Thanks. That does sound like a very neat alternative route. So the Fluence patch can be applied to any ROM? This sounds like a neat way to get the stability of the factory build (working camera, radios, etc) and tweaking a few things too.

One issue though: I have just unlocked and reset my VodafoneUK spec H850, rooted that and reloaded the apps.

The Fluence patch very specifically calls for a clean flash and unrooted device, so I'll have to reflash and start again (no major problem), but I don't have my stock firmware, only a TWRP backup after I unlocked the bootloader and a Titanium backup after rooted it.

Is there a recommended stock ROM download location? Google returns "lgg5root.com", but all unknown sites are blocked at my work, so I'll only get to check that tonight. I'd prefer to download it from a more mainstream location!

edit: The Fluence guide I saw previously (much older, v14), stated that it should be installed with a Fluence HD Kernel and Fluence HD ROM: https://appuals.com/best-guide-current-working-lg-g5-roms/ (somehow this site is allowed @ work :) ). Is that still recommended or can it really be used with ANY ROM? Which is the recommended (most stable and least buggy) base ROM to use?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] onestyle007:
Ignore the guide on Xda, this is a completely new patch,notice is not Fluence HD but UHD, and it's a patch so you can dirty flash it
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BahnStormer:
Thanks for clearing that up - I clearly need another coffee!

One last backup and then it is time to get dirty....
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abort Retry Fail?:
If you're still looking for VodaphoneUK firmware for your H850, just check this link: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h850-firmwares/ I count 5 VDF KDZ files there.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BahnStormer:
Thanks ARF - I'll grab those as a fall-back option!

That said, I might be going back to one of those stock ROMs and manually debloating with Titatnium Backup as I tried the Fluence UHD patch and Aroma OpenGapps, but now my LG camera software won't allow auto mode on the main camera (8MP rear panoramic and front seemokay though)... but every time I select the auto-focus, it crashes the camera app :(

EDIT: I deleted cache and data in the Camera app and it's working on autofocus again now (and it'll save SD save location, etc). Now I can't see the manual focus/ISO options at all any more, but that'll do for now.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulienPr:
Hi everyone,

As mentionned in the title I'm afraid I bricked my Shield TV (model 2015, 16GB).

It was previously running StockRestyle 3.0 Marshmallow (from zulu99: https://xdaforums.com/shield-tv/development/rom-t3321787) and all was fine with it.

But since Nvidia announced Nougat for the Shield TV, I wanted to give it a try.

Thus, I tried to flash the official recovery images from Nvidia, but I think I made the mistake to flash the Nougat version instead of the Marshmallow one.

So, here is what I've done:

- I copied the official Nougat recovery images on my PC in my adb folder

- I ran the flash-all.bat

- it started all right, but was then stuck for several minutes

- the shield TV rebooted itself but was stuck on the Nvidia logo

- after several minutes without change nor messages on the command, I quit the command terminal.

Later, I tried to start the process again without success.

Now, I can have access to the bootloader using the hardware procedure (long-press on the power button).

Unfortunately, it says on the top "Production mode: fused" (see the attached pictures).

From the bootloader, I tried "Forced recovery" -> I got a black screen -> Fail

I also tried the "Boot recovery kernel" -> I got the screen image with the android robot down with an warning symbol (see the attached pictures)

I tried adb and fastboot without success.

When I reboot the bootlaoder, with the shield connected to my PC with an OTG cable, the shield is detected but there is a warning message on my PC (it's not well recognized).

Also, "fastboot devices" returns nothing.

Technically, the shield is l still under warranty since it's less than 2 years old, but I'm afraid this "Production mode: fused" message would void it!

Any similar situation or suggestion?

Thank you in advance and have a nice day.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavero.burgos:
Hi, that production mode: fused is normal. I checked and I have it. I think it is there since I unlocked the bootloader. I run Full Android Nougat from [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] without issues.

Do not keep trying to flash things just to flash. While you be able to boot into bootloader you can recover it (remember this) but is also true that if you mess with the bootloader you can brick your device. You're just soft bricked not hard bricked.

First, post the complete version of the bootloader, in the screenshot I can't see the whole version.

For later (do not attempt to flash anything until we go thru some checks):

Try with another known working USB cable and/or reinstalling fastboot drivers. And do not use flashall.bat, you will do it command by command.

That's what happens when you don't follow directions
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulienPr:
Here is a picture with the complete version of the bootloader.

I followed quite well the instructions a year ago when I was trying to evaluate the pros and cons of Stock ROM, Stock Restyle and Full Android. Unfortunately [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] posts have been closed since then.

Thus I forgot I had to revert back to standard Marshmallow first ;-(
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulienPr:
I also tried two others USB OTG cables.

With on of them I managed to get "fastboot devices" recognizing a device, and I don't have this warning message on my PC (it's not well recognized) when starting the bootloader.

What should I do next?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulienPr:
Problem solved!

Since I guess the issue was mainly due on the suddenly defective OTG cable (it worked in the beginning of my last try, since I managed to flash some parts), I started the procedure again with with the official recovery 5.0.2.

- I started the bootloader using the HW method: long-press on the power button during powering up, until the bootloader appears

- Then,

* fastboot -w

- Then, again, I had to start the bootloader using th HW method

- Then, I followed most of the points described in the flash-all.bat files (except the adb commands)

* fastboot flash staging blob

* fastboot flash boot boot.img

* fastboot reboot

- Again, I had to start the bootloader using th HW method

- Then,

* fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

* fastboot flash system system.img

* fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

* fastboot reboot

- and voilà: I got Nougat running. Then the time it took me to enter my email credentials and so on, the OTA update to 5.1 was downloaded and ready to install.

A few minutes and a reboot later, I have the latest version running.

Thanks guys.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavero.burgos:
Your issue was the USB cable, if there is no good connection the flash can be incomplete thus corrupted. It is better to run the commands manually one by one so you know if it was successful on each flash or identify where it got stuck. Your lucky it didn't fail while flashing blob.

Probably failed after the boot flashing and fastboot reboot.

I suggest you get another USB cable, always use high quality cables. The internet is flooded with Shield TV users with TWRP, flashing issues and bricked devices because of a bad USB cable.

hi

as we all come to know one of the oneplus 3 greatest faults is the sound quality from the internal microphones, so i was wondering is it possible to have a external microphone plugged in to try and correct the issue. ive seen the ones that plug in to the 3.5mm jack and the usb ones.

has anyone had success with either of these types of microphones

thanks
[OnePlus 3 Accessories] shocker619:
I have used an external mic with my oneplus 3 when recording video. I have a Rode Videomic Go that is plugged into a Y splitter that has a microphone and headphone jack. Rode also sells a converter. The only caveat is that you need to use a 3rd party video app (I use Open Camera) that can set the audio source to external.
[OnePlus 3 Accessories] back_ache:
Are you using the y-splitter because you want to monitor with headphones and/or because the the Rode doesn't come with the right cable to plug into a phone?

HTC 10 updated to Android 7.0, not rooted

Yesterday my screen suddenly turned greenish/greyish: most red colors had disappeared. I rebooted several times, went into bootloader (where the upper lines were in deep red which means that this was probably not a hardware issue but it was my first time to look at the bootloader screen and I was not sure of the exact colors) before returning to Android but to no effect.

Changing the Color Profile did not help either.

I then began to fiddle with the developer's options: I did not actually change anything but the screen went back to normal. Scary.

Is there a tweak or a registry setting that can be used to keep that program list updated and show every program installed.

If not, how can I uninstall a program completely ?

there should be shown every programm you installed, if you installed it with a cab or over active-sync

[Xposed General] izephyr:
Xposed has become an iconic platform for customizing Android OS starting from vanilla to OEM customized versions. [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION] has been actively contributing the community. I have discussed my idea in the past but I was left out. For modders but who doesn't have much programming knowledge, Xposed is heaven. So, it should be there as long as there is Android.

It's beyond any gracious comment that Rovo89 deserves. Xposed has changed how we (at least me) look at Android. So, to keep it continuous, we need some enterprise effort. I don't mind if there is a company named Rovo89 and I have to buy a pro version of Xposed that promises to update with future Android versions in a professional way. Like more developers can work on this.

I Rovo89's efforts to in the app is awesome already. I don't know what he is planning for the future Xposed versions but I believe it is an undeniable addition to android and living in android without it will not be the same.
[Xposed General] Pupet_Master:
No business will want to be associate with "Android Hacking" that google is working hard to put a stop. Even if it's a positive one as Xposed.

The source code is there, but no one has a company to "take it over" nor will want to work on someone else idea instead of they're own.

In other words Xposed is Rovo and we should either sit tight and wait for his timing... or move on from Xposed (MM work great for me and i wont move on... but i know that he is only one man with job, life and family besides Xposed... so i accept it may take too long).

Google just is lame to release a new android every year just to change the code enough to make Xposed and other "hacks" harder to be in...

All in all what i want to say is... ppl love to give ideas but they don't understand how things work...

Sit tight... wait... or move on..
[Xposed General] Didgeridoohan:
They keep working on making Android more secure. What's strange (or "lame") about that? And face it... Xposed, root access and other "hacks" are security issues.

Have admin rights isn't a security issue. I never use a system without it (even windows has it). If the user don't know how to use admin rights with safety.. just don't use it.. Use the limited user account..

Also, make security updates... great... but change the code just to do so and break the tools that we, experienced users depend is lame.

Android never come rooted, who root it know what they are doing and all the risks.

It isn't a security issue.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:
its a tough one!

XZP v/s Z5P , (too soon to compare) but what i have read and compare from atricles

XZP has 19mp / 13mp cameras where z5p has 23mp / 5mp

XZP dsds but standby second sim, meaning it has combo tray. you decide now you want sdcard OR second sim ???

Z5P comes with dedicated sdcard Slot

XZP -->Octa-core (4x2.45 GHz Kryo & 4x1.9 GHz Kryo) where Z5POcta-core (4x1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A57) so the second set of cores are faster by .1ghz in z5p and first set of cors are faster by 1ghz in XZP

XZP records videos on higher frame rates in HDR , Z5p recordes on regular frame rates

screen sizes are 5.5 for both

Xzp has 4gb ram (wow), z5p has 3gb

Xzp has 4g+ technology and four receptors to comminate with network better. Z5p is equiped with regular 4g technology

Z5p is heavy, its a task to hold this phablet phone! where xzp is relatively heaver than z5p :D

now the very strange thing!

z5p has relatively BIGGER batter 3430MAH

XZP is 3230mAH,,,, :D :D :D

i am thinking i should buy both :D as they say...

" THE best way to #enhance your #superPowers is to #JOIN another one! "
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] the_brad:
Are you sure about this? I never had a DSDS model, but would guess, it's the same for Z5P.

Not to forget: XZP has Bluetooth 5.0 as well as USB-C with USB 3.1 AND UFS-memory (internal)!

A newer bluetooth-chip can't do harm and USB-C is nice for it's reversible plug. UFS should give us some advantage in combination with USB 3.1 regarding transfer rates.

I, for my part, am definitely switching, when it'll be available.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] YasuHamed:

[Xperia Z5 Premium General] exvargos:
Also XZP has Snapdragon 835 vs the Z5P 810, significantly better processor overall and should be significantly cooler/power friendly.

XZP screen is also 10-bit HDR, and I love the new design look.

My biggest with that probably won't happen is if Sony gets it certified by T-Mobile for VoLTE and maybe even VoWifi in the US, and fixes the bug in Xperia Roms where Google messenger can't send group MMS. Probably not happening though, but I'm definitely upgrading to it once my Z5P dies (already on the way there, I only have estimated 2900mAH left as max battery charge).

The main point here is this:

Will 4K content be fully supported ????

In Z5P 4K is only supported in very specific Sony apps, not supported for example in Youtube.

I'm afraid that this will not change with XZP, again only specific apps will be supported.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] the_brad:
Part of my fears, too. What gives me hope is the fact, that sony announced that amazon prime video will take advantage of the 4k and HDR! I don't think (and hope!), they won't make an extra app for sony. IIRC, netflix CEO gave some hints, pointing out something similar, too...
