[Omni Q&A] kodelord:
Hello

i am not able to post in the Dev section where the other bug reports seem to be , as I am new, so I am posting here in case it helps. If there is some where else I should, please let me know.

Running 7.1.1 N4F26I on an oppo find 7 x9076,

When the screen is off, and i press the power button to wake it up, on some occassions, the screen is weird; the vertical left half and right half are interchanged. T

So the screen which should look like [AB] looks like B][A

I am able to bring up the reboot menu by pressing the power button and touching the reboot icon (which appears to the right of where it originally should. he only recourse is to reboot, to revert to normal.

This doesnt happen every single time that the screen is off, but I am not able to reliably reproduce. I'd reckon this happens 1 in 10 times.

Other than that, great ROM, and very snappy on the Find 7.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekery15:
For starters, I've got the Tmobile version (not sure if that makes a difference, but I figured I should say it)...

I'm sure I tried everything I could except the method that involves the OTG cable. Trying to root it or apply twrp recovery only fails each and every time through odin.

I tried Smartswitch. I tried Kies... Kies actually took a really long time and I thought it was going to work, but it didn't.

I even tried to do some wifi/server things with another phone by using thethering (is what I believe it was)...still no luck.

The phone belonged to a sister of mine, but she couldn't remember the password she used to log in. She passed the phone on to my dad. He was never able to get in and now I've got it.

I thought rooting it would fix the problem, but that's because I knew about the chokehold security on it... the FRP business.

Can someone please help me? My sister says she's working on it (which probably means she isn't or it's on the back burner). I would really like to use the camera on the S5.

Is there another direction I can go in to get into this phone? It's driving me a little nuts at this point.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
good luck getting around it without paying an unlocking company. if its actually your sisters phone, you might want to poke the bear, otherwise youre gonna be spending $?? to get it unlocked. I say ?? after the $ because of the variability of the price from site to site. I know that idoneapps.com does it for $35, and i trust their work completely, but ive also seen people talking about other sites advertising that theyll do it for less from companies out of zimbabwe. take the location of the company for what its worth. Anyways, poke the bear aka, your sister :) (no insult intended, just a euphemism)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekery15:
Thanks -- offense taken. I hope she's able to recover the password. I was almost certain I'd get a reply like this. It's annoying, but here I go-a-pokin. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
yeah, its the pits, but either spend some money for a third party workaround, or get your sister in contact with samsung
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekery15:
Come to find out that my sister had dropped the phone and couldn't turn it back on. She sent it to our dad... and he wiped the phone without thinking to turn off the security. He didn't know though... he came from an S4 and I don't think they had it on there. I've got a note 3 (my first real smartphone) so I had no clue this would happen.

He keeps telling me it's google and not Samsung. Apparently a year or so ago when he asked her for the password, she said she emailed google and they were going to send her the password in two weeks... I asked why two weeks and he couldn't give me an answer.

This truly is the pits. I'm literally still waiting for a call from either of them at this point.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] coyoty123:
I broke my MicroUSB port on my redmi 3, bought a new PCB changed it but my phone still doesn't charge.

It fits into my phone but it does have some different writting on it compared to the one in the phone

The new one has 09 CTFS 1603C witten on the back, my old one has 04 HMFS 1605 (but I could not find one like this on the website)

Does someone know what to test to see if it's working ? or where can I find a model that will work ?

Tesla Rom

[MENTION=7786725]zgfg[/MENTION]

I haven't started a separate thread because it is an unofficial port based on cm13 + TeslaOs . I am looking for some guys to help me kill bugs . I am not a developer but used a guide for porting mtk roms by Sandeep.Sethi plus his personal help to get it to boot . I need help because i don't know how to fix some major bugs and i use my phone daily .I want to learn to port because I am interested in porting MM roms like aicp + rr + teslaOs but it seems tje recognized developers are focusing on NOUGAT and aosp + cyanogen. Apart from Sandeep and a couple of other mtk porters I have been met with silence when asking for help. I can't create a thread dedicated to the rom because it is a project which isn't ready for release but rather just something for the brave to try out and possibly fix major bugs . I tried porting a RRemix rom the wkend from lenovo note but bricked my phone . I am waiting for about 3 guys who own metal phones and want to learn to port to create a team with me so we can kill bugs and get help from the experienced guys but these guys are or all too busy or just not forth coming with any info on patches or they just don't want to share their hard work . I have found porters are friendlier and more open with advice . Hope that answers your questions .

I will try to do more this weekend .

Battery Drain

I almost gave up on this phone due to massive battery drain even in aeroplane mode with most apps killed. While CM13_Metal_BetaTest_1 with DarkSense kernel wasn't too bad, I decided to give the stock ROM 20161226 a try, but with many disabled or removed apps and services. I was able to disable normally only a few apps of interest:

Gmail

Google App

Maps

TalkBack

Others had to be deleted in TWRP. Mount 'system' and remove (or move):

/system/app/AdupsFota

/system/app/AdupsFotaReboot

/system/app/Email

/system/app/Google TTS

/system/app/LocationEM2

/system/app/Schedule power on & off

/system/app/Shly...//ALL of them!

/system/app/User Dictionary

/system/app/Voice Command

/system/app/VoiceUnlock

Screen Off Standby Power Drain Now:

Aeroplane mode, 12hr: 83-->82%

SIM 3G network, 12hr: 81-->79%

Note on the attached screenshot the rapid power drop from 100%. There is something wrong with software or hardware of the power gauge and it is best to start testing from below 90%. One or more of these apps is responsible for the massive power drain. It would be interesting to find out exactly which one.

I hope you will find my experiment useful. Please share your observations.

Eragon +( same as above )

Cm13 by Lucky76

Cm14 by Johnny

Aosp 7.1.1 by M.A.D

and tbh they all run okayish with a medium amount of tweaking and start throwing errors with heavy tweaking

i abandoned stock because it always seemed as if the phone just got worse as time went on .....i deleted the apps you mentioned and many more after doing a lot of forum searching

my phone gave me trouble after deleting locationEM2 and I had to restore at some point .

im running aosp 7.1.1 by M.A.D again and after a clean install and using these GAPPS as suggested I've been rather content with battery life , calls , home button, etc..

[Miscellaneous Android Development] k23m:
I got rid off LocationEM2 because it was making persistent internet connections to China. I suppose some apps may depend on it but I see no problem without it so far. I eliminated all suspect, connection-making, spyware-likely apps. As you can see on the attached process list, it is now very clean and running optimally, with a very reasonable 5% per 24 hours power drain (over 20% before the mods).

Also, the battery drain test continues. Now at 62% with "6 days left" estimate. I will never buy another Mediatek device but this Ulefone Metal maybe is not so bad after all. I love its highly sensitive GPS but the rest is below average or useless (fingerprint scanner).

Yes I tried AOSP 7.1.1 by M.A.D too but battery drain was worse than unmodified stock ROM's. I may try it again but with different Gapps, as suggested.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] zgfg:
How much power drain (standby) you have but with WiFi and 3G?

Without Lcation EM2, do location services (e.g., positioning, navigation, photo tagging) based on GPS and/or WiFi/3G still work correctly?

Also, are you making tests with or without the original case cover, and have you maybe located which service should be deleted to get rid off s-window clock and multimedia controls showing behind the covered screen and preventing phone to go deep sleeping (hence draining the battery on standby with the original cover case)?

Btw, Eragon is based on stock (Oct) and it has already two Adups services removed.

Also, I'm wondering, you have removed Gmail and mail - do you use another mail app (or you read mail over browser, or you don't use mail at all)?

(Without mail, Maps, voice commands, scheduled power on/off, user dictionary - why do you need a smartphone :) )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] k23m:
Good questions...

How much power drain (standby) you have but with WiFi and 3G?
​

In the ongoing test, aeroplane mode is off, WiFi/BT off, 3G phone network is on but data is off (for the duration of this test).

Without Lcation EM2, do location services (e.g., positioning, navigation, photo tagging) based on GPS and/or WiFi/3G still work correctly?
​

For privacy reasons I only only use GPS location mode for my offline-stored Sygic and MAPS.ME maps. Map navigation works normally, I see no missing-LocationEM2 errors anywhere. I briefly interrupted the power drain test to make a GPS screenshot for you. Anyway, LocationEM2 service is extremely suspicious and always active with open internet connections. It may not be responsible for power drain but in

my setup

I just don't want it.

are you making tests with or without the original case cover, and have you maybe located which service should be deleted to get rid off s-window clock and multimedia controls showing behind the covered screen and preventing phone to go deep sleeping (hence draining the battery on standby with the original cover case)?
​

I use the original cover. My guess is that the "/system/app/Shly..." apps/services are responsible for all these power issues, so I deleted them all. Yes, some nice UM features are lost, but you don't get them in CM/LOS/AOSP anyway.

you have removed Gmail and mail - do you use another mail app (or you read mail over browser, or you don't use mail at all)?
​

Of course, I've always used "K-9 Mail" app, it is

open source

and extremely configurable, way better than Gmail/Email apps in my opinion.

Without mail, Maps, voice commands, scheduled power on/off, user dictionary - why do you need a smartphone
​

As mentioned above, I use alternative email and map apps. Voice commands and scheduled power on/off may contribute or actually be responsible for the power issues so for now they are off. As for user dictionary, I just don't use it and I was always annoyed seeing it starting up with the system and using CPU time on Osmonitor. I disabled or removed more apps than necessary, looking for a solution to power drain. If you can confirm my observations, then we could start to enable them and find out precisely what has to go.

BATTERY WORKAROUND

I bring us a way to make true on the claims that our problem is related to callibration as opposed to a bad and or cheap battery

Try this at your own risk . I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DEAD BATTERIES .

1.install android terminal

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm

2. Run terminal

3.Run as Su

Just type su and hit enter

4. Run the following command to get your battery information without quotation marks

" dumpsys battery "

(You will get an output of values as seen in the screenshot )

5. Now run

" dumpsys battery set level [* any value between 0 and 100 you think your real battery level should be ]"

* as can be seen in the screenshots this will change your battey level %

* this is spoofing your battery level to system via shell so you need to reset this

* this wont give you a charge if your battery is empty but this will make your phone stay on if you have juice in your battery but your phone thinks you have none ...so then you make it think it has some more ...so it stays on until your real juice runs out

Oh remember

"dumpsys battery reset"

Here are screenshots of my daily driver RR by Vladimirs77 on 4PDA. I don't get battery drop-off or at least not dead dropoff ...last 30% drains super fast ...very few bugs ..only bug ive noticed is screen brightness is broken . On max all the time but says adaptive in settings . THAT'S ALL !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bkc2:
There is also a MIUI ROM on 4PDA, based on Android 6.0.1 with September security patches. It looks like it's cooked on the original kernel from Ulefone, so there shouldn't be any issues when it comes to battery (although android is reporting 4100mAh capacity). The ROM is fast, haven't got any issues with it so far. Don't know however about BT, GPS, not using it, since it is now my backup device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KevMetal:
i used the miui for a week or two ...i don't remember what the problem was but certain features didn't work for me ..i think otg was dead amongst others ..all in all it was okay until you suddenly needed to do something you couldn't .you could post bugs here . my battery ballooned out and pushed my screen out . i can't be bothered to replace the battery i bought a moto e4 instead. good luck :good:

by the way if you check carefully the miui is listed in the first post under roms ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bkc2:
I suppose you are referring to MIUI version 8? Since 26/09/17 there is a new version with MIUI 9. One bug is that default phone app is hanging all the time after installation. I've managed to get rid of that, but don't know how... Any way, this MIUI works great for me, but as mentioned, this not my daily driver anymore. Bought myself SM-A320 after one morning I woke up just to realise my micro sd is dead following a battery drop the previous night.

I'd love to be involved with the KILLER WinMo app too if possible. My strength is in UI/Graphics design, and I've recently released my VistaMobile theme to the masses. It's been downloaded a fair amount of times. Would be nice to create one "super-shell" without the need for Wisbar/FTouchFLO/S2U2/etc., but of course still having all of that functionality!

I know there's that "PointUI" app coming out, but I still think it could be better (it's in beta of course, so things may change)...

Hopefully 2008 will be the year that Windows Mobile puts the competition to sleep. Now we just need HTC to bring us the OMNI, or any dream hardware that goes above and beyond the Universal!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
This is what I was thinking of doing. We have most of these apps in development we just need to add them all together. I know some of these apps are in different coding programs. I am sure we can find away to do it? I am a UI/Graphics design also but the more help is welcome b/c then each of us have a app to design but of course we all need to agree on the design too. I hope everyone that i mention in the first post is down on doing this. Also getting help from other developers too. if i didn't mention you that doesn't mean i don't want you to help i just don't want to mention everyone.

Thanks,

P.S.

OK PointUI pretty much took my idea on what i wanted to do with the finger scrolling!!!:mad: Darn Darn Darn. Anyway if we all put all our heads together I think we can come up with something unique.
