15.32

Just going to drop a few observations in here about 15.32..

GPS started up just fine (faster? I don't use it very often) using the GPS Test->GoogleMaps & Live Search method. It found 8 satellites in under 45 seconds inside my house.

Call quality in the few calls I've had since I flashed the radio (@6:30pm CST) have been very acceptable, and if I had to qualify, it'd be equal with 12.17. My RSSI value is consistently 2-3 points higher in my area (Bham, on ATT) on Edge. I'll play with 3G tomorrow.

I'll also see if I can get some drain stats based on observation and via the BatteryStatus plugin (if I can remember...) tomorrow.

Hope this is useful to someone.

what about the gsm signal iss it good?

which radio do you advicee for good gsm signal
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] benme23:
I definately agree with you, however, the gps signal improvement is not very significant. I did a test with my friend's similiar TyTN II running Dutty's v4, with him using radio 12.32 and mine 15.32. We ran Mapking together and mine was just a split-second faster to respond. However, the HSDPA and 3G signal stays on more frequently then the previous radio. It stays at 3G connection at places where it usually swtiches to GSM. Its just IMO though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msg1285:
I've tested 12.17 and 15.32 for service strength I used the field test program and tested several locations.

15.32 with a doubt gives me better reception and I'll list some of the results.

the first numbers are the range I received in the location and the avg was well I think it explains itself

Location 1

12.17 ---11-14 avg 12 mostly EDGE 50% HSDPA 50%

15.32 ---13-16 avg 15 HSDPA 80%

Location 2

12.17 ---17-19 avg 19 100% HSDPA

15.32 ---19-22 avg 21 100% HSDPA

Location3

12.17 ---24-29 avg 25 20% EDGE 80% HDSPA *

15.32 ---26-30 avg 28 100% HSDPA

* This was strange because this was clearly the best service but 12.17 still went to EDGE.

This may may not completely prove my theory but I think it makes good since that the battery improvement in 12.17 is due to the fact that it spends more tome in EDGE.

GPS and camera improvements were very marginal with all 4 radios I have tested.

I think if we could find a way to some how tweak HSDPA battery usage then 15.32 could be the perfect radio.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] NuShrike:
Would be a better test if you tested the closest version 12.32, instead of 12.17, against 15.32.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msg1285:
I tested 12.17 because it seems to be really common and I wanted to test the EGDE vs HSDPA.

If I get some time I'll test 12.32 and maybe 2 or 3 others.

hey guys, i've just flashed my rom to Dutty's WM6.1 Official release and i cant use my gps. Then, I flashed the Radio to 27.12.32 then I've lost my audio.... need help. What should i do? I'm downloading Dutty's Dual Touch V4 now... wanna try that with my 12.32 radio. Any advice???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gladesmellzgood:
search

:D use the search feature bud the radio you have is imcompatible with wm 6.1, look up what radio's are compatible with wm 6.1 roms and then flash one of those or go into anyone of the 6.1 rom threads and it has the info there
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zamdar:
Guys, can somebody post a link for Dutty's V4?

Tried to download it from Dutty's Area 4 times and it says that the archive file is corrupted.

Help!

Hi everyone,

As all others, I'm also pretty bummed by the fact that Whatsapp on our S3 doesn't show all unread notifications but only the last one.

I used to own a Samsung Gear 2 (square smartwatch with Tizen OS version 2.2.1) which has the feature to show some kind of history of all received notifications (even when read).

This was a very handy feature and I really can't understand why Samsung didn't put this feature in new Tizen OS version.

Maybe some skilled dev can take a look and make this compatible with the S3 ?

But read the OP carefully, I'm not talking about only WhatsApp but about all apps which push notifications to the watch.

On the old Gear 2 ( not the S2 !) there is a special part of the OS which shows are read and unread notifications grouped by app

Hi,

the stock phone app on the unit is a true pain in the ass.

When I click on the contacts it just does nothing and when a call comes in, clicking on answer button also does nothing.

Has anybody a solution for this, alternative phone app or whatever?

Thanks

Thomas
[Android Head-Units] tleclaire:
Push... anybody?
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
I don't know but it would really help if you would share whether you are on a Rockchip Android 4.4 unit, or on an Intel Sofia 3GR unit, either on Android 5.1.1 or 6.0.1.

For the Rockchip 4.4 versions there are several alternatives.

Also: search here and on forum.carjoying.com. There are several posts about these problems, also with regard to the number of contacts.

And yes, the app is not the best available.
[Android Head-Units] tleclaire:
I'm on Intel Sofia and Android 6.0.1 and of course have searched the forums up and down to no avail.

I wish they would open source that **** so one could fix it.

Are there any alternatives available?
[Android Head-Units] 5p4rtan:
Same here,

too many contacts on phone download over bluetooth and a click on the phone of a contact does nothing.

I also can only dial numbers by hand, not out of the contact list. Really anoying...
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
The problem is really the number of contacts the Joying dialer can handle. Make sure you do not share your phone contacts as in bad cases the dialer can even corrupt your phone contact list.

I have all my contacts as Google contacts anyway. I block my phone so that the contacts of my phone are not shared to the dialer over bluetooth.

I do sync my Google contacts directly on the unit via my account.

That way the dialer can also use your contacts.

Note that many users (with more than 255 contacts) do it like this.
[Android Head-Units] 5p4rtan:
Thanks for that advise and your fast answer! :)

I was thinking about a too large amount of contacts as well...

Do you use a special contacts app to sync the contacts from google? I use google for my contacts as well. Is it possible to sync more than one google account. Sorry, but im not much in contact administration.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
I know some users are using True Contacts and are very happy with it. I have no experience with it.

Hi

I have just rooted a S6 Edge running Nougat and installed SuperSU. Can someone please explain to me why when I make changes to SuperSU settings it all gets reset if I change the sim or even restart the device?

Its driving me insane!!!

Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place.

Thanks
[SuperSU] tnorfolk159:
I just ran into the same problem with a Nexus 5x. Mine wouldn't even remember the settings after I closed the app. I went in to the settings and did the cleanup for reinstall and then​ installed again from the play store. It asked to install binaries, which was successful, and then it started remembering settings. Seems like an obvious thing to try first and maybe you already have but I hope it works out for you.

TWRP 3.1.1-0 Moto Z2 play (albus) ​

Latest TWRP changelog :

3.1.1-0 full changelog

Working/Bugs :

I have just basically tested and all seems to be working (including decryption of /data). If something is broken lemme know.

Please do read the installation guide note !

IMPORTANT NOTE :

At first boot twrp will ask for "Swipe to allow modifications for /system" and if you choose to allow it system partition will get modified. So if you choose to reboot back to OS without performing anything in twrp, the OS won't boot (as verity check is enabled in stock OS/kernel) . To avoid this you have to flash either SuperSU or flash any of the verity disabler zips there in xda

Force encryption is enabled by default in stock OS and twrp will successfully decrypt /data at first boot if all goes well

If in case decryption doesn't go fine, twrp will popup a dialog box asking for password and that means decryption went wrong and you would need to wipe data once via twrp wipe options and reboot back to twrp for functioning of /data

Installation Guide :

Make sure you have unlocked bootloader

Reboot to bootloader

fastboot flash recovery twrp-****.img (if you want permanent flash) or fastboot boot twrp-****.img (if you want temporary

boot)

Wrong thread mate. Such questions go to the General Q/A section and not a development thread.

Anyways, the conventional method for unlocking moto devices is for the retail versions only. If your device is on a contract / locked by your carrier (Verizon in this case) it might not be possible. Contact Verizon if the device can be unlocked or not. Cheers :)

How about flashing Dm-verity and Forced Encryption Disabler via TWRP?

I wrote detailed assumption on moto Z2 Help thread.

(Added on Jul/31)

Flasing Dm-verity and Forced Encryption Disabler is not best idea.

Flashing Magisk is better solution.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] romhippo.com:
Dear Santhosh, thanks for your work!

I believe there is bug when selecting storage for backups for example. TWRP 3.1.1-0 does not recognize "portable" micro sd storage correctly. MicroSD storage is only listed as 0MB and it is not possible to select the radio button. The micro sd card is not encrypted. I tried two cards, a fat32 32gb and an exFat 64gb. Both work on Android and Windows.

Here is what I tried

- fastboot boot twrp.img

- entered password (but also tried to just cancel)

- click backup

- click "select store"

result:

- internal storage (49123mb) [or 0mb when cancel password entry]

- micro sd card (0mb)

- USB OTG (0mb)

Any ideas how to solve this?

OK, I understand.

If feasible could you please let us know what you would have (tried to) fix exactly? Just in case another developer emerges :)
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] romhippo.com:
I just got an USB OTG adapter. I tested it on a Nexus first. I backup all partitions successfully with TWRP 3.0.2 just to make sure the OTG adapter works.

On the z2 play the OTG adapter is recognized. I can even backup the smaller partitions (EFS, logo, boot, and so on). But I am not able to backup the system partition. The backup process stops at 2% (70MB out of 3140MB). Pressing the cancel button freezes TWRP. Have to longpress the power button to reset the device.

---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 AM ----------

Another (minor) bug I noticed, when I boot into TWRP, I get the "enter password" screen but touches/clicks are not registered. I have to turn off and on the device first. Then I can swipe/touch/click again (and also the "swipe to unlock" appears).

Hello,

Does this work then? I saw many posts reporting issue, I just got my Z2, freshly unlocked and the last thing I want to do is to wait to have the stock ROM available somewhere to recover the recovery.img if it fails.

If you managed to get it work, could provide specific steps and versions please? This would be for a permanent flashing.

Thanks everybody!
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] thedoginthewok:
It works, but there are a couple of bugs.

I can confirm that the version of Magisk mentioned in this post works, as yunzo mentioned here.

After flashing recovery, the phone does not boot any more when you select write access to the system partition. You have to either flash dm-verity disabler or the Magisk Version mentioned above. Another thing you can do to get the latest Magisk version is use the updater-binary from the version that works and put in in the zip file of the current version. If you use another version then you'll get mount error on install. I've attached a zip file with the changed updater-binary.

I can also confirm the bug mentioned in this post. I could only flash files from internal storage, sd card access does not work. I had to restart recovery a couple of times for decryption to work though. Don't ask me why.

The bug where the recovery does not register any inputs unless you turn off the screen and turn it on again also occurs on my device.

If you don't want to have the "bootloader is unlocked and can't be trusted" message on power up, the logo.bin from this post works on the Z2 play.

Make sure to backup everything before messing with your phone.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] eexit:
Thank you so much for your very detailed answer! I don't mind losing my userdata since I'm still using my old Moto X for now but I'm curious about how to back the stock rom. Any idea?

I've read it's a bit an egg and chicken dilemma here since we need to root the device to backup the different volumes... If you have any input to backup my stock rom before flashing anything, that'd be very kind of you!

Thanks!
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] thedoginthewok:
As far as I know you can only backup after flashing or booting to recovery and enabling write access to the system partition. And this can only be done after unlocking the bootloader.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] eexit:
Ok. So, my device is already unlocked. I haven't flashed anything yet. What should be the process to create a backup from here?

Good work
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] romhippo.com:
Did you also test your backup? I was able to restore to stock (at least functionality wise) but I am not able to install the ota since it complains about checksums ... I guess the problem is that the "system image" restore does not work (only the file based "system" restore works). Backup files are not corrupted, I checked the md5 files.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] eexit:
Unfortunately, I did not. I really made the backup with the hope it would be recoverable really in case of a failure.

Now, I won't risk try it because if the backup is screwed, I am too haha!

I will eventually wait for the stock rom to be downloadable somewhere to try it so I could be sure to recover my rom if my backup fails.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] romhippo.com:
Ok. Since you only did a "system image" backup (but not "system") you might be screwed indeed ...
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Santhosh M:
Why would a official OTA work on twrp ? Its obvious that the official ota will be signed with another key and hence it would fail
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] romhippo.com:
I think you misunderstood what I meant. Possibly because I wasn't clear enough? So here in more detail what I did:

- installed TWRP (your version)

- created backups of all the items in the "backup list" (including "system" and "system image")

- rooted the phone successfully

Then I wanted to apply the OTA and obviously I had to revert to stock for that. So I restored the backups for boot, recovery, cache, and "system image". Unfortunately the device didn't boot after that. Then I flashed TWRP again, and restored the backup for boot, recovery, cache, and "system". After that the system could boot, but unfortunately the OTA failed. As you can see, I did not do the OTA in TWRP (since I restored the stock recovery).

TL;DR I was not able to revert to stock "byte for byte" with the backup created by this TWRP version, most likely because of an issue in the "system image" backup (despite verified md5)?
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Santhosh M:
And what happens with a normal /system backup instead of image backup
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] romhippo.com:
Yes, that works. But the OTA fails due to some check sum error.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nickolassss:
TWRP isn't working? (Not entirely sure, am noob.)

Alright, so I am trying to root my Z2. I followed the guides on how to unlock bootloader and everything. When I boot up Bootloader, it currently says that flashing is unlocked. I did the whole flash recovery thing however, I only managed to get TWRP to open as the recovery only once, other times it went straight to the android one. This is really confusing and frustrating as I am afraid I will just brick my phone. I also tried flashing Magisk that one time I managed to get it open to no avail as it just says failed to mount image or something. Can someone please write, or just link me to an articulate root guide for 7.1.1? Thank you.

edit: I also get this "error" message: (bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt

edit2: I tried to flashing SuperSU as well, I didn't see any error messages, but when I rebooted, there was no SuperSU app and I was not rooted.

edit3: It seems I can only get TWRP to load once (right after flashing), and afterwards, it reverts back to the normal one.

edit4: I am able to install TWRP (another version, HTC M7) without that error message on another device (M7).
