[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarJom:
Prologue- Before the bootloop and can't boot to recovery mode

So my ZH&K Odyssey Spin has been affected by malware and viruses. The effect of this is that I can't seem to "Reset to Factory Settings" and it just says "Unmounting Phone Storage". I even tried to enter to "Recovery Mode" and resetting from there but still no luck. Then I read about custom ROMs and flashing your ROM to remove malware and also rooting.

Chapter 1- The flashing, rooting and Custom ROMs

So I learned about rooting my android phone to gain more "admin" privileges and to be able to delete the bloatware in the stock ROM that ZH&K has but I noticed that the virus is included in the ROM so that gave me an idea to download a custom ROM and flash to my mobile phone to remove the bloatware and viruses. I tried doing the SPD Flash tool(UpgradeTool/FactoryDownload) and mounted the ROM for ZH&K Odyssey Spin (My phone hehehe :D) and when I started the operation it just sat there doing nothing. So I researched more and found out about the ADB and fastboot methods of flashing ROM. I wanted to to flash TWRP Recovery into my phone but there was no TWRP Recovery available for my device so I "accidentally" downloaded the TWRP Recovery for Motorola G Falcon and after flashing to my device I noticed that I can't access the "Recovery mode".

Chapter 2-The "Bricking"

So when I flashed the 'TWRP Recovery for Motorola G Falcon' I cannot access the Recovery Mode. Take note that I learned about adb and fastbooting. So out of panic I typed "fastboot -w" (a command that wipes your data) into the cmd console. Then it happened when my phone rebooted it will show the "ZH&K" logo and play its animation and also has sound but after that it just stays that way and black screen and bootloop. So I tried to access the Recovery Mode(which is now unaccessible:crying:) and still shows the logo but does not go in but instead the screen goes black.

Epilogue- The "Begging for Help"

So I don't know what to do at this point and want some assistance for I have searched the net and there is no other problem like mine I even did the Battery pull method to "refresh" the phone but still no luck and some help will be greatly appreciated :D :D :D!

Phone: ZH&K Odyssey Spin

External: 8gb Sandisk

If you want to know something just ask thanks!!!
[Sony Xperia XZ Themes, Apps, and Mods] arjun.arora:
Hey guys, just finished modifying the SystemUI.apk of the Xperia XZ dual.

Just flash it via recovery.

It will, change the color of the notification panel in accordance with the theme. You need to restart after applying a new theme.

Also adding a version with dark gray notification panel.

I have disabled signature verification in my device but it should also work without superuser mod.

Please use this mod at your own risk, I won't be responsible if you brick your device.

Advice : System UI crashes (again and again ;) ) after reboot when flashed on RomAur v1.2

(Flashing the rom again resolves the problem)
[Sony Xperia XZ Themes, Apps, and Mods] arjun.arora:
It's for stock rom buddy.. I haven't tested it on RomAur..
[Sony Xperia XZ Themes, Apps, and Mods] GoBx:
Yes, I just tried it, and then wanted to tell other RomAur users.

I'd have reported if it was OK too ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Don.Archon:
This mod is what i was searching for. But my system is 42.2.A.7.76, and after installing it crushes every time. Can you fix your mod for this version, please?
[Sony Xperia XZ Themes, Apps, and Mods] arjun.arora:
This mod was just for the marshmallow firmware.. It's not compatible with the newer firmware versions..
[Asus ZenWatch 3] slipmagt:
I cant seem to get the watch to notify me about anything. I dont have any apps in the block list, the sound is on, not in theater mode. Not sure what else to do.

How do you customize the eco button? It would be much more convenient to put theater mode there than to have airplane mode, is that possible?

Wasnt this supposed to come with that little battery pack? I didnt have one in my box unless its super hidden.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] anthonyg45157:
First did you give android wear notications access?

Eco mode button can't be customized....yet, could see that changing in an update. I thought it came with a battery back too however it does not. It is optional. Haven't saw anything about price for the battery pack.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Faxman:
The recent Zenwatch Manager update gives you the ability to customize both the top and bottom buttons. They are accessed within settings on the watch.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] ewingr:
I get no audible notifications. Someone told me I should. Android Wear permissions are all on. Only sound I get from The watch is when the phone rings.

I do get all the on screen notifications. I wish there was a clear all for them.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] sirrelevant:
No native notification sounds on the watch (yet). Try Feel the Wear app. It detects notifications on the phone to trigger custom sounds and vibrations on the watch.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: audio notifications

Go into the settings of the watch and make sure that under the bluetooth setting

that the "bluetooth audio" is enabled. I am almost certain that the bluetooth audio

in your phone is not enabled and that's the reason why you aren't getting any

audible notification sounds.

Also make sure that the alarm app in the watch is enabled and the alarm audio volume

is turned all the way up. ( you don't need to setup any alarms, just enable it in the audio

options under settings,

There are two apps you can download from the play store if you are interested in uploading

mp3 songs into your watch instead of streaming the music from your phone.

One is called WearMedia and the other is called Wear Music.

The WearMedia also has options for uploading pictures from

your phone to the watch too. Both are free apps.

Good luck, have a great day!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheDude1120:
I had a threaded application that also came with a soft key , but it took up too much memory, so i just downloaded extreme text yesterday. This program is pretty good so far, but it isnt integrated wit the factory texting system, which means I will have unthreaded messages if i open the stock texting program, So i will have to open extreme text everytime i want to see my threaded text. . I dont have a problem with this , but extreme text doesnt disable the message sent notification and its not free.

Can any of you guys recommend a better threaded texting application, preferrebly a free one with a today plug in?? HELP :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Knockz:
Search for the "palm threaded sms" in the forums. Some people have probs with it but so far on my hermes its been really good for me.

Can someone suggest a decent pair of wireless/bluetooth earbuds for this phone? I'm by no means an audiophile. Preferable in the $20-$50 range. Thanks.
[Google Pixel Accessories] TechBSwift:
Lg tones are the best, you can find some on Amazon for $50 or less

Not exactly in your price range but I love my Jaybird X2 headphones. They've been going on sale for $80 lately. Wouldn't be surprised to see even better Black Friday deals for em.

I've been using the Jabra Sport Pulse wireless earbuds and I love them! Great battery life, excellent sound, resilient to moisture. Cannot say enough about them. You get what you pay for!
[Google Pixel Accessories] suquet.paul:
I own a set of the mid-range (+/- $100 usd) Sol Republic Shadow Wireless, and Meizu's ($30) EP51. And I gotta say, after owning several dozen of headphones / earphones, the Meizu really do an incredible job, beating bigger players costing a fraction of the price. Highly recommend them. Battery life is about 5 to 6 hours of play time between charges (they charge in just over an hour), and they can only be paired with one device (as opposed to the Sol Republic, which can be paired to 2 devices simultaneously).
[Google Pixel Accessories] the tree:
Jaybird X2 is what I'm using and it's a little out of yrou range, however i went thorugh 3-4 of those cheap headsets on amazon and have had these for almost a year and no issue. I workout daily, and keep them connected to my device for music almost all day. charge up fast and work.

I'm looking into the new phase of wireless ear buds like the samsung sport headsets. as more people make them I'm thinking more and more comes out. the braggi headphones are thebest looking as of right now.
[Google Pixel Accessories] farfromovin:
Yep, I was a huge fan of the Jaybird BlueBuds X and have the X2 now. Super dependable, comfy, and great sounding headphones. If you can swing the price they're worth a look!
[Google Pixel Accessories] JoeProcopio:
My question would be , what earphones have the strongest strength? I work in New York and walk from Penn Station (34th St) up 7th or 8th through Times Square (49th) and it seems when ever there is free wifi and a busy area, the signal will break up and cut out if I turn my head the wrong way (away from my phone). Granted, I'm using my G4 (waiting for my XL to come in), but it has happened with my G2, and my friends iPhone 7 as well...

I'm hoping the signal strength out of the Pixel XL is better than any other phone, but I'm sure the headphones play a roll in that too.

I'm using Yurbud Liberty wireless for running.
[Google Pixel Accessories] sn0warmy:
I've been extremely happy with the Beats PowerBeats 2 wireless ear buds. They are normally $150 but are often on sale at BestBuy or Amazon for as low as $79.

When I was on the hunt for some good wireless earbuds to use at the gym, I went through a few different brands/models before finally settling on these ones. They have great battery life, excellent sound quality and unbelievable range. I like to put my phone on a shelf near where I'm working out so I don't have to keep it in my pocket. I can wander around that area and get my workout routine done without ever touching the phone.

The water fountain is a good 100ft away from where I usually workout and I can walk all the way over to get water without the sound cutting out. This has actually been a downside for me a couple times as I've forgotten about the phone and as I left the front door of the building (200ft+ from where the phone is) it finally starts to cut out and I'm immediately reminded that I need to go back and grab the phone.

I do not recommend wasting your money on a $20-$50 set of bluetooth earbuds because they will likely be bad quality. You get what you pay for.

[Google Pixel Accessories] the tree:
I frequent NYC for work, and in those exact areas. while I walk I either have on my beats studio wireless over the ear headphones, or I will use my X2s, or even then I have a single earbud that has a weaker signal but I find using the single earbud in the city to be best for me.

I learned this lesson after 2-3 sets and moved on to more expensive ones. I also don't like the feeling of the cord on the back of my neck, wich is why I got the X2, because I can make it tight.
[Google Pixel Accessories] sn0warmy:
For what it's worth, I just hang the Powerbeats 2 cord down in front of my neck. It doesn't get in the way or annoying at all while working out. I didn't like having it on the back of my neck either.
[Google Pixel Accessories] chestvrg:
I use the beats wireless solo 3 and so far I'm very satisfied. They are made by Apple, but have no problem connecting with my Pixel and connection is very strong.
[Google Pixel Accessories] JoeProcopio:
I would assume OTE headphones to be better, but they would make me sweat a lot walking up to TS at a fast pace, even in the winter...

I purchased the Anker Soundbuds NB10 from Amazon for about $40, and so far they've been pretty good walking through TS, although today I had a little interference, but all last week, no problem...even in my back pocket, which is the goal since in the summer, I wouldn't be wearing a jacket with a breast pocket to put my phone in.

remember, I still don't have my Pixel yet, so this report is coming from my G4 which I have other BT issues with that only reboots have fixed...I'm hoping BT4.2 is better than 4.1, and the aluminum/glass combo is better than the plastic/leather combo on the G4
[Google Pixel Accessories] AndyXS:
I do like the Awei A920BL. Very cheap at GearBest. A little bass heavy. For about 9 USD they are really a bargain.

Yep, the section with the control buttons is a little big, but the battery needs to be somewhere.
[Google Pixel Accessories] HeCareth:
I got these from Spigen..

Spigen R32E Wireless Bluetooth V4.1 Noise Cancelling Magnetic Earphones with Microphone https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CH5IIMM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_iL9EybWK8V5QM

The TaoTronics buds I got before seemed to be choppy with my Pixel, even with all the great reviews on Amazon. These Spigens work much better and hold the connection much better. Plus they also sound great. It has pretty good lows and stays in my ears without needing the wings. The big thing I like about them is they actually made the magnet useful. It turns off when you connect the magnets, and turns on when you separate them.

Only downside I found was the charging flap is a little difficult to pull out. But nothing too major.
[Google Pixel Accessories] ignitionnight:
I had a pair of Jaybird X2s, they were great but I lost them. They fell off my neck walking to the parking lot after work. 120$ gone. Bought these TaoTronic headphones and they sound just as good as the Jaybird's did (as far as I can remember didn't get a side by side) and they are magnetic so I clip them together when not in my ears and I can't lose them. These are the wireless headphones I'd recommend over any, including the Jaybirds. Jaybirds aren't even close to better enough to justify the extra money.

edit:

Oh crap, I'm having choppy connection with the TaoTronics too.... but I've had other BT problems with my nexus 6 so I assumed it was my phone not the headphones..... well I guess I can't recommend them too much anymore.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Michael_M160:
Any jaybird product is good , i know there alittle pricey but its worth it. Plus if you have any issues they will send you new ones (i have got another x2 from this and my cousin bought the bluebuds x and got upgraded to the x2's and later another x2)

Allwinner T3 Quad Core vs. Intel SoFIA 3GR Quad Core

which one is better?

I am thinking about buying one of these devices. Where are the pros and cons? Which is faster, better?

Device 1: Joying

Device 2: Pumpkin

I can not decide.

Very good question.

The third new one is Ownice with unknown 4core A53 CPU. Later they will offer a 8Core A53.

Which one is the fastest ???

Anyone make a benchmark ???

In one month comes the 8core. I have write with ownice...
[Android Head-Units] Stephan_R:
But general we need some benchmarks between all the new units !

He he... Wie ich schon auf englisch versucht habe zu schreiben, ein benchmark sagt nicht viel über die gefühlte Geschwindigkeit aus. Es hat sich viel mit dem ROM zu tun. So jetzt aber weiter auf englisch, sonst verstehen es die meisten anderen ja nicht :D

I don't think so. This forum is in English.

And double posts are typically not welcome in any forum...
[Android Head-Units] Stephan_R:
The best benchmark or indicator is Google Maps after Cold start. The old RK3188 takes a lot of time to start it up. The hardest trial was to start a Shortcut for Google Maps. One klick to start route to home. Has it anyone tested ?
[Android Head-Units] doitright:
Allwinner CPU is complete and utter GARBAGE. Avoid it like the plague.

The Intel, being somewhat.... INTEL (even if it was joint venture with rockchip), actually has a lot of supporting open source code (such as full kernel source for an ASUS branded tablet using the same chip). That means that there is actually possibility of custom built kernels for it.

Others have mentioned a mediatek SoC with a non-existent part number. Likely the mediatek isn't terrible, but it also isn't a great chip, if it is what I suspect it is.

And forget about synthetic benchmarks like antutu. This kind of benchmark is ONLY valuable when comparing iterative changes within the SAME processor architecture, or SOFTWARE changes on the exact same hardware. And by "same processor architecture", I mean that it is valid to compare, for example, a Snapdragon 800 to an 801 or an 805, since these are iterative changes to the same design. These benchmarks are NOT EVEN VALID to compare different BRANDS of supposedly similar generation hardware (i.e., Mediatek vs Qualcomm).

They are CERTAINLY and UNQUESTIONABLY useless when comparing **ENTIRELY DIFFERENT** CPU architectures, such as ARM vs x86. ARM is RISC (reduced instruction set computing), x86 is CISC (complex instruction set computing). So when you look at the benchmarks like antutu, they are tailored for the RISC architecture, using the particular reduced instruction set available there.

BUT OF COURSE, the x86 has equivalents to those simplified instructions, but IN ADDITION, the x86 has a big heap of very complex instructions where it can do some very complex manipulations very efficiently -- but these complex instructions aren't tested in these benchmarks!!!!

So at the end of the day, even if the x86 shows a MUCH lower benchmark score (for instance, these SoFIA C3230RK's are benchmarking in the low 20,000's, yet my Nexus 6 benchmarks in the low 80,000's), this doesn't actually mean that the x86 is slower -- although the Nexus 6 really does have a kick-a$$ SoC. You simply CANNOT compare them in this manner.
[Android Head-Units] andi1203:
Now its too late. I have the pumpkin unit with the allwinner quadcore.
[Android Head-Units] DarkGenesis:
So the Intel SoFIA 3GR is the better from the 3 CPU? ? ?

[Android Head-Units] doitright:
By FAR. Intel even provides BSP for the SoFIA units, and their Yocto project BSP is just plain old posted to their website! Compare that to GPL violating Chinese hardware vendors. Top of that, the SoFIA is considerably more powerful, and this is just a NO BRAIN choice.

[Android Head-Units] doitright:
First, there is NO SUCH PART as MT3562.

So look at the one that is *closest* in spec to what they advertise, the MT6753 -- which has pretty dismal performance for an EIGHT CORE SoC. The thing isn't even CLOSE to twice as powerful even as garbage like the RK3188! Its about 20% higher on single core, and only 50% higher on multi-core. Given 20% higher single core performance and double the number of cores, it should be 140% higher on multi-core. So something is severely wrong there, like throttling right off the line to the point of multiple cores shutting down.

And make note of the fact that those 8 cores are A53's. NOT the high performance A57's that gave qualcomm problems with the SD810. A53's are ARM's reference HIGH EFFICIENCY cores, they're supposed to run slow and cool, and they're supposed to be bundled in big-little configuration with A57's or A72's. You run your low-demand software on the A53's, and when you need a burst of high performance, you switch over to the high performance cores.
