[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] andromeda9:
Hi,

I've been trying out different Artemis Touch versions.

I am wondering whether 'junk' files get left on my XDA Orbit when installing a new ROM.

(The usual 'step 1 (uspl cid unlocking) then step 2 (flash rom)'.

On my original XDA1 and 2 the reloading of Rom took much longer but seemed to completely erase the XDA.

On the XDA Orbut, loading the superb new Touch Roms, the reloading is very quick, but I do not think it erases everything.

Am I right, and is there any opinion / advice Forum members might give?

Thanks

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] StewD:
IMHO doing a reflash of the ROM erases totally the ROM back to "like new" it doesn't clear your memory card though.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Registerme:
If you flash a cooked ROM some "trash" can stay in your ROM but that's not bad. A ROM usually consists of several parts, the operating system, radio rom, extended ROM and some other things people usually don't talk about a lot here.

Having those old radio ROMs and other things on your device does usually no harm at all to your device. I change my "os-rom" every now and then, but that's it since my radio version is up to date. When you get an update by your operator it includes all ROM-parts and overwrites everything that was left.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] andromeda9:
Thanks Guys!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] almozaffar:
Zero Status

If you wish to ga back to zero limit, just flash "ship ROM" after you formatted the SD card, then flash the cooked ROM.

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] efaustus9:
In the last week I received my xperia x compact completely stock. First thing I do when I get a new phone before even activating it is root it. I was utilizing this guide to root my xperia x compact "Guide: Root + Custom Kernel + Clean rom + TA for X Compact" and I am stuck on the step where you are instructed to flash the modified XC-GenesisKernel-v1.04-nodrm kernel and SU. Flashing this kernel always results in a boot loop (Ive waited more then 30 minutes for it to resolve). I reflash the stock service exchange unit - 34.1.A.1.198 MM firmware to get back a functioning phone. The guide recommends:

"Run xperifirm and download the "service exchange unit - 34.1.A.1.198" firmware for posterity and latest rom for your region."

Am I supposed to use the most current nougat firmware for the following steps and only use the service exchange unit firmware if I need to downgrade to the lower original firmware? The thread for the XC-GenesisKernel states it is for nougat roms, which would explain a boot loop when I try to use the service exchange unit MM rom. Ideally Id like to stay on MM so that I can use xposed. Root and the phone being fully functional with no loss of camera and such is my main desire, xposed is secondary. I have a Backup TA of my DRM keys, the phone bootloader is unlocked, and I am looking for a little direction / clarification, any help in this respect is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Click the first link in the guide and read it.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] efaustus9:
Thanks, I read through it and I see indeed the latest nougat firmware is what I should use in the later steps of tuten1000's guide and is the source of the boot loop I am experiencing.

If possible I would like to stay on marshmallow so I can used xposed framework. Are you aware of or can you recommend a kernel I can flash that will give me root, fingerprint, and use of most DRM functions while still on marshmallow.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] itandy:
Maybe you can try my guide using Magisk with full DRM, Xposed and root. But you need to flash back to MM first if you need Xposed.

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] efaustus9:
Excellent itandy, this this just what I had in mind. I never downloaded and flashed a nougat rom as xposed was important to me. In following tuten1000's guide I did flash the XC genesis kernel as well as SU in recovery. This resulted in a boot loop but a prerequisite in your guide is a /system partition without any trace of su. Since I reflashed the stock service exchange unit 34.1.A.1.198 MM firmware I should be good to proceed right?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] itandy:
You're all good to begin with MM stock ROM.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] efaustus9:
It worked beautifully, thank you so much itandy :victory:

Anyway to get rid of the device is not secure screen on boot?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] itandy:
This is a common request but the answer is no. :(
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] efaustus9:
Okay, it would be nice to be rid of but it is a worthwhile trade off.

In your guide you mention a safety net, and installing xposed breaks it. What is this safety net and what is the draw back to breaking it? Am I locked out of certain apps or functions?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] itandy:
SafetyNet is the security checking API used by some apps like Android Pay and Pokemon Go to make sure your device is not tampered with. Simply put it makes sure your device is stock, not unlocked, rooted or modified. Magisk currently is able to bypass SafetyNet checking for root and some other "unwanted" apps. But Xposed will still be detected because it works in much lower system level. And with Magisk you can simply disable Xposed temporarily and reboot if you want to use, say, Android Pay.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] efaustus9:
ah very informative, thanks again.

I installed the xposed framework SDK23 in Magisk manager, it is showing up as installed under modules in magisk but xposed is not in the app drawer and I cant seem to access it.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] itandy:
You need to install Xposed Installer separately. Try this unofficial app.

Haha once again you come through. You are really helping me get this all sorted with so little fuss, I am very grateful.

This is my first xperia experience, I am coming from a samsung s3 running a KK slimrom and things are a bit different on this device. Any other pointers or recommendations for this new phone? Is there a way to make the soft key bar transparent so I can actually utilize the full 4.6"?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] itandy:
I remember there're mods (maybe Xposed modules) to make the navbar autohide. Maybe you'd also like to check out my navbar Xposed module. See my signature.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] efaustus9:
Great, I will definitely check out your app. Ideally Id like to mimic what I believe is called the "immersive mode" in supported apps. In this mode the app takes up the full screen and the icons are replaced with three persistent minimal dots.

Hey guys! I know this is going to be a strange request. I don't know of this is even in the right place but I traded in my LGV20 for the s8+ today and I actually dislike the notification sounds for this phone but LOVED the LGV20s sounds. Can anyone give me a list of the notification sounds so I can download them? Even a screenshot of them all would be very helpful. There are several I'm after and I cannot for the life of me remember the names of them.

Thank you so incredibly much to those who can help me!!

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmtcrespo:
Hello everyone,

I'm a proud owner of a SM-T530 Wifi tablet. So far i've been using the stock ROM and it has served me well.. up until now.

I only use the tablet to play a game called Summoners Wars. Since the latest update, the game will simply not run stable enough.

What's the problem? There just isn't enough free RAM available and Android closes the game when it well pleases.

I'm now looking for a custom ROM to overcome the lack of free RAM issue.

I would appreciate if anyone could recommend a custom ROM that:

is lightweight on RAM usage

is not rooted (the pesky game will not run on rooted devices)

Thank you!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaconcatBug:
Hi there. Basically when I connect to a proxy, the bypass list is not being respected and traffic is being routed to the proxy. This especially annoying because it's trying to send localhost/127.0.0.1 requests though the proxy and that is causing apps to **** themselves and die.

What is annoying is that this only happens on SOME emulators and not others, despite them all using 4.4.4. For example, MEmu v2.9.6.1 works but v3.0.8 doesn't (but the Android 5.1 image does), nor does KOPlayer 1.4.1055.

Is there anything I can do to fix this other than just using a different emulator when I need to use a proxy? I have been told this is an issue on some physical phones too.

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
Or if he needs Verizon, get a phone where XDA forum shows the Verizon bootloader can be unlocked. For instance Droid Turbo XT1254 -- as long as it's not on the very latest firmware version (and Sunshine team is even working on that).

Or other Sunshine cracked phones.

Or Moto Nexus 6.

Point is, with Verizon phones you really have to research first before you buy -- if rooting is important to you.

I have a GitHub Pages website where I can store my journey of trying to find better battery life.

What I'd like to ask you guys, is what thinks you think I could try to boost battery life.

At the moment I'm looking at CPU restriction with EX Kernel Manager - I've got good results from disabling two of the "big" cluster's cores, for example.

If you lose a lot of battery due to poor signal, definitely check out the "Automatic 2G/4G switching based on Wi-Fi connectivity (ROOT REQUIRED)" part of my site!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idiosyncratinom:
Agreed - to put it simply: if you aren't on wifi and need mobile data to have a lot of smartphone functionality, then using 3G or 4G is just what you have to do.

However, if you're on wifi, maybe you'd get better signal and less battery drain on 2G. Asides from VoLTE, I don't see a problem with my 2G/4G switching.

I was using kernel adiutor, but as i saw your post, just bought exkm and saw that it have some things that KA doesn't have.

I got my rn4 2 days ago, flashed xiaomi-eu and ultimate performance mod.

using all cores, min652-1036max cpu, as i did not saw/feel lag and stuttering while browsing through social media, chatting and playing some games. Got 1d16h19min and 13h8min SoT. could be a little more SoT if i had the phone turned on all time, as i saw about 10% is gone while in standby. wish we could lower frequencies a little more down than 652mhz so it takes a little more to drop battery.

Now i'm going to try it with exkm, same cpu freq, but with 2 big cores off. Also gpu min133-510max, and initial freq 216.

I also turn off GPS(only using power save mode) and set data to 2g, as i have no need in the moment, using only my phone at house and work. Brightness at maximum 15-20%. using Lspeed agressive doze.

i will update when i have about 5% battery.

Will have to try 1036MHz max. To be honest, I chose 1600 as that's what worked on my OnePlus One.

What's the ultimate performance mod? Something in L-Speed?

I think you could drop your GPU max a bit. See if things are still smooth. Initial freq can be lower too.

I seem to be getting away with 3 of the big cores turned off, perf.d disabled, glassfish interactive governor profile.

With minimum brightness, 2G, solid signal, heavy underclock, light usage... I can reach close to 4 day idle and 12h SoT.

I think higher SoT is possible in less days of course, but if you're out and about you can probably half those extreme stats due to brightness and signal differences.

Yes, that's what I am running. I had a bad time getting TWRP installed. I kept getting a weird screen instead of TWRP and I used ODIN 3.12.3 and TWRP 3.1.0-1 and then tried 3.1.1.1 that failed too. I finally ended up using ODIN 3.12.5 and TWRP 3.1.0-1 I also had flash the tablet back to 6.01, and then back to 7.0 as when I tried to use ODIN to reflash directly to 7.0 again but it basically didn't do anything so I had to flash backward 1st. I think the partitions for my stock ROM were somehow messed up, and flashing back to 6.01 and then back up to 7.0 fixed it. Even with that, I had to use the older TWRP 3.1.0-1 I think that was the worst time I ever had getting a device rooted. I set up the stock ROM, and then backed it up using Titanium backup, and also nandroid backup. After that, I blew out the stock rom, and installed AEX and Substratum. I love AEX. Stable, and very fast and I can still play Netflix even with Netflix not supposing to work with rooted devices. Yay Magisk!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] usynn:
Hi guys, I one month ago I bought my google pixel XL from a cash converters seller on ebay UK used, I've been using it and today its been blocked. Obviously the previous owner has ran an insurance fraud scam saying that their phone has been stolen, getting a new phone and the money for selling the phone and thus leaving me with an unsable phone.

I just want to ask, does anyone know of the IMEI repair services? Can I fix the IMEI on my phone, get it removed from the blacklist. Is there any recourse for having my phone back working again?

Thanks in advance.

So the big big under the screen like the Pixel XL is here to stay?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I never had a problem with any non Google phone that I've ever owned start to lag or stutter after 6-9 months of use but it probably depends on how you use it. If you run a custom Rom and clean flash instead of dirty it gives your phone a fresh start with every update. If you run stock you should use a good utility once in a while like SD Maid to clean out the junk files and cache that accumulates over time. If you still notice a problem just factory reset the phone. There's nothing magical about Google phones that makes them run better over time. If anything with their recent phones exactly the opposite is true--the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P didn't even work for much more than a year for many users before going into permanent bootloops. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Pixel XL ends up doing the same. At least Samsung phones (with the exception of the one that blew up) actually last until you get sick of them and are ready to upgrade. Google forces you to upgrade by selling phones that self destruct.

First:

You need a ROOTED phone!, I didn't try this on a non-rooted phone, and I don't think it'll work on a non-rooted phone. However, you can do it on a custom recovery like TWRP.

Second:

You have to mount system and data partitions using this command:

adb shell
su
mount /system
mount /data

Third:

Now you can edit system time using this command:

date MMDDhhmmYYYY.ss

Where MM = month, DD = day, hh = hours, mm = minutes, YYYY = year, .ss = seconds;

example:

date 061422362017.00

Fourth:

You can now set the hardware clock using this command:

hwclock -w

Fifth:

using

date

alone will display your current system date.

using

hwclock -r

will display you current hardware clock.

make sure your time zone is -1 or your hardware clock will be incorrect!

______________________________________________________

This method is used when you can't access the system, or can't set time regularly.
