[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feenix0:
Does anyone know if there are manufacturers that are not determined to lock down their devices against user modification, i.e. who deliberately make their devices easy to root and flash for those of us inclined to do so?

[Some context: I just bought a Fire 7 (5th gen) that was unfortunately updated to 5.3.3.0, and definitely feeling frustrated about the lack of options, and willing to pay more for a device that has such options available. :mad:]

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Google Nexus and Google Pixel devices are not locked down, nor will they be in the future I believe. They want them customizable so that users participate in Android Open Source Project(AOSP) development. They encourage the community to tinker with their devices, they may come locked when you buy it but the unlock, rooting and flashing methods are pretty easy to do on all of them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
While true for the nexus this is not the case with the pixel. Google is closing off the OS for their devices and not pushing that code to aosp.

The only real dev friendly oem right now and I really hate to say this, is the One plus.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Well bugger, I didn't know that, what is Google thinking, that's gonna ruin the whole global participation in development.

I knew the One Plus devices were also developer friendly but I had the impression that Google devices were slightly more so.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yeah. The whole system ui is completely different. You have to remember Google hates what we do here. The only people they really want messing with the OS is the oem. Not so much people like us.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Duck Quan:
I believe there may be some connection between the red tint screen problem and poor battery life. I have recently got a replacement Galaxy S8 because I claimed warranty. My new S8 does not have the red tint problem and the battery life was amazing compared to my last S8. On my new S8 I get about 15 hours on my batter with about 5 hours SOT. On my Old S8 I'd be lucky to squeeze out 11 hours with 3 hours SOT, even with all bloat disabled and also a factory reset. This leads me to believe that the red tint problem affects battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Skander1998:
Nope.

All AMOLED screens have variance since the original Galaxy S.

Screen has no correlation to battery / battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
I had red tint and non-red tint phones about two weeks apart and configured identically. Battery life is the same for both. There's a thread running about chip binning and some phones seem to have terribly low bin number which, according to that thread, could greatly impact battery life.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/exynos-chip-binning-t3596434

It could also be as simple as some configuration setting or app setting being different between your two phones.

[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] villarleg:
Enable HSL its for devs only, i think lineage doesnt have it enabled in kernel, so you need to flash another kernel and change selinux to permissive

Can I turn this to permissive by kernel audiutor?
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mosimchah:
Flashing another kernel will change it to permissive (if it's a permissive kernel), and if it's an enforcing kernel it'll have the selinux patches so there's no need to change it to permissive yourself, just flashing the kernel is enough

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahalbert:
Hi all!

I've been researching this for the past few days. I recently dropped my Nexus 6P and it broke the LCD display. Google voice commands still work and I was able to unlock it with a USB OTG cable, so it appears that the only thing that's broken is the display. Of course, I didn't have USB debugging, Developer Mode, or it set up as an MTP device. I've only had the phone for a couple months so it's not a big deal but I would like to get my pictures back if at all possible. I know almost 0 things about android development, but am fairly tech savvy so I'm trying, here.

I have Android Development Studio with the Google USB Driver installed. Plugging the phone in via USB shows a "Nexus 6p" device with no files on it. I've gone through some tutorials but always get stuck at the "adb device" part.

I get the following from running commands:

C:\Android\Sdk\platform-tools>adb.exe devices
List of devices attached

C:\Android\Sdk\platform-tools>fastboot devices
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX fastboot

C:\Android\Sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem unlock
...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.031s

I think I am able to boot my device into recovery mode, but that hasn't helped as of yet.

Would appreciate any and all advice. Thanks for taking a look. Don't worry, I immediately set up my new phone in case I'm ever in this situation again. Take it from me... set it up now :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
OK so fastboot is for the bootloader and adb is for either recovery or the system itself.

You also won't type .exe after it either. Boot up your phone and unlock it then type "adb devices" into the command prompt. If that doesn't work (since you mentioned USB debugging is off) try from stock recovery. I'm honestly not 100% sure this will work TWRP is the 1st thing on my phone's. I don't mess with stock, but it's worth a shot. Reboot while holding volume up and it should bring you to stock recovery. Wait a few seconds and then hold the power button and quickly press and release volume up and then let go of both buttons. Do this plugged into a PC since when you enter the bootloader you get the little noise that plays. That way you know when it actually reboots and when to try the button combos. Now run "adb devices" again and it should show "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX recovery"

From there just try adb pull.

"adb pull /storage/emulated/0 c:/Users/YourUserNameHere/Downloads"

Obviously in the path above, you'd enter your own username and entirely change the path to wherever you want your data saved. The above pull command will take your entire internal storage, all files if it works.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahalbert:
Hey Roy,

Thanks for posting. Still no luck getting it to show up on the device list. Followed your instructions and got a connected noise for the boot screen, then unconnected noise and connected noise again when I held the power button and pushed the volume up button, then released. So I think I got it into recovery mode but still no dice. Any other ideas on things I could try?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
Sadly if you fully booted into stock recovery and adb still isn't working, I'm not sure there's a way to enable Android debugging at this point. Maybe someone else could chime in, but I think you'd need to get your screen replaced at a local repair shop.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] xstewminator:
Hi everyone, so some mistakes have been made today. While playing around with substratum theme engine on my mix running lineage-os 14.1, i had uninstalled one of the themes and then decided to uninstall the app entirely, however after uninstall it didnt reset the theme, so i rebooted. While attempting to reboot it got stuck in a boot loop. At this point I plugged my phone into my pc and booted into twrp so i could access my files and get them off, however when attempting to boot into twrp i could not use the touch screen which is preventing me from re-flashing my rom. and so after troubleshooting for an hour or soi had all my files off of my device, so i decided to format the system partition. so now i have no rom flashed and a twrp that i cannot use due to lack of touchscreen, its temporarily bricked i guess. So my questions are; A. can i use an otg cable and a mouse to control twrp? B. Is there some way to directly flash a rom from adb or from the connected pc. Then I should also state that I have tried older/newer versions of twrp to try to get the touchscreen working, to no avail (currently running 3.1.1-0 lithium). Ive read that it may be touchscreen drivers or something that are mis-matched from the rom. the onlyt issue is that there is no rom, also ive heard that the touchscreen is at a kernel level so i may need to flash a new kernel to get it working. TBH im not going to do anything else so that i dont completely brick my phone. Thank you all in advance for helping out!

Ok glad to read that it works.

Please keep in mind: the TWRP of MrRaines is an older one and is heavily modified.

ATM i'm trying to investigate what's the specific reason other TWRP versions are conflicting with touchscreen drivers on every new release of an stable or dev rom but MrRaines TWRP is still working ^^

The TWRP compatibility case has become even worse with the release of some Android 7.x / Nougat based ROMs - without an official kernel source release for Android 7 by Xiaomi (Android 6 kernel sources should have been released some weeks ago).

Could take a couple of days to find a reason and some more to find a solution...
