[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] s_wheel:
It's not for MIUI ROMs. Root is necessary.

Dear Friends,

In the memory of Mi Max is present partition "cust". In this partition are stored apk's and other information for UI of MIUI. After transition to any custom ROM's (

not MIUI based

) this part of memory is not used by the OS. Partition "cust" has 512 MB from factory, the file system is ext4 and it could be mounted for use together with other memory of Mi Max for storage any information. Yes, the 500MB (I use only this size of "cust") is a low volume of memory but in this partition we can storage any confidential data, zip files for OS modernizations and etc. This partition cannot be wiped in the process of clear flashing of ROM and by other manipulations in the recovery mode. I didn't saw any limitation for use this partition in the process of my experiments.

In the recovery mode the "cust" is available for read and write after it mounting (option "Mount" in the recovery UI).

In the OS mode the partition "cust" could be available after execution of two commands in the Terminal for Android with root:

mkdir /CUST

mount -o rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p63 /CUST

First command is the creating the mount point (/CUST) for the partition "cust" (the block mmcblk0p63 is the physical place of "cust" in the ROM).

Second command is the mounting of the memory block mmcblk0p63 ("cust") to the folder CUST created in my case in the root directory.

The mount point could be changed as you like.

You can use also the executable shell-script for using the "cust".

After the OS reboot the block mmcblk0p63 will be unmounted and the partition "cust" will be unavailable for OS.

Hello,

I've purchased this one: http://www.dx.com/p/x96-tv-box-andr...-2gb-ram-16gb-rom-us-plug-449347#.WPuxONryuUk

Just wondering what ROMs and recoveries work. I've searched a bunch and found some dead links and conflicting information so I'm hesitant to flash it especially where I do not have a stock image to go back to if it renders it bricked.

If anyone can help out, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Scott

Another question about the box: is-it possible to have Android TV instead of a modded android marshmallow? Because the interface would be a lot easier to use.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Downunder35m:
Android TV is a complete different story and you can't really compare the two like this.

Android TV uses the Leanback launcher if I am not mistaken.

Already tried to include it into a testrom but so far no real luck as it uses a lot more binaries that are not included in the standard system.

Will have to create some symlinks, add binaries and do a lot of testing - not to mention finding all the included apps for android TV and figuring out how to make them work.

If the interface is your only trouble check some nice launchers first, like Apex for example.

Once I have something cooked up that actually works as expected you will find it in this section somewhere :)

As long as you get into the TWRP recovery on the SD card all should be fine - assuming the box is a X96.

If that fails only the burn tool or burn card maker can help with a genuine firmware to get going again.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] JonnoSmith:
Have an X96 Amlogic S905X Quad Core 2G/16G Android 6.0 Wifi HD 4K TV Box.

I flashed the FULLY UNBRANDED Kodi 17, everything looked fine but the box's red light just stays on after the reboot.

Does not go into TWRP at all or nothing on screen.

It now a paperweight?

Downloaded the Stock firmware (Android 6.0.1 X96 Amlogic S905x 20161122) and am trying to start box with a bootable SD-card.

BurnCardMaker asks for an IMG file with all the relevant (aml_autoscript, factory_update_param.aml, firmware.zip, recovery.img, u-boot.bin, etc) files in but i cannot find this IMG file.

Without these BurnCardMaker does not work at all or nothing happens on TV box at least.

Must also say, i use a 64gig SD card but it worked for the initial flash.

Am i wasting my time with this box now?

Thanks for help.
[Xposed General] farrenicus:
I have a Note 3 which I'm looking to make into my backup phone/dedicated GPS. It's currently on 4.4.2 and I would like to believe that, in the intervening major versions, many of the missing (obvious) OS features which made Xposed so necessary are now available as stock system options. Being familiar with the awful, pervasive anti-customization/pro-simplicity/for-dummies mobile development philosophy that now threatens even PC software, I'm afraid I'm probably wrong.

Ideally, of course, I'd want Xposed on my yet-to-be-determined 7.x phone, but if that isn't going to happen, I'd like to know if there are built-in options now to partially replace great Xposed modules like:

NotifyClean - In Android N, can I set rules to totally block specific notifications?

NeverSleep - Set certain applications to disable sleep mode when active?

Wanam Xposed - Theming options (assuming I go with a Samsung phone)?

Xposed LED Control - Different LED colors per notification type?

DoubleTapToSleep - Sleep without using a hard button?

BootManager

Network Speed Indicator

If someone familiar with Android N could comment on the list above, I'd be very grateful. I'd rather buy a 'new' older phone than get an S8 or similar and find (assuming there's even a root exploit) that my phone is crippled versus my nearly 4 years old Note 3.
[Xposed General] Curiousn00b:
Notifiyclean can be substituted by power notification controls, which I don't know if it comes with stock rom, but I know it's there for the rom I'm using.

Neversleep can be substituted by the caffeine toggle, if your rom has it. I believe you can also find it on the play store to use if it's not built-in.

Wanam Xposed, I haven't used in ages. Can't even remember what it does...

LED Control should be built-in, if not custom roms.

DoubleTapToSleep should be your kernel.

Bootmanager, I'm unsure... Maybe alternatives with root?

Network Speed Indicator can be done with apps or built-in from custom roms.

[Xposed General] thktanuki:
Is there an alternative to App Settings module, to allow for per-app dpi settings without Xposed, because android n?
[Xposed General] Portgas D. Ace:
My first idea was Tasker, but I am not sure if you can modify the dpi value with Tasker itself. I guess with the help of an appropriate plugin, you should be able to set the dpi on a per-app base.

Can someone comment on whether visual voicemail works outside of the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app IF I DISABLE the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app (using package disabler)?

I noticed the Samsung phone app has visual voicemail, is it going to work if I disable the Tmo app?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] .psd:
I figured it out after about an hour of testing.

The stock Samsung phone app's Visual Voicemail works fine, so it's perfectly safe to delete Tmo's voicemail app. BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT you have to first open Tmo's app, allow everything, and get it all set up (e.g. get past everything so that you're able to listen to an actual voicemail). Probably load one voicemail just to be safe. Then it's OK to delete the app and just rely on the Visual Voicemail and notification functionality of Samsung's stock phone app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] .psd:
Turns out that's wrong and it's still a cluster****. It worked, but if you restart the phone it's broken again. If anyone figures it out please leave a reply as this thread will likely be viewed by people over the next year or so.

The Samsung ROM has visual voicemail built in, and it's specifically Tmo's visual voicemail functionality on this Tmo variant model. So it should do visual voicemail fine without the branded T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app which is so non-necessary that it even lets you uninstall it.

Headphones!!! Samsung have for some reason they have placed a VER POOR set of headphones from AKG.

I was excited to put them in when I got home but that excitement didn't last. The sound is tinny with no real deep sound to it. Even 2016 S6 Edge headphones were much better.

WHY o WHY o WHY can't someone in testing/development really sit and listen to audio before approving them?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] TroubleMKR000:
Can you explain what "need to burn for 100-150 hours" ?

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] nosympathy:
headphones just like any speaker have a break in period. Most people fail to realize this and judge a speaker immediately for sound. Best thing I've found to do if you want to break them in quickly is anytime you are not using the headphones, plug them into an ipod, computer, etc. and play a bunch of music on repeat so it hits highs and lows and leave them playing. Easy to get 12-15 hours a day of constant use if you don't use them much, or if you use them even more. Leave them run all night in another room, etc.

Edit: These headphones remind me a lot of the Shure studio style headphones. They have a very neutral sound that needs an EQ adjustment to bring it to your tastes (referred to as colorless sound.) I might feel different after break in but this is what they remind me of for now.

Most people are used to stuff like beats, Bose, etc. that heavily color the sound in their own way. Sometimes to the point an EQ can't fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] antawnm26:

I Think the headphones are great. Not sure start you are listening to but you might need to mess with your eq or get your hearing checked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] coldconfession13:
Supposedly they are not AKG headphone but Samsung headphones tuned by AKG.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] HNIC215:
Can't really complain about something we received for free -> especially when that "something" is much better than what we are used to receiving with a new phone.

Headphones, like many things, are user specific - we ALL won't like the same type of headphones since there are so many other criteria that goes into what makes a pleasurable listening experience for the average user -> genre of music, ear type, source quality etc...

If sound is that important to you, invest in a nice pair of headphones -> you won't regret it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] natefish:
I was immediately impressed. OP, do you know what depth is? That was the first thing I noticed and I'm only a beginner audiophile at best. Actually more depth and range than my BT Beats. Heard sounds in songs I hadn't heard before, maybe even the whinny of a unicorn.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] zone23:
So when you buy a phone all you really care about are the headphones? So your paying 800+$ for headphones? Why don't you just save yourself some money and BUY some good headphones? Now that said I tried them and you are correct they don't have a ton of bass but I thought the clarity and sound was VERY good. If I want the bass I will through on some Beats. Also after I changed the size of the ear plug things so they were tighter the bass was a little better.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] calinormy:
I was not expecting too much from bundled iem's. I have momentum iem's, Momentum over ear, Sennheiser hd598 and Bose qc935. I just wrote my experience with them.

Excepting Bose, the sennheiser is known for flat responses, not for extra bass. MAYBE changing the size could bring back some bass I will try later

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Ryland Johnson:
Oh hell. Ever read a thread and wanted to participate but dare not? No idea where to start.

The Galaxy S8+ is capable of producing an extremely pleasing decent sound stage.

I have spent four days working on the subject of these ear buds.

Used the boxed AKG developed earbuds in numerous other set ups, some with external DACS some high res players costing 1K€

I have used the ear buds with other mobile phones.

Tested said ear buds along side with other ear buds etc.

Used a vast genre of music from classical to pop to Goodness knows what including specific test lossless recordings.

I ran the ear buds in for 24 hours. That is all any ear bud should need.

Erm.....Though I have read so many positive comments on the AKG developed ear buds I agree with the OP!! There I dared write it Agggaaa.

No way are they manufactured by AKG. They have been developed with the Samsung galaxy S8 in mind though meaning if you find them poor on the S8 on ANY of the other dozen devices I tested them on the sound stage is even less pleasing.

NOTE. It is vital to express the fact that we all have different tastes in music production, sound stage. What one listener enjoys another will not and V a V. That's a given.

I own and have owned since 1969 numerous hi-fi set ups some costing .....silly money, lets stop at that. I love music and enjoy listening to music on a mobile phone as well as a dedicated high res player such as the Astell&Kern, Pioneer, Sony and Onkyo. I have tested the ear buds using all these devices along side other head phones (just to set a base standard) then other earbuds. Used with external DACS with amplification and without added amplification.

My conclusion is they are not to MY liking, not only that but today I had four guest audiophiles also have a listen just to check I had not lost the plot. TWO of them owned the S8+ and only one other person had a mildly positive word to say about these earbuds.

No matter how I try. I am unable to reach a sound stage that equals some ear buds costing a quarter of the 'supposed' 99$. I wanted to like them. I am, in general a fan of AKG phones. Not on this one occasion though.

Now, if you enjoy their sound stage and get the goose bumps and they ring your bell you MUST stay with them. One tiny request though if I dare? Try another pair of 99$ ear buds from say Bose, Sennheiser, AKG, Sony, Denon. NOT 3k$ Stax, just general 'run of the mill' ear buds and you may (or may not?) be very surprised at how accomplished the S8+ is at producing a very pleasing sound stage.

BTW if you need to use any form of EQ then that's a problem to start with (another thread, even book). Try some lossless high res clips or test clips from youtube and compare.

It has NOT been my intention in the least to upset or offend those who enjoy these earbuds. Zero confrontation here. I am very hesitant to press "Post". Oh well.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Ryland Johnson:
This is a classic example of why I didn't want to reply. Receiving an aggressive, patronising reply from some one who writes Stax headphones and A&K are "Bottom of the barrel" and to improve sound stage use an EQ?? Maybe best we just agree to disagree.
