Hi all, there won't be any kernel updates for the time being, coz I'm busy for Chinese new year, maybe 2nd/3rd week of Feb.

Noticed some battery issues with RR nougat for the past week, its the ROM itself with stock kernel (check their thread). I recommend either roll back to previous working versions or wait it out.

TBH, its really best to wait for Lineage to streamline everything officially, then the ROMs adopt it. Try to understand the birthing pains coz CM is gone for good, their infra & back end devs. Its the same for other phone models, their ROMs and custom kernels. Once u see the night lies are up, wait for the ROM devs to sync.

I haven't been using my PC for the past 7 days. Battery savings apps I'm using now

Cm13 xposed

Greenify, shallow hibernation & aggressive doze disabled

ForceDoze, doze delay 0, disable motion sensing for doze (root), (force doze immediately after screen off, ignore any physical movement)

Disable Battery Optimization for apps which need immediate notifications, ie greenify, forcedoze, calendar, clock alarm app, WhatsApp etc

Note greenify & forcedoze need root but can function without xposed, so nougat users can try them, pls report results if you do

Check with BetterBatteryStats XDA version, phone goes into Deep Sleep most of the time, batt drainage is 0-1.5%/hr if your network/WiFi coverage is good, moderate usage
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] pokipokipxorn:
@nougat users

pls indicate which nougat rom, especially version & build date, which is more or less stable, which DOESN'T have any battery draining issues. I will then recompile a custom kernel of that rom, no eta though.

Note that I do not keep track of any nougat roms coz I don't use them. If u give me a buggy rom version, a custom kernel will not have much impact on battery backup (wasted effort). So, pls examine properly which rom version is suitable.

Hi Dev,

Yes, there is a new build for RR-N-v5.8.0-20170121-Z00L and has improved some battery life and fast charging but still it won't stick for a while... I would suggest to develop good kernel for XOSP Rom (this rom has butter smoothness than any other ROMs)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Rotated Quickbits:
[MENTION=7878674]pokipokipxorn[/MENTION] Kernel works on latest RR, but would you still release a kernel for it? Fast Charge is gone after updating. No battery issues whatsoever. Doze works fine, android OS doesn't drain battery and avg sot is 5-7hrs on full brightness

Need some help from you guys. If you have ZE550KL ZE500KL ZE551KL ZE600KL ZE601KL, SKU Global or WW, can you donate your edited QCN file to me? Please PM or mail (myuserid-at-geemaildotcom) the edited QCN file to me, otherwise I have to send my phone to ASUS service center, and it will take weeks to repair. Coz I don't have any connection to 3G/4G data connection right now, only have 2G. Thank you.

Steps to extract QCN file from phone, you need to backup your own QCN anyway

1st to disable "Driver Signature Enforcement" in Windows, allowing Qualcomm drivers to load/install

- restart windows

- before Windows logo shows, *quickly* press F8 multiple times

- a menu appears, press arrow down key, go to bottom

- select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement"

- press Enter to continue booting into Windows

Connect phone to PC, set phone in DIAG mode, at any command prompt

adb shell

wait for the adb shell, then

su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb

(phone will switch mode to DIAG, Windows will install some drivers automatically, if driver install is unsuccessful, use Qualcomm_Diag_QD_Loader_2016_driver)

To install QPST v2.7.437 & backup QCN file (note save as .qcn, NOT .xqcn)

Follow this tutorial (Step #4 onwards)

Edit QCN file using HEXedit, to replace your IMEI with 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 (imei1) and 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 (imei2), IMEI Converter if required

Follow this guide

It took me non-stop 36 hours, but I did it. My dead-bricked phone is alive. Just yesterday, it was totally non-responsive, no light, no led, no buzz, not even fastboot/recovery, due to me flashing other Zenfone 2 Laser dump image, while trying to fix my 2G problem.

Luckily, I had a partition dump backup made 2 months ago, which I found deep in my sdcard. I would recommend everyone also make a full backup, and test the restore process.

Will write a proper guide in time, for now, at the very least, use this excellent Partition Backup by wanam. Be sure to choose to backup the 100MB of phone low-level partitions.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] pokipokipxorn:
gotta jot this down before I go to sleep

note requirments of access modes, file types, restore conditions/modes, severe limitations, flow

backup & restore utility

restore utils/methods must be well tested, supported, fits limitations

EMMCRAW.exe

qpst

qfil

miflash

toolstudio

qcn editor

always make backups in preparation for restoring under worst possible scenarios like the following

#1 deadboot, without recovery, fastboot, no led/screen/buzz/response

need files emmc dump (bin/img) restore using utilities emmcraw, HDDRawCopy1.10Portable, qpst_emmcswdownload/service programming etc

need files gpt_partition_table/mbn from special service/raw asus firmware, restore using utilities qfil, miflash, qpst, asus flash tool

#2 qdloader 9006/9008 mode need latest qualcomm drivers, windows disable driver signing, minitool partition wizard, miflash, qfil

#4 partition data corruption need individual partition dumps, adb dd access

#5 nvram data corruption need efs pro, qxdm, qpst qcn access, diag mode & non-asus rom

#6 loss of screen due to breakage

new service firmware

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] pokipokipxorn:
[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

Please download the kernels you need coz I may remove the links in a few days time.

I have been told to publish the sources of all the kernels and that means I have to upload the source & commits. But I'm on a measly 4Mbps-download/512kbps-upload ADSL line (shared with others in the house) {oooe-gasp!}. Each set of kernel source takes 1.5 hours to download, plus the fetchs/commits takes longer. Typically go through 5-10 fetches to find a working version of a commit, each fetch takes 30-45mins. Can't manage so many kernels anymore, probably choose 1-2 only. Sorry.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] ernestojr.role123:
Links?

Hello Devs,

When can we expect the links to be available again?

Thanks!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] pokipokipxorn:
No ETA atm, won't have the chance to use my linux pc for the next 10 days. My office laptop is windoze.

Just sharing some observations about battery. If using ForceDoze, must disable it before restarting phone coz I noticed Kernel Adiutor Mod sometimes don't apply settings upon reaching Home Launcher. Start ForceDoze after Adiutor settings are applied.

Which ROMs have the best battery backup? Please share & compare & report.

I tested AOKP & RR, observed Aokp sustains longer times, but currently have the sim signal loss bug, see my post today at aokp thread. That's a deal breaker for me, can't be restarting my phone every hour to get back 3g/4g.

Would appreciate other ROM users to share.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] alkizmo:
Every CLICK on the D-Pad will "freeze" my device for a fraction of a second.

This problem is not apparent unless you play a D-Pad intensive game.

If I keep HOLDING down the D-Pad, the directional command will persist (as normal) and the lag will NOT last any longer than the initial fraction of a second.

The problem IS NOT present if I use OTHER keys (such as the soft keys above the D-Pad or the QWERTY keyboard keys).

For example, SkyForce is a 2d airplane fighter game with a scrolling background for the terrain. Every time i use the d-pad to move my plane, the background and all other animations will freeze for a tiny fraction of a second. As mentioned above, if I keep holding down the D-Pad, my plane will continue moving in that direction and the lag will NOT go past the initial fraction of a second from when I first press down on the D-Pad.

Another example is tetris, certain D-Pad clicks will not register in the game because the phone was still frozen from a PREVIOUS click. (Remember that in Tetris you might have to click very very very quickly, so a few of those clicks are done while the phone is still lagged).

Again I repeat, there is no lag if I use OTHER keys such as the soft keys or QWERTY keyboard.

I've been without a TyTN for over 2 months (sold mine, changed my mind after 2 months and re-bought a TyTN). So I dont know if it's this NEW phone I bought, or if it's because in the NEW customs roms released, they added some sort of D-Pad process prioritizing tweak to make it TOP priority on the CPU process scheduling.

I'm still doing tests on the matter (different custom ROMs, testing before and after installing certain applications), but so fast things are inconclusive.

Anyone experienced/experiences this problem?

Is there a fix?

thanks! :)

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] smilirulz:
Hello,

Today when I arrived at work at 9 AM, I had ~ 85% battery, after listening to music on Soundcloud for about 30 minutes on my way to work. At ~ 10 or 10:30 , i`ve noticed that while my phone was sitting on the desk without using it, several battery draining, from 85 to 65% since I got in the office. It looked weird to me, but I didnt pay attention to it.Also, I`ve noticed that the phone was heating more and more, and this heat was noticeable, even tho I`m using a hard back case on my phone. 2 hours later, it was at 30% and I was terrified. I`ve checked the Battery option in settings, and the only consumer displayed there was Android System, which drained ~12% from the battery, and some apps that were having an average of 3-4%.

After 2-3 reboots, the problem still persisted and then, after checking the battery again, guess what : facebook and facebook messenger show up with 20% and 14% battery consumed during these 5 hours, even if I didnt used the phone at all. This started all of a sudden and I dont know why. I`m running nougat oos4.0, from 31st december and this is the 1st time I`m seeing this issue. I`ve uninstalled both apps, and the problem is gone. Also, last saturday I wiped my phone because it was a bit laggy after the nougat update, so there shouldnt be any problems. Anyone encountered this issue with both apps ?

Cheers

It's too early to make final assumptions, but it seems that the battery draining has stopped, or at least it's not draining as fast as it had been... (I have lost just 2% within an hour, where I had lost around 15% during the previous one) ...

This sudden battery drain is horrible. 100 to 0 in 12 hours. Well I don't have any of those apps (Fb, messenger, twitter etc) and still am experiencing heavy battery drain.

Not sure if this is coincidence or not but, I flashed a custom Lineage rom last night and the CPU usage at idle was through the roof, the phone was draining like mad and heating up.

Again, I don't have the FB app installed, but I'm fine now on a custom Rom.

This battery drain has been largely subjective. I don't have any of these apps and yet the battery drains and on the other side, users having these FB apps/Google calendar have the drain. And all's well that ends well, glad you could sort out the issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] d3adm8n:
I recently got an S7 (Exynos) SM-G930F and decided to root it. So I went with the typical CF-Auto-Root method... I used the latest ODIN with the correct auto root file and everything went well. I have root.

But then I noticed that I didn't have any recovery, so I installed TWRP Manager from the Play Store and flashed recovery with that. Everything works fine except for not having access to backup /Data, this was expected.

But despite everything pretty much working, I've read on a few threads here that I was supposed to wipe my phone after flashing TWRP. Now I've also read the TWRP install thread which doesn't mention anything about wiping my device, but it does offer another method of rooting the S7... Flash TWRP first using ODIN, then flash SuperSU and dm-verity/force encryption disabler.

So I have a couple of questions.

In the TWRP guides it mentions this: "By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow the next step you will be unable to boot!". I've never had this issue, does CF-Auto-Root or SuperSU resolve this issue?

Do I need to install the dm-verity/force encryption disabler?

If I do have to wipe my device, am I going for a standard (factory reset) wipe? Advanced wipe (if so, which partitions?) or format data?

Unless there's another way to gain full access to all partitions in order to perform a complete nandroid backup (including data)?

Basically, once I've completely backed up the S7 I'd like to install the Xposed Framework. Will installing this lose any data?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AzzyC:
Of course you are going to want to flash .zips through your Recovery, but as you have recognised there is the DM-Verification that will stop you doing so. In order to get rid of the encryption you will have to firstly have to Factory Reset but as you know this will also delete all apps and data that you have on your Internal Storage.

Then, you need to flash a .zip called 'no-verity-encryption-opt' and this will apply a patch onto your boot so you can flash unknown images and zips through.

If you can't find this no verity zip, leave me your email and I'll try and send it to you.

Good luck!

Also, installing the Xposed Framework will not cause you to lose any of your data.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] d3adm8n:
Thanks for the info.

I may have already done this, I honestly can't remember. Is there any way to check if I've already installed no-verity-encryption-opt? Because I am already able to install zips in Recovery, so far I've installed a SuperSU update and AdAway. Although I do get a fair amount of 'Failed/Unable to mount /data' messages which may suggest that these zip installs didn't actually work.

I guess I still need to factory reset? And I guess that also means rooting again and installing no-verity-encryption-opt, then finally Xposed?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AzzyC:
I had the same error message you are facing right now. Can you let me know what values you see when you view the Data, System and Cache partition, after clicking on 'Partition Options' - If you're on the latest TWRP you can take screenshots by hitting the Power and Vol Down.

^^^IGNORE^^^

No factory reset required. Basically, the file system of your Data partition is incorrect and that is why it can't be mounted on to.

Go to 'Wipe'->'Advanced Wipe'->Click on the Data box->'Partition Options'->(You may be seeing values like 0mb for most of the information displayed and why you can't mount to it; if you are not let me know!)->'Change File System'->(Try out different File Systems until you being to see true values for the sizes, but avoid using EXT2 and EXT3 if you can)

Doing all this you will be able to Mount to your Data partition, however your OS will be deleted! So get your phone into Download mode, open up Odin program on your PC, and flash a Bootloader (BL) and your phone will be fine.

Then flash the 'no-verity-encryption-opt.zip' and then your SU Binary and Xposed Framework etc.

Good luck again Buddy!

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

Wait Install the No-verity zip first then, then flash a BL
