[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] ardylemon:
Sony wiping camera keys at the time of bootloader unlock (the camera is a huge selling point for the phone) might have to do with this, it's very likely that devs would want to get TA backup working before focusing on developing ROMs for the phone. But since there aren't any devs here working on that either, we might simply have been doomed as well. The only custom ROM I've found so far was an AOSP Marshmallow build made by FreeXperia, plus Sony's device files released for building AOSP M and N.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Halftrack:
Also supposedly 7.0 is around the corner so the few that are thinking about roming may be waiting until after its release. Time will tell.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] charliebigpot:
I think the XC will get zero dev support. You can kinda see a trend in the developers support: I had the z3c which had tons of support, now when I look at the z5c forums there are only very few roms, and for the xc not even one developer has posted something yet. until it won't get easier to unlock and root the xperia phones without messing up the DRM protection there won't be a lot of support. I'm thinking about buying the z5c just for that reason.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] andy356:
:/ This is so bad on Sony's part. They try to give the impression that they're so pro development and pro custom ROMs, but then they mess up the camera if people actually want to do something.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] x10isrooted:
if someone doesnt find a exploit to root on locked bootloader then nobody will be able to backup ta data. i wont buy a sony phone if rooting means loosing features of the phone.

z3c has support because the giefroot was once found and this enabled all dev to backup ta data with drm. even if they decided to unlock bootloader they were still able to restore ta and lock again bootloader.

sony's aosp way is almost useless for the majority of people. when samsung was at s1/s2/s3 you could flash what you want and no feature was lost as they was nothing related with drm but now there you also have knox and efuse. if you root you will even loose guarantee and this is not reversible.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] andy356:
I guess it's better to look for a Z3 Compact then. I don't want to deal with this DRM nonsense.

Thanks for all the info, guys. I appreciate it. :)
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] x10isrooted:
i bought a refurbished z3c again and had my battery replaced just because the z5c has this ****ty 810 snapdragon and the x compact a weird vibration motor (too loud) and several other reasons (no root on locked bootloader) and im fine.

ok maybe i get no nougat on this but i dont care because im still on kitkat because this has best battery handling and all apps are still working on kitkat.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] andy356:
Yeah Z5 compact is out of the picture because of the snapdragon 810. Otherwise my second choice after X Compact would have been that. Oh well. Z3 Compact serves the purpose just as well.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Kianush:
yeah as long as roms go, xperia x compact is out of choices but this phone is gonna get nougat and maybe android 8(or whatever version it's gonna be) so I would say go for it, Im really enjoying screen quality on this baby

[MENTION=4758081]EliWallace[/MENTION] That's great news! All you need to become member is 10 posts, which you can easily gain from participating in the forum. Then you can post in the dev section.

It's good to see someone take the initiative. I would have liked to do it too, but my knowledge is limited to Android customisation and adb/fastboot commands. :/

I'm sure the other members here would be willing to give you a hand in beta testing and general feedback. :)
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] andy356:
[MENTION=4758081]EliWallace[/MENTION] And please make sure you take care of GPL compliance from the very beginning. Devs and mods here take it very seriously. Don't want to see possibly the only custom ROM being bogged down by such pointless issues. Good luck!
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] EliWallace:
Should be fully gpl compliant (source hosted on github: see first post). Most of it is just rebasing Sony-Kitakami commits to Loire/kugo or cherry-picking upstream commits (as described in the Sony aosp build guide; I didn't write a single line of original code).

In other news, Bluetooth works but fmradio does not.

As they should.

You're cool enough to me Eli :p Do you know if the DRM kernel patch work for the XC?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] notz76:
Interesting that the camera is working on your build. I build Aosp 7.0 and everthing is working but not the camera and deep sleep (only if bluetooth is enabled, but i think they have fixed it today).

You are mixing the kernel (from android 6.0/7.0) with device tree from android 7.1 and the camera is working.

Dude makes a great point. Post away!
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] EliWallace:
Not sure how useful I'll be, pretty sure I'm in over my head.

I'll keep trying to work on it but I have finals next week so I won't have a ton of free time until after that.

In other news, I can't get the music player to work properly

mp3s spam 'audio_hw_primary: start_output_stream: cannot set device: Invalid argument', which looks like it's coming from external/tinycompress/compress.c:285

284 if (ioctl(compress->fd, SNDRV_COMPRESS_SET_PARAMS, &params)) {
285 oops(&bad_compress, errno, "cannot set device");
286 goto codec_fail;
287 }

ioctl is resulting in EINVAL and returning -1, which according to ioctl(2) means that SNDRV_COMPRESS_SET_PARAMS is invalid. The problem is that this is defined in a kernel header (sound/compress_offload.h). In the header, it says that only codec params can be changed during runtime. When looking at compress_params.h, there doesn't even seem to be and mp3 decoder, nor is there in any other kernel I've looked at.

flac doesn't work, but throws a completely different error

Interestingly enough, it works on an omnirom build that I threw together trying to build TWRP (haven't push sources yet and mp3 doesn't work there either).

Opus (ogg container) works fine (????)

fingerprintd gets rejected by SELinux so fingerprint scanner doesn't work with SELinux enforcing, haven't really tried to fix it yet.

FMRadio still fails with

but /dev/radio0 is now present after updating the kernel
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] andy356:
[MENTION=4758081]EliWallace[/MENTION] Wow. I have no idea what most of that means. You should get in contact with the other devs from Z5C and Z3C. Maybe they can help you figure all this out. ROMs on XDA are a team effort. :D
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] EliWallace:
Probably would be better off asking the people working on suzu's (X's) omnirom port, seeing as how the hardware is nearly identical (both are loire platform)
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] andy356:
Great! Would love to see some good coming out of this. Even though I'm not a developer myself, I like to think that I can encourage others like you to continue making XDA such an awesome place. Happy coding!

Yes but it seems there is less effect in change even after doing for all levels. the previous level drops a little bit. But the level wont go beyond some level as you can see some orange color meaning too much rise in that level leading to equalizing itself to optimum..

[Samsung Gear Fit] pavlos46:
Hello all,

I am about to pick up a gear fit and looking through the forums and also having lots of experience with the original galaxy gear I wanted to share some thoughts with the experts.

Firstly looking at the fit 2 it definitely does support android 6.0 and non Samsung devices. But one main difference is that there is no Gear fit manager but a Gear Manager unified for all devices. ( all devices being Gear S, S2 and fit2)

Actually my LG device (6.0) can see and download the latest gear manager just fine, but don't have the gear fit yet to test.

Now the way it works is by using a plugin for the fit 2 which is also available on the store. So my idea is, is there or was there a Gear fit plugin that if we load could work with the latest gear manager which is android 6.0 and non-Samsung compatible? Or could we get the fit 2 plugin to work on our device?

Just stating my thoughts hopefully not just wasting your time.

Pavlos
[Samsung Gear Fit] bob211418:
Gear fit 2

I have a gear fit 2 and a Motorola droid turbo 2 (on 6.0) and they work perfectly together. All I did was download the Samsung gear app from the play store and the other apps it said it needed. What I'm looking to try and do is find non Samsung store apps I can put on the watch, like a weather app would be great.
[Samsung Gear Fit] geokirby:
If I am not mistaken all new samsung gears run the Tizen OS which maybe makes the compartibility with other devices and android 6.0 easier. The original GearFit runs RTOS which could be the reason it was left out, maybe?

I never followed how good it selled but I am guessing not that good since it was only usuable with samsung mobiles which makes the target group smaller. Probably they don't even care, for the ones that bought it or would be now willing to buy it, in order to spend resources to either update the OS on the original GearFit to make it compartible with the Gear Manager or to update the old GearFit Manager to make it compartible with newer android versions.

Theoritically it would be possible patching the new Gear Manager somehow for Gear Fit. But I don't know if anyone would think the trouble and work doing it is worthwhile..

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Zogrod:
Hi,

just bought the Huawei P8. Im wonder if my phone is now fully encrypted, including the SD Card.

1. Internal Storage

After factory reset there was no screen lock (just swipe to unlock). I clicked 'encrypt phone' and it took only a few minutes. AFTER that i could still swipe to unlock, there was no option to set a password during the encryption process. So I set the password afterwards. Now the pw must be entered to unlock the phone.

Does this mean the internal storage is now fully encrypted and can not be accessed without the password? Even though i did not set a password before the encryption?

What if someone where to remove the internal memory module from the phone?

Does the encryption encrypt ALL files in the internal storage or just certain areas?

2. SD Card

That one was strange, too. I clicked 'encrypt SD Card'. There i had to set a pw in advance.

But the encryption also took only a few minutes. That seems odd because the 64 GB SD Card was half full. This should have taken hours to encrypt.

Can I be sure alls files on the SD Card are fully encrypted now?

3. Why I am asking

Before I had the Samsung Galaxy A5.

When encrypting the device you had to set the pw in advance and it took much longer. That seems logical to me.

When encrypting the SD Card the phone asked me if I wanted to encrypt all files on the SD Card, including Fotos, Videos, MP3s etc. It warned me, that this might take a long time. Encrypting the SD Card with some 30GB on it took severeal hours. That also seems logical to me becaus SD Cards are much slower than the internal storage. So I am wondering why the Huawei P8 only took a couple of minutes for the SD Card.

Can someone please elaborate?

I am especially interested in having my photos (which save to the SD Card) encrypted so nobody can access them when my phone is stolen. I also have company emails and such on the phone.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Devil676:
Hi,

on internal storage... Data Partition would be encrypted. I am not sure if cache partition would also encrypted. File's from internal storage would be saved in Data, so all files are encrypted.

But SD-Card wouldn't be encrypted...it's only password protected. That's why it takes only few seconds to set the protection.

If you set a password for internal storage, you could choose to set the protection in the Boot process. So before the whole system boots up you would be questioned for the password.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Zogrod:
Thanks for the answer.

I activated the boot password.

What use does the sd card password have? I tried to put the sd card in my computer and the card wasn't even detected. Does this mean nobody can access the files without the password? What is the difference to a full encryption?

If any of you have ever had to deal with the outright lies and nonexistent support from OP, I would steer clear of them. I was one of the early adopters of the OPO and went through hell trying to get a phone that was worth a crap. Yes, it had great specs, but did not live up to the hype. In fact, the whole company was a hype machine in the early days. I am sure that there are some later adopters of the OP around here that can give you some later information about the company. As for me, I will never put myself through the hell of dealing with them again.

Channels like Trap Nation, Bass Nation, Nation, NCS, etc don't need to keep our screens on, and we just love listening to these musics from all these channels. But the biggest problem is, we can't keep our android devices in pocket while its on, else abnormal clicks starts. So, today we will learn how to listen to YouTube musics while our device is in our pocket !

First of all your device must be ROOTED.

Whats needed... :

An Android Device having root access

Download Xposed Installer from here. If you are lollipop + user then you need to download the Xposed framework flash file from here and flash it via your custom recovery.

Patience & time :D

How to do ?

First of all install Xposed installer and install the framework. For lollipop + users you need to flash the flash-able zip framework via custom recovery

Now open Xposed download store and download YouTube background playback apk

Activate the module and reboot your device.

Now open YouTube and start any song. Press home button and check the magic. You will also get the controls like pause and stop button in notification panel and in your lock screen.

Yahoo, you are listening to your favorite YouTube songs while your device is locked
