[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] jerichoi224:
Thanks. Tried this, but didn't really help much. It still drains like 20% overnight, and this seriously doesn't make any sense.

Well, I can't upload images on XDA Yet, so I can't show, but

Based on the consumption level screen

HArdware (72%)

with Cell Standby (39.1%) of it.

I also installed cpu spy and checked, my phone was always on deep sleep
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Usama707:
If u have standby drain in nougat then Set Transition Animation to 0.5x and Turn Off Auto Brightness when in standby. Try this it might work.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] yebbey2:
I did the rollback with the Huawei instructions. I'm much happier with the battery life. I miss the notification shade from nougat but it is not worth the battery change. The battery life is heroic on mm

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

And I had nougat for weeks before going back to mm
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] biogon:
Same.... I lost 40-50% battery life from MM to N.... from 6.5h SOT to less than 3hr.

Weird thing is, I did a rollback and factory reset with fresh upgrade to B360 and I got about 80-90% battery life of MM for 4 days. Then suddenly out of the blue it went back to 3hr for two days.

Rolled back to MM and haven't looked back.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bluestudy:
Just wondering if anyone has looked into this, and what it could possibly mean for our device if we could be merged. Apparently there's no need for special kernel modules, bootloader edits, or KEXEC, and I think it would be pretty cool to be able to use multi ROM to boot back and forth between stock and AOSP.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] lafester:
Why don't you explain what this is and provide a few links?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bluestudy:
https://www.xda-developers.com/efidroid-is-a-second-stage-bootloader/

This article was the first I'd heard of it. But it does seem like it might be something easy to implement. It's basically multi ROM, but without all the requirements.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] lafester:
Looks interesting.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] gecko702:
is it possible to dualboot into that one OS called sailfish or something? even ubuntu mobile?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jimbo77:
This is to make the phone able to boot two different working roms. Say, you will be able to boot stock or RR without changing roms in TWRP. It won't boot roms that haven't been ported to our phone...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Controllerboy:
This is very, very interesting. I love the thought of just using LineageOS or RR for everyday things and then just switching to stock when I want to use media and enjoy the fantastic sound.

I'm not a developer, but I'd like to help/contribute in any way possible if someone's working on bringing unofficial support to the Axon 7.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TeutonJon78:
Very true. However, it makes ROMs easier to port and for more people to test, as then people can try them out without wiping their phone each time they want to try.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] twoi:
I was able to port and build right up until the last step where you generate lk.img and fastboot it to the phone. I'm running Linux inside a virtual machine and it doesn't seem to want to communicate, though adb does work.

I might try on the weekend to boot linux off a hard drive and see if it will work..

In the mean time, if someone else wants to try to build, it's really simple just follow these two guides:

https://github.com/efidroid/projectmanagement/wiki/[EFIDroid]-Getting-Started

https://github.com/efidroid/projectmanagement/wiki/[EFIDroid]-Porting-a-new-device
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] twoi:
I tried again, but when I fastboot the generated lk.img to the phone, it just turns off instead of loading the splash screen.

I used the TWRP recovery .img for the create_device step. Maybe that's unacceptable, though it built the lk.img without error.

Anyone else trying this?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jimbo77:
Did you try this fix for arm64 devices?

https://github.com/efidroid/projectmanagement/issues/89

Seems you need to dump aboot to check what's the correct address for LK to boot.

Edit: also did you try using freeza Beastmode boot.img? Probably that's better
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] twoi:
Thanks for the reply.

I dumped aboot and replaced the address but sadly it just makes the phone reboot, I used the beastmode boot.img at the same time.

I'm a bit in over my head at this point hah, but someone in that thread had the same results..
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jimbo77:
Yeah that's he creator of Efidroid... Why don't you reply to that issue tracker and add the Axon 7 to the list of devices that don't boot because of the arm64 arch :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Druboo666:
yes you are on right track
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Druboo666:
have you replied or keep track of this

https://github.com/efidroid/projectmanagement/issues/89

the dev was asking for something
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] twoi:
I'll try the suggestion of using lk_origdtb.img. I'll have to ask about his instructions to rebuild lk.img, I'm not sure how to repack it.

This might get me close http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

But this is lower level than I'm used to, I'm not sure which file(s) constitutes the ramdisk.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Druboo666:
you should contact with the dev he may help you OP3 and A7 got same chipset so yeah it will help
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] twoi:
I tried lk_origdtb.img and the repacked lk.img (Image.gz-dtb) but got the same results, device reboot.

I would love someone else to try this. If you have linux and coding experience at all I think you could manage building it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Druboo666:
you can contact [MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION] or [MENTION=313770]m1cha[/MENTION] with your compiled LK or boot maybe they can help

Hello experts,

Pointing to the title, it is very clear that I am trying to install preloader to LG K120E model MT6735 without success. I was using SP flash tool to auto format the whole flash(bootloader included) and now the phone is dead, not even recognized by pc. downloaded prerooted ROM from here https://xdaforums.com/android/general/rom-lg-k4-k120e-prerooted-stock-rom-t3545353 and tried to install the preloader, but it fails with BROM ERROR message 5054.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebergama:
Hi everyone, my loved nexus 6p suddenly rebooted and after that it never started again, it´s on a bootloop and I can only see the "Google" splash screen.

I tried to enter into the recovery mode without success, I can enter into bootloader but there´s not too much to do there.

- fastboot detects my device but adb doesnt´t

- Debug mode was disabled on my nexus (I guess, don´t remember actually)

- When I tried to unlock my cellphone via "fastboot flashing unlock" I get:

"FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)"

So I cannot flash it with a different image.

Any thoughts of what can I do? I´m out of ideas.

Thank you so much

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Locked BL you are limited to side loading NEWER OTA's higher than the level you are on. The March Security update has recently been posted on Google. If that fails you could try a TWRP flashable OTA.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebergama:
Thank tou for your reply, as far as understood to side load a newer OTA I've to do it via adb, the thing is I get an empty list when I run:

"adb devices"

am I missing something?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
You can't flash anything via fastboot. You didn't check "Allow OEM Unlock" in developer settings, so fastboot is out. If you didn't enable ADB then you're hit. Try a warranty claim or just contact Google. Some people here & on Reddit have got them replaced when they brick due to stock OTAs even when out of warranty. Can't hurt to ask.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebergama:
Yeah I imagine that, I'll contact customer support to see if they've a solution since my device has been out of warranty just for one month, thank you for your quick response.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Sorry, but I may have mis-read your post. I thought you had TWRP installed. So while the phone is in recovery mode>>adb sideload- your PC cannot see your device? I don't know your skill level but are you sure you have the current version of adb/fastboot properly installed? Do you have another phone to test your ADB setup with? Lots of ppl have issues getting the correct drivers and binaries installed and working. Just a thought.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebergama:
Hi, I'm a software Engineer so I tested everything that you just said :)

I've the latest version of adb downloaded from the official android nexus 6p website, so I guess I've no other option rather than contact Huawei, the thing is the customer support they provide totally sucks!

I've been sending ton of emails and I didn't get a response, I've to call them but that's a different topic.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
It is supposedly a server side change. In theory the parts needed have been out in the field for a bit. Just have to wait until Goog decides it is your turn to have it turned on your account. To this day, how they decide who gets what when is a complete mystery. (I've been an Android user since the T-Mo G1 came out and have never been day one or week one of anything, even being on beta channels for various products.)

For me at home screen, Google now pops up, but when I long press it again, assistant pops up. Only time assistant works is if I'm in an app or browsing. Weird

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] CHH2:

It's a server side change. The version of the Google app needed went out weeks ago.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] evo4g63t:
Assuming cortana runs on android and creates a long press assistant shortcut...

You can change the long press assistant shortcut by going to settings - apps - pull the menu in the upper right corner - go to configure apps - press assist and voice assist - assist app - change to cortana and from here you can long press your home button to launch cortana instead of google.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] TheBee:
hello,

i have used several wm6 roms on my mda of which some can only check for new e-mail no less then every 15 minutes. the the field to set this is a drop-down box. however, several others have some sort of modification that allows you to **enter** a value for how often mail will be polled for which is fantastic.

the most stable rom i have found to date is the vanilla that the xda is built from but i can specify a poll frequency of no less then every 15 minutes (drop down).

how do I adjust os to allow me to specify poll frequency like many other roms have? i have searched and haven't found a resolution, but something has to be out there be different cooked roms have a entry box rather than a drop-down list.

thanks

Hey guys I'm planning to create a ROM for our redmi note 3 if you want to contribute just pm me
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] efaden:
Alright... so this is a long story, but I needed some input to see if anyone has some suggestions. The whole story starts in November around Thanksgiving. I ordered a Pixel XL through Verizon. Sometime Mid-January I actually received the thing and it seemed to be going great. Until the battery stopped charging reliably and randomly just dropping 15% or so in about a minute. I called Verizon and they would replace the device, but had no idea when I could expect a new one. I then called Google. Google said since I got the device from Verizon they would only offer a "Standard Exchange" and not an Advanced. They "claimed" it was something about not having some random information, despite me offering to provide any information or even pay for the device until the got it back. They still refused, but since they had the devices in stock I sent my phone away to be replaced.

Fast forward about 4 and a half weeks (including MANY emails and phone calls) I finally got my device. During those 4 weeks I got numerous stories from Google about how my replacement was sent and then returned to them (but they didn't have tracking information), was sent and to be received the next day (this time they sent me tracking information for the return and not any replacement), and the stories go on... It would have been funny if it wasn't so depressing how disorganized and inept they seemed to be.

I swapped my sim card and my phone worked for about 5 days until today. It stopped working and said I needed to activate it. I called Verizon and they said the device couldn't be activated because it didn't exist in their system. This is RMA device from Google was marked as a Verizon device and had a Verizon Sim in it when I received it from Google.

The Verizon rep called Google. The Google 1st tier was clueless, and got a 2nd tier. He was also clueless. He kept saying that the devices were unlocked. He was surprised it even had a sim card in it when I got it. He then transferred me to a 3rd tier who said we should replace the device, but again because I didn't buy it from Google they would only offer a standard replacement (yes.. the same replacement that took 4 weeks before).

He offered to "escalate it", whatever that means. Verizon can't replace the phone because they have no record of this device... Google will only replace it in about 4 weeks... and I have a device I can't use....

Honestly I'm not even sure what to do. The Verizon lady told me that Google is supposed to register the phones with them but they didn't. Even Google admitted that this was their problem, but still will only offer a standard replacement.

Anyone had an experience like this? Anything I can do?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] FUZER384:

Interesting.... I'll touch base with Verizon. I'm going to try to go that route. My "standard replacement" was slow as hell.. How long did yours take?.... Mine took 4 weeks.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] FUZER384:
About a week. Once the tracking information started reporting they sent replacement
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] efaden:
Yeah. I printed the smart post label on a Sunday and posted that Monday. It took 3.5 weeks for them to receive and process my phone. Then 3 days to ship and 3 days in transit. So a little over 4 weeks to actually get my phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] FUZER384:
Yeah they never waited until mine got there. Actually my replacement got to me before my phone got to them. Not sure if me having a Google Financing account had anything to do with it.
