[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] hachamacha:
It's really a good question. One thing I've noticed over successive versions of Android is how many background apps are started during boot. By the time boot is just completed , there are about 160 apps running , ~90% of them that I can't intuit any reason for having started, and those apps all require similar resources.

I've got a loaded up old 2013 moto x running 4.4.2 that boots in about 10 seconds, a galaxy alpha with about 1/10th the power of the OP3t that boots 4 times as fast, and the 3t that takes about a minute to get to a usable screen. When I get there, (I'm rooted), I'm watching tons of notifications from apps that I don't use at all, ever, that are shooting off for about another minute. I'm beginning to think that the newer the OS , the more security of any sort from SELinux to encryption, the more gratuitous apps that're kicked off, the longer we wait.

Even my first or second boot prior to any software or additions by me, were pretty slow for such an amazing hunk of nice components. Sometime's I'm completely baffled by the way apps like Play Store work, and how many resources and wakelocks appear to be involved and they're always running.

Good video ! . And on top of the obvious amount of time to see a booted phone, those phones are all really busy in the background, to the point of not being able to be useful for another minute after you see it looks booted. I love that the note 7 took longer than the rest. Thanks for posting that.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] LMcR92:
It's when pure a AOSP ROM is well optimised, it will boot insanely quick without Gapps etc. But it's like most os from a cold boot there are many more boot checks, rechecks and processes that need to happen. This is a useful website https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-102546
[Remix OS for PC] Kpenguin.5284:
Hi,

Updated Remix to version 3.0.207 yesterday. My PC has Ubuntu 16.04, Windows 10, and Remix OS booting through GRUB 2. After the update, I could no longer boot into Remix via GRUB. I get an error something like "Cannot locate kernel in /RemixOS/kernel" I found this thread and followed the instructions, but this didn't work. My current GRUB config for Remix looks like this:

menuentry 'Remix OS' --class android-x86 {
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,gpt7)'
linuxefi /RemixOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/RemixOS UVESA_MODE=1366x768 verbose logo.showlogo=1
initrdefi /RemixOS/initrd.img
}

I can see several problems with this since there is no "/RemixOS/kernel" directory and no "/RemixOS/initrd.img" on the Remix partition. How do I fix this problem? My Remix OS partition looks like this (I removed data.img to reduce size).

Thanks!

[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
Before using the Grub 2 guide (I don't recommend it), how did you install Remix OS? (with Windows official tool/Linux official beta installer/bootable installer, manually using unofficial methods?)

Did you do manual changes to the grub configuration file?

Can't download that drop box file now, but I'll look later.

It'd be better if you posted a screenshot with filetree of partition where RemixOS folder is placed.
[Remix OS for PC] Kpenguin.5284:
I used the Windows official tool to install it on its own partition. I manually edited GRUB (/etc/grub.d/40_custom) to add Remix OS as a boot menu entry. I initially created the entry using grub.cfg in the RemixOS folder as a guide.

Here's a screenie for the Remix directory:

/F (Remix OS partition)

/F/RemixOS

Hope this is helpful.

Thanks!

[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
Originally the grub configuration doesn't have static Remix path like in your case - it searches for it instead. Thanks to that, if you switch drives order (f.e. plug drive into different port) it still works.

So I highly recommend switching to this method. Rather try to use the original grub.cfg contents than use unofficial method. Any unofficial stuff makes support harder.

Also this method may be hindered if you have RemixOS folder on multiple partitions so have it in mind.

[MENTION=4056517]HypoTurtle[/MENTION] found what's the issue below.
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
Where is your system.sfs/kernel/initrd/ramdisk.img?

In the efi folder maybe?
[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
Oh, ur kernel initrd and rmdisk system.sfs should all be in the RemixOS folder. I didn't look closely sorry. [MENTION=4056517]HypoTurtle[/MENTION] catched the problem.

The official installer wouldn't put system.sfs to anywhere else than RemixOS. You must've fiddled with the files. I've never heard of this kind of file setup.

I hope the recent OTA didn't go this wrong.
[Remix OS for PC] capoeiraES:
I installed Remix-OS (iso downloaded today) on my brother's laptop today after installing Manjaro Linux.

it failed to add itself in grub, and os-prober doesn't find it, but simply adding to /etc/grub.d/40_custom:

menuentry "Remix-OS" {
set root=(hd0,1)
linux /RemixOS/kernel
initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img
}

solved it.

you have to check out the HD numbering of Grub. the partition was the first of the only HD and I had to choose "hd0,1"
[Remix OS for PC] Kpenguin.5284:
I'm pretty sure I haven't messed with the files at all.

Here's a timeline of what I did before and after the update:

Got notification that a new update had been downloaded. Hit reboot and update. Computer reboots, and I select Remix in the GRUB menu. Remix boots to a blue update screen with a percentage bar. The update completes and the Remix desktop appears. I use Remix for about five minutes and then shut down. A few hours later, I try to boot into Remix, but it shows a black terminal-like screen with the "cannot find kernel" error.

I'm pretty sure I haven't done anything unusual with the system or files. I've searched in the Remix partition, but the kernel folder, rmdisk, and system.sfs are all missing. I don't understand how Remix was able to work at all after the update if those files were missing. Since those vital files are missing, I guess I'll have to reinstall Remix. Is it possible to me to keep data.img, reinstall the system files, and then copy it in so I don't have to reinstall all my apps and files?

Thanks for your help,

Kp
[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
Yes, of course you can move data.img elsewhere and then restore it after reinstall.

Have you looked for the missing files? It'd be good to know where they landed eventually.
[Remix OS for PC] Kpenguin.5284:
They're nowhere to be found. Turned every folder inside out.
[Remix OS for PC] capoeiraES:
you are still having that problem? kernel and initrd.img should be in that boot folder
[Remix OS for PC] Kpenguin.5284:
Just did a fresh install of the latest version of Remix OS using the official installer tool. My /RemixOS folder looks like this:

My grub config file in /etc/grub.d/40_custom looks like this:

menuentry "Remix OS" --class remixos --class android-x86 --class gnu-linux --class os {
set root=(hd0,6)
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /kernel
linux /RemixOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 SERIAL=random logo.showlogo=1 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet DATA= USB_DATA_PARTITION=1
initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img
}

Remix still won't boot from GRUB and shows this error whenever I try to boot:

error: no such device: /kernel.
error: file '/RemixOS/kernel' not found.
alloc magic is broken at 0x9e64ae80: 9e524a20
Aborted. Press any key to exit.

Can someone please post what my grub config needs to look like in order for Remix to work? What am I doing wrong here? :confused::confused::confused: I copied the grub configuration out of /boot/grub/grub.cfg in the Remix partition. Please help.

Thank you!

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ashirviskas:
It usually happens when I plug it into my laptop with the USB cable included. It just stops charging randomly and starts heating. Heats up to aroung 70-80C, and you can smell burning plastic. I don't know how to fix this and it usually starts working properly soon. The warranty wouldn't take it, because it's hard to recreate this. (Only thing that stops my G5 from burning is my laptop. It automatically disconnects G5 with a warning that a power surge was detected)

It also heats up the microUSB to USB-C adaptor, I just tried it [for the first time. Had a Nexus 5x before].

What do I do? How do I get it replaced? Do I wait for it to catch on fire or what?

Wtf? Burning plastic and they won't take it back? Thats crazy! Just make up stuff at that rate. Use the usual issue GPS not working.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ashirviskas:
​

Well, plastic isn't actually burning, but it smells just like overheated melting cable rubber (I know that because I solder a lot and sometimes I even manage to burn some components, so I know the smell. But that's another story). And there's no visual damage on the port or cable, after cooling it starts working properly again.

Hello!

I didin't unlock my bootloader, but before that I would like to known the what "sony functions" will be disabled ( lost because drm ).

I've got previously a z3c, and we lose the camera normal functionality. On aosp roms, the cam had a fish eye effects.

And one more thing. What about our XC's code name? Is it a "kugo"?

Yes, X Compact is kugo (the platform is Loire, which it shares with X (suzu))

Camera seems to work fine in cm-13, no noticeable distortions

Unlocking bootloader will lose bionz (for the camera), but I'm not sure what else (owned the device for 10 minutes before unlocking)

AndroPlus's kernel says it has a DRM patch, but I don't know if it works or what functionality it restores

Hi!

Thanks for the info. On Z3c we loose playstation remote, x-reality, sound enchantments and i think phone mirror to tv... some camera algorythm what made some better pictures at night. But the worsest thing was the camera got fish eye on it. Our new cam on "kugo" got an rgb and laser sensor.. i hope they functional too. Hmmm.. on weekend, i give a try to unlock than root the phone. I don't like so many google apps on my phone, and i can't delete they until i root it.

I will made some pictures before unlocking, than after unlocked.
