[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Blaalad12:
Just curious! As the htc 10 does not have an AMOLED panel. Is there any advantage at all to using dark mode within certain apps / using black wallpapers??
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] knochnkopf:
none that I'm aware of.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Blaalad12:
Yeah iam guessing it will make NO difference with regards improving battery life! Although iam actually content with this display.... i do wish it was amoled
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Blaalad12:
Can anyone else confirm or deny that it has no affect at all on lcd panels?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dlads:
I would say that it will make a difference but it'll be marginal. Making a screen light up white vs a dull black I would assume would use less power.

No it's not amoled but there should be a difference, however slight.

I always go blacked out on all my phones, just looks better.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] m.4_ts@yahoo.com:
I think there is no effect, since it is an lcd. Backlight would always be on no matter what wallpaper you put, it will still consume battery.. Not like amoled, every black part of the screen, means that led is off.. Correct me if im wrong..
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dlads:
That is correct, however different colours use different amounts of power however marginal.. White would use the most as its top of the spectrum, black being the least.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] bigpeet666:
Sure I read black uses more on LCD but it'll be marginal
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dlads:
Black does use more than amoled but vs white it would use less.

Some literature to support my claim.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] bigpeet666:
What I'm saying is....on LCD.....black uses more than white does

...so black wouldn't save any battery......reverse on oled

On old LCD maybe, but not on our screens, theyre smart LCD and can modify the lighting given for pixels, read that page I sent it'll say the same.

Hi,

this is not strictly Kaiser specific I guess.

I recall sometime ago seeing a feature which looked useful. When somebody calls you and lets say you are busy, meeting or driving etc.

You get a prompt to refuse the call and at the same time send a pre-defined text message back to them straight away.

So they get put through to your voicemail and also recieve a text from you to say "Sorry I'm in a meeting, will get back to you ASAP" . Is this a WM 2005+ feature?

Also another one :)

Is it possible to only send your caller id to people that are in your contacts list when making calls? Anybody else does not see your number?

Thought I saw that one on my old XDA iis?

Thanks

Mike
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NguyenHuu:
the text msg one seems useful. what if they are calling from a landline and not mobile like with most businesses? will the sms bounce back to you and says unable to send or something? just curious.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dirky:
Well I seem to recall it was up to you what you did with the call, ie based on the number ringing . In the uk at least its possible to spot a mobile number easily.

I seem to think a small menu came up with several choices.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jomo25:
There are several apps (commercial ones) that do this. PhotoContacts Pro does it. And I think a couple of other phone utils do also (SPB or VITO may make one, don't remember).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dirky:
Yes that looks very much like it.

I was sure it was part of WM already. Must have got it wrong.

Thanks, I'll check it out when I get my WM device soon!

Call Firewall

I'm using call firewall, it's a great app imo....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
Photo Contact Pro has a reject/auto SMS feature. As for caller ID, My Kaiser has the following function. Go to phone, Menu tab, Options, Services, highlite Caller ID & press get settings. It then allows me the option to:

1. Send ID to everyone

2. Send ID to contacts only

3. Do not send ID

Maybe this is AT&T specific, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Thank you very much. I have great respect for the people who create the firmware. But since I am a newcomer to the firmware, I'm afraid to do something wrong. Therefore, if it is possible to provide only phone program as apk or zip for installation through TWRP.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CozzY2453:
There is nothing difficult in changing original to custom ROM, really. The formula is very easy but extremely important to do it right:

Backup + ADB + TWRP + ZIP = NEW ROM

My advice - for the first time install a custom ROM made of the stable official (latest 20s). Dev ROMs or CM ports have often issues.

Well, a month has passed, and I've forgotten everything I knew about this device, but I'll give it a shot when I have a chance. Stay tuned.

[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] patrixs94:
Ok, I will test it. Have one question - is it safe? :) In case of bootloop occurs, do you have any idea how to exit it? Can't find any RUU in web - that was the way I ever exit it, and by this way I was restoring official software. Is there any another way?

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

Ok, I founded one, but it does not fit to my mid/ cid . And I dont have s-off :/
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] Captain_Throwback:
Flashing recovery shouldn't bootloop your device. Recovery is an entirely separate partition. You can try using "fastboot boot recovery.img" to see if that works, as that won't change anything on the device, but not all devices support it.

Honestly though, if you're not comfortable enough to test this, then there's no reason for me to work on this. Like I said, I know next to nothing about this device, so I need someone that can help me debug and provide logs, etc. Otherwise this exercise is futile.
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] vejda:
Tested

Hi,

thank you, it´s great you are working on TWRP for this phone! I have tried to use it. After download it says booting on notebook and Start downloading on phone:

C:\fastboot\ fastboot boot recovery.img

downloading `boot.img`......

OKAY (1.453s)

booting...

After hard restart the phone works again.

Does it helps you?

T.
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] Captain_Throwback:
All that tells me is that your device doesn't support fastboot boot. So you'll need to flash it to test whether it works or not.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] vejda:
Thx. Flashed, after booting to recovery mode there is start screen, but I am not able to swipe to unlock it. Where can I find the log? Is it something like db.fatal.dbg?
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] Captain_Throwback:
/tmp/recovery.log

Is adb working? If so, you can adb pull the above file. Then I can at least see how much is working (besides touch being broken).
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] vejda:
Yes, ADB works, but the file doesn´t exist (with the way /tmp/recovery.log). Only general bugreport, attached.
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] Captain_Throwback:
The recovery log has to exist while in TWRP.
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] vejda:
ADB doesn´t run while TWRP, screen attached.
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] Captain_Throwback:
That error is on the computer side, not on the device. Fix your adb on your computer and then try adb in TWRP again.
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] vejda:
Ok, thx. I am not expirienced user of it, but try to solve it :) Where are all the others? Hey!!
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] vejda:
Here it is!

Here is the log, I was using old ADB.
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] Captain_Throwback:
Thanks. It looks like the init I'm using is somehow incompatible with your device, even though I'm pretty sure I pulled it from a recovery or boot img from the device. Maybe I'll try swapping OT with a different one and see if that works any better. None of the partitions are getting mounted right now, so that's a big problem. The log definitely gives me somewhere to start, though. This will be difficult since I don't own the device, but at least it boots and adb works, so remote debugging may be possible.
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] vejda:
Thank you very much! Is there something I can try to do with my phone? Mount the SD card f.e.?
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] Captain_Throwback:
No, there's nothing else you can do right now. I need to produce another test build using a different init binary. Once I do that, you can test it.

Hi Captain_Throwback,

I am not trying to interfere or indeed tell you anything but came across this thread while doing a little research.

I have not got this phone either but been a Mediatek device there are a few quirks to watch for which I brought up in the SuperR kitchen thread when it comes to recovery's and MediaTek and I have been caught out a couple of times by this.

the main one is that the mounts can differ while in recovery and could be any one of these examples.

Upper Case

/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.[COLOR="Red"][B]MSDC0[/B][/COLOR]/by-name/

Lower Case

/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.[COLOR="Red"][B]msdc0[/B][/COLOR]/by-name/

Old School

/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/

From the log yours seems to be using Upper Case but could be one of the others. :confused:

Obviously If someone while in your test recovery could do you a

adb shell

ls /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0

That would let you know which they have Upper, Lower or Old School.
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] Captain_Throwback:
This is why I don't build for Mediatek devices, and why I don't build for devices I don't have :/. I think I'm done trying to help here.
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] bigrammy:
Nothing wrong with Mediatek bro but building for devices you don't have is always going to be difficult. :eek:

I would class a booting first build as a success and I am sure that with the correct feedback from these users it would fully working in no time at all. :o

The Elephone P9000 uses the same CPU btw. https://twrp.me/devices/elephonep9000.html
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] Captain_Throwback:
Last time I checked, Mediatek didn't post kernel source, so I'd definitely say there's something wrong with violating GPL :/. At any rate, I don't think I have the patience or tolerance for dealing with it, especially since there's still the hurdle of broken touch (a kernel side issue). Thanks for the feedback, though.

Was there any luck with building a working TWRP for this device? I acquired HTC One A9s recently after my ASUS Z00T sort of died (SIM1 slot is not working correctly anymore and SIM2 has no mobile data by design) ... was hoping to find a working TWRP, so I can finally root this bad boy :)

any kind of a guide or tutorial would be appreciated, thanks!
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] Captain_Throwback:
I'd look in the Magisk forum for instructions on how to patch a boot image with Magisk Manager. I don't have this device, so you're on your own with finding an RUU for your software version, which you can use the RUU Decrypt Tool to extract the boot.img from. Then you can fastboot flash it after patching it with Magisk, and you should be rooted. That's the best I can do for you.
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] fenixus:
Thank you.

I think I got the Magisk part covered (just researched it and it sounds awesome), but the biggest problem seems to be getting a backup of stock boot.img file without root, for Magisk Manager to patch it...

I found those methods of getting boot & recovery partition images, but unfortunately all of them require root:

https://www.addictivetips.com/mobil...es-boot-recovery-and-system-partition-images/

I tried the adb shell method, but the cat proc/mtd output is empty when issued under (non-root) user permissions.

I'm really ready to give it a go on Magisk Manager boot.img patching process (then swapping boot images with fastboot) ... got stuck on the boot.img dump step ...
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] Captain_Throwback:
Did you read what I said about finding an RUU? That doesn't require root. You just need to find one for your current software version.

[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] Captain_Throwback:
Search the Magisk section about how to use Magisk Manager to patch it.

And remember - the boot.img you use should be from the same software version that you're currently running (and for your device, obviously).
[HTC One A9s Questions & Answers] Jesus David Otero:
