it go a little crazy, but I haven't really played with the settings much. It does have image stabilization, but I am not sure if it is working in this video or not.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bartolo5:
Just looked at them with the h264 bitstream analyzer. Seem to come from the same encoder as the stock camera app but a 2.5X the bitrate thus the much better quality. Only modes used on Intra are Vertical, Horizontal, DC and Plane. P frames I saw lots of 16x16 MBs with the same motion vectors, which suggest this is a pretty sloppy encoder. At 100mbps however, I don't think it matters much, and you should get pretty good quality anyway, sacrifizing file size of course.

TL;DR Pixel XL has a crappy 4K h264 encoder that produces questionable 4K video at 40mbps, the default of the stock camera app. Third party cameras seem to be able to configure such encoder at much higher bitrates (Filmic Pro for example) where the shortcomings of the h264 encoder dissapear due to the higher bitrate.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] oRAirwolf:
Well, I guess the answer here is to either brute force the 4K video with Filmic Pro or just use my DSLR w/ Magic Lantern. It's a shame that they couldn't implement a better encoder, as I don't normally carry a dedicated camera with me and having a super good smartphone camera is a major selling point.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bartolo5:
I think the 'easy' solution would be for google to offer a high bitrate option in settings of stock cam, but I doubt they'll do that. Maybe a customized ROM can come to the rescue on this front.

I wouldn't bang Google, or qualcomm in this case, too much for their spartan 4K h264 encoder. Pretty much everyone else in the industry is doing the same thing to get 4K to work in realtime, and mark it as a feature on the spec sheet.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jayesh:

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Iso.morph:
I got in touch with the people making the ProCam app and confirmed that it can recotd 4K @ 150Mbps using M-JPEG instead of the H264 codec. now, if they could only port the app to Android.

I am unable to get Windows to mount my Pixel XL in MTP mode. I have the Pixel's screen turned on and unlocked, and the connection option on the phone's pull down menu is set to transfer files. Windows is able to mount the phone when it is in picture transfer mode, but not in MTP mode.. When I look in Window's device manager I can see that the MTP device is connected but I'm getting a yellow triangle exclamation, as in the driver is no good. I uninstalled the driver and tried letting Windows reinstall to no avail. I have searched the web for MTP drivers for Windows, but I can't really find anything. The specific version of Windows that I am using is Windows 10 Education 64.

The main reason for my concern is that I am about to attempt to apply the new root method that is available, and I wasn't sure if I needed to be connected successfully via MTP before I get the ball rolling with ADB. I do have the ADB drivers installed, along with ADB and fastboot and that seems to be working fine. When I run the command 'adb devices' the console shows that my Pixel XL is connected. I am assuming that I should be good to go on that front, but I still want to know why MTP is not working on Windows, and how I can fix it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a screen shot of what Window's device manager is showing me.
