[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
So far as I know, it's not possible to make a scatter file for the HD 8...at least not possible for UNROOTED ones. Amazon has several security and locking features in place which lock that information on the other side of the bootloader. So programs such as MTK Droid Tools, won't be able to read the code to create a scatter file. Unfortunately this is the case with nearly every phone with a locked bootloader, unless your provider or manufacturer allows it to be unlocked through official channels.

Looking on the deepweb I've seen posts in forums in China (where a significant portion of one click rooting software comes from) and there is supposedly exploits for the newest MTXXXX's, but I have yet to find anything. There are very few exploits for the MT8XXX types. Most exploits are for the MT6XXX types.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] diplomatic:
Well, I'm talking about creating the scatter file manually, like I did for my locked/unrooted Asus ZenPad 8.0. No root tools or any special apps necessary. I'm not sure you understand what a scatter file contains. It is simply the partition layout of the device's flash memory and some parameters of each partition relevant to SP Flash Tool. If you have root and busybox you already have everything you need to make one. Just read back the GPT (dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=gpt.bin bs=4K count=1) and open with a hex editor and do some number crunching. It might even be possible to read the flash memory of a locked device with SP Flash Tool.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone is having the same issues as I am with the front camera in third party apps being so slow? I use Snapchat a lot, and whenever I try to use the front camera in low light, it's so slow. I get like 2-3 frames a second.

Is there any way to force low light mode off on snapchat? Or off completely? The back camera works perfectly.

My phone is the Samsung Galaxy S4 i545 on Verizon. Rooted on 5.0.1 OF1 Lollipop.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
If you use the flash-all batch file to flash the factory image just go into the batch file and delete the -w paramater. Alternately you can flash each partition separately with fastboot.

To maintain twrp don't flash the recovery image. With any of this you'll have to root again.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elfeno:
Hi everyone !

I face a strange problem,

Last day, my nose started bleeding and a drop of blood has fallen on the lowest speaker. I washed it under clear water to get it off. (Since it's waterproof it shall not create any problems...)

Since this event, the sony style cover mode keep thinking that i'm opening and closing the smart cover.

Firstly, the screen was going on and off by itself, I wans't understanding what's happening since in recovery mode all is working fine.

Later, a pop up showed on my screen asking me to give permissions to smart cover app. I denied since I don't use it.

Luckily I have a smart cover that I don't use (it's not handy when fully opened so I stopped using it, it cannot be because of this since I flashed a lot of differents firmware since this day)

I paired the cover with the phone when the screen was on for enough time. It does had worked and instead of shutting down the screen, displayed the smart cover screen lock (A small square in the center of the screen, fitting with the window)

To avoid this, I deleted the smart cover app folder and datas using recovery, rebooted, miracle ! No more little square screen !

But... Even if the screen is as it should be, touchsceen is not working on the non window areas (it does work only in the square of the window. So I can't use touchscreen outside of this area.

I tried to delete all things I found related to "touchblock" in system and data but it does not worked...

I can do every actions on my phone using Adb with wifi or not, control on the screen using a mouse with otg or using wifi with teamviewer, or using recovery to do everything system side !

If someone is able to help me finding a solution let me know i'll be very grateful !

Thanks for reading (And sorry if i made mistakes in my explainations, English is not my first language )

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] flyingchoc:
Hi!

I m trying to get my TTYN II to playback avi files but cant seem to make it happen... I've tried downloading the Core player but that gives an error saying it doest have the MPEG-4 codec? Where do I get the codec's from?

Thanks,

Neil
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NguyenHuu:
it shouldnt ask for mp4 codec if you are playing an avi file. different formats. did you download the latest version of core player? make sure you get the one for pocket pc and the latest version is 0.72RC1. avi works fine for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Smaniac:
AVI is just a file format, it has nothing to do with the codec. So there can be MPEG4 AVIs. Actually most are (DivX and Xvid are MPEG4). MPEG4 videos don't necessarily have the .mp4 extension.

Don't know how to install the codec though, don't have a Kaiser yet lol.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] texarcana:
If you installed the core player (http://www.coreplayer.com/) then you should be able to play avi files. What version are you using ?

Try to uninstall and reinstall it and try again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
I'll be watching for responses as I'm also wanting to play MPEG 4 files (with avi extensions - from ATI's Multimedia Centre Software on my desktop PC) on my TyTN II. I'd prefer just to use a codec to provide this functionality in the built in version of pocket media player (what I currently use for wmv files).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] texarcana:
Try this then:

Thank you for that format expansion cab link texarcana, and it's free too. Will try it out on Cristmas day if I have the time. :D

[Edit] Alas it didn't allow playing of my ATI Multimedia Centre produced mp4 AVI files - back to wmv for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jgermuga:
So does this work any better than TCPMP at playing back mp4 files?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] texarcana:
Better ? Prolly not.

But instead of installing another player, you just add some codecs with it instead.

Anyway, my personal favourite is the core mobile player (which isnt free)

Since the P2P doesn't have built-in optical image stabilization, I thought people would be interested in this. The app uses the P2P's Tango motion and depth sensors to keep the camera steady as you shoot. The results look fairly impressive. The video at the link below shows some examples.

[Wileyfox Swift] thomson.aa:
Hello

I am going to release unofficial builds of LineageOS 14.1 for Wileyfox Crackling. The builds will be updated every month after a new security patch level is reached.

The build I made can be flashed on top of Cyanogenmod 13 build (with wiping dalvik and cache). It should work without any problems; I do not experience any.

But I do not take any responsibility if your favorite app/setting/etc. is not working anymore.

If it makes problems, wipe data/dalvik/cache and install again.

Besides that the ROM has two extra features:

I patched signature spoofing support into the ROM. Now it is possible to install microG. This is a re-implementation of Google’s proprietary Android user space apps and libraries. So for many cases you do not have to install the proprietary GAPPS anymore.

Note: This feature is disabled by default and will not affect the ROM in any way. It has to be enabled in the according settings.

Also, there's an option available to record calls now. Please respect the privacy of others.

I dirty flashed this over crDroid and it seems to be working pretty well. Thanks.

All my app's (not many at the moment) were working fine.

Playstore thinks it's 'no carrier Wileyfox Wileyfox Swift'... but I guess that's better than 'Wileyfox Pixel XL' (crDroid). ;)

On initial booting the status bar wouldn't pull down but works ok after a reboot.

Buttons were a bit messed up which only gave me a back button even though the usual defaults were all set. After deleting them and re-adding them they worked fine. I'm guessing this may be due to dirty flashing. Shame the button customisation is just as basic as cm13 especially after using crDroid.

Using Kernal Auditor Mod I see that the cpu only scales down to 800mhz and the gpu scales up to 400mhz. I don't know much about this but won't this make it a little power hungry?

Going through the settings, I'm thinking that LOS14 isn't quite as complete as the cm13 I was using a few weeks ago. Although I guess this is to be expected at this stage. And I'm used to the more versatile crDroid now so I'll be restoring that in a mo.

This MicroG project sounds great. It seems a bit complex to get it working as I'd like but I definitely be having a go when I get my head around it.

All in all, Great job. Keep up the good work... please. I'm already waiting for the next release. ;)

Oh, and er... Surely you could find a better file host???

I tried to build the Image myself by using your other Thread's How-To and after flashing i had no WIFI.

Now i flashed this build and WIFI is also not working.

[Edit]

I've collected some Logs - perhaps they'll help.

[Edit2]

Now i tried another '14.1-ROM' and i've the same problem....

During all my Tests the shown MAC-Address during the 'inital install' was weird: 02:00:00:00:00:00.

Before the 14.1 Lineage i had the latest CMmod 13 running without any Problems :/
[Wileyfox Swift] fred0r:
Ok - solved it....

I encrypted my Device during CM13 and always entered my Key during Boot/TWRP and Formatting/Installation of 14.1.

Now i *really* formated all the Data (and the former encryption), rebooted to Recovery and sideloaded the Image+Gapps.

Now WIFI is working.

How do I enable signature spoofing ? I can't find any relevant setting.
[Wileyfox Swift] thomson.aa:
Settings -> Apps -> Gear symbol -> App permissions -> Spoof package signature
[Wileyfox Swift] M.A.K:
No... it's not there for me.
[Wileyfox Swift] thomson.aa:
Works like it is supposed to be. The setting/app permission is only available if you install an app that requires that permission.

So, if you install microG the setting for signature spoofing will become available.

[Samsung Gear S3] jrbuji:
Does anyone have problem with Automatic low brightness. When i set it, it works but when a notification comes it goes brighter (this is normal) but after 15 seconds when it goes AOD mode sometimes screen not goes dark again even in low light environment. it keeps itself bright. Then i need to push the one of the buttons to awake the watch then auto brightness low works well as it should be. I dont thing this watch has a good light sensor like s7 or s7 edge phone.
[Samsung Gear S3] 10urshin:
Although i notice this too, it is not sensor's fault, watch does have an excellent ambient sensor. You can test ambient sensor in:

Settings -> Gear Info -> About Device -> Tap several (5 if i remember correctly) times to Software Version -> dial *#0*# -> Sensor -> Scroll down to light sensor -> Click display -> It will show you the raw and lux values from sensor.

Now the problem is at s/w side, OS is not polling sensor readings while it is in always on display mode, so watch stays exactly at the same brightness level as it goes into the aod and since notifications keeps a screen lock that brightens the screen it enters aod with a bright screen. We should report this to the samsung for a fix probably.
[Samsung Gear S3] jrbuji:
Well I've found that if i close open screen menu (i mean for new notifications open gear's screen) when notification comes from samsung gear app, it doesnt happening. it stays in low light.
[Samsung Gear S3] 10urshin:
Did you change anything except that notification settings? I tried changing notification settings but it didn't make any difference. But flashing my watch did solve the problem or it seems so, so far. I was at R760XXU1APK6 firmware i flashed R760XXU1APK7 now. I don't know if it is fixed because of firmware difference or if it was caused by an application on the watch and flashing got rid of it. I'll update this post if it returns in any point.

Edit: I used the watch during the day today and it is back so it wasn't about firmware or apps after all. Now i regret flashing.
[HTC One E8] TouchyDiamond:
Hi guys

I must have been spending 10+ hours on this issue, now I'm close to giving up. I wanted to send my E8 (EU, SingleSIM) in for repairs under warranty, because the battery is bloated (got a curved screen already...). Before that, I just wanted to make sure everything looks as stock as possible (even though I know I cannot reverse everything completely without this "S-Off" thing - just wanted to avoid them blaming the broken battery on modifications... sounds absurd but who knows).

The problem is that I'm now stuck with a phone without any OS at all, and it doesn't accept any method of flashing anymore.

First I tried flashing stock RUUs (always tried various, redownloaded, tried different cards) via SD card. This always lead to the error: "Device halted due to large image update fail"

Next I tried flashing stock RUU.zips via fastboot. This always ends with a "header error 32" (can't remember exactly after so many attempts).

Then I tried RUU.exe (again various) from HTC official updates - those always end (don't really start) with "signature error".

Finally, I tried my luck with several TRWPs. Result is always: "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary" in the zip file. Error installing..."

All these things sound like failed integrity checks to me, but I cannot believe that every single RUU, RUU.exe or TWRP I downloaded was really corrupt.

To add to the excitement, the battery seems to get more and more bloated, the longer I experiment, and I'd really like to avoid a "Samsung experience"... :D

Is there anything left I could try before giving up?

EDIT: Ok, I fixed it myself thanks to these posts:

I have no idea why I didn't stumble across them earlier, but fact is that the ROM from androidfilehost works, while the one with exactly the same version numbers I had tried initially was corrupted (not by download, but put like that on server). And all the other stuff I tried was probably somehow incompatible. Anyway, now I have clean Lollipop and the battery didn't explode either, so I can send the phone to HTC. :D
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BunnyPig:
Hello.

For a long time now I haven't been able to listen to any music at all from my phone. This hasn't really bothered me because I rarely use it for music. Now I just discovered this again and I can't let it go, I cannot just leave this. I am irritated, frustrated and it's annoying the hell out of me.

Google Play Music (or any music app) won't find my music! I have put it in different folders and locations but nothing helps. I can't find my downloaded music either through Google Play Music. When it's downloaded the app tells me it's stored locally somewhere and it works offline, so it's on my phone somewhere (I know Play Music stores them in numeric names).

The odd thing is though, if I set a music file as my ringtone, Play Music will find the song under "Unknown artists" and "Unknown Albums". THIS is what irritates me, why can't it just find my Music folder?

I've tried a lot of things;

Formatted my phone and reinstalled it (even stock won't find it)

Cleared Cache and Dalvik

Reinstalled the app(s)

Tried different formats (.ogg, .m4a, .mp3 for example)

Used apps to "Rescan" my internal storage (media finder)

I had this issue on my old Samsung device with CM10. On my N6P I'm currently running PureNexus 6.0.1-20160803-OFFICIAL.

Whoever can help me with this will be my hero, trust me, this is so freaking annoying I'm actually considering buying an iPhone............... Alright, that was a little too extreme, I would never do that. That's just the frustration inside me talking.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I created a folder called Music that is in a location accessible when I plug my phone into the computer. I have my music organized as follows--artist folder/album folder/songs. My songs are all mp3 format, which works on Android. I use a third party music player (Black Player currently, Shuttle Music Player previously).. The music player automatically finds the albums I stored. I don't think Google's Music App works as a music player for your own music. Are you ripping your own music or downloading it or what? Do your music files have meta-tags that allow a music player to identify what the music is?
