1.56.401.70 OTA update is not easy to find (lots of dead links).

I've just found that https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759885224, it seems to contain a firmware.zip that I can't open, so I'm confused since you told it is meant to be a classic zip file. Just to be sure, does this firmware seem correct to you (ota and signed)?

Boot loops after Los 14.1(nightly 05/09 Eu) on htc a9 2.18.707.1

Need 2.18.707.1 rom for a9 or something compatible

Hi

I soft bricked my phone,was trying to install lineageOs 14.1 09/05 nightly on Indian A9-which was updated to Nougat in April.

I only got bootloops.

I have unlocked bootloader , but S-On.

Firmware is 2.18.707.1

I can boot in twrp recovery or download mode etc.

Tried 2.18.617 ruu which is available online, but got error 155, which said -to use compatible rom.

Wasted a lot of nights trying to solve the issue.

Could not find compatible firmware.

Kernel etc for the same firmware has been released by Htc like 3 months ago on htc dev.com

Please help. I think 2.18.707.1 ruu will solve the issue. Or please suggest any other rom or solution which may work.

More over , I was experimenting on my wife's phone

Hello, i have some issues with my htc that is breaking my head, i think is something with the S-on on my HTC one a9, the problem is that when i tried to update Lineage (the 27 of Dec) it was going allright i download i flash it and all was cool, then when it began to reboot it stuck on the htc logo, so i reset format all data and flash it again, and again stuck on the logo, i did it again with the Gapps even flashing the version i had, and still the same, htc logo, whats is breaking my head is that i can rebbot to recovery like always and when i flash the roms the gapps even magisk all is a succces, nothing wrong not even a problem during the procces, any ideas??? thank you in advance for any help i can get.

Hi There, my issue here relates to the fact that I don't have signal inside home, the cell has to be in my backyard (not kidding here). So I need to have, I guess, a Bluetooth Speaker in the living room to actually hear if a text message comes in (this little chime). Will this setup work? I have a Samsung/Android. Thanks
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] nissanoo0:
Hi, i am looking for any rom which offers minimum of 4-5h sot and support OMS, now i have AEX aosp i really like that rom but the battery is so rubbish. (about 3h sot) I had stock oos 4.1.6 i really enjoy it but it does not support fully oms... Any suggestions?

Please don't tell me that u got 6-7h sot but u don't use any social media apps, no one buy's a phone with snap821 and use messenger lite etc...
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] MarcTremonti:
What has the processor to do with social media apps?

Its a fact that apps like facebook drain a lot of battery. As long as you use them that will happen on every rom.

4h SOT is like my worst case scenario on latest freedomOS CE. Mostly like 5-6 SOT.

But this highly is dependent of your personal usage (screen brightness, auto sync and ofc battery hungry apps like facebook).

I for example use "Friendly" for facebook which is way more battery friendly and has same features and even messenger inside.

noone can recommend you any ROM and say with this ROM you will have X hours of SOT. So thread title is kinda obsolete.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] nissanoo0:
Does freedom ce support oms?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] MarcTremonti:
Since its OOS based, no. But you still can use special OOS substratum modules like Ozone, which is pretty great and feature rich.

For OMS you can use pretty much every non OOS based ROM. All big ones have it: RR, DU, AOSPA.

I tried these 3 also but always went back to freedomOS.

Apart from that you can use custom kernels like bluspark which might save some juice. Available for OOS based and custom Roms (lineage based).
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] nissanoo0:
I tried RR but battery was around 2-3h sot. Now i wanna switch from AEX to AOSPA or OB10/Freedom? which one would u pick? And how was your's battery live on AOSPA?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] MarcTremonti:
I had the best battery life on freedomOS CE + bluspark kernel so far.

If you can live without OMS i'd recommend FreedomOS.

I had higher idle drain on AOSPA and a lot other users also reported that in the thread, but that was in early stage of the rom. I dont know how many and what updates they released since then. But AOSPA seems like the only real OOS alternative to me since its great camera.

I guess you can give AOSPA a try. If it doesnt suits you, go for FreedomOS CE (has touch latency improvements and other nice features which stable doesnt have) + custom kernel like bluspark or franco.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] vip57:
I know you want OMS but will talk about battery life

I recommend flashing custom OxygenOs rom like freedomOS or xXx No limits with bluspark kernel and you can easily achieve 5 hours SOT if you installed AKT profile
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] nissanoo0:
Thank's for time, im making backup now and flashing AOSPA :) If im not gonna by happy, i will go for FreedomOS CE :D
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] ProudRed:

[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers] Celludroid:
Hi!

As a dedicated camera phone, I would expect the ZF3 Zoom to have good support for the Camera2 API that gives camera app developers access to manual controls. Can anyone run a test with "Camera2 probe" and let me know what the hardware support level is? It will be one of four: Legacy (worst), Limited, Full or Level 3 (best). I do hope it's either Full or Level 3, otherwise this would be a great disappointment.

Cheers!

[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers] rafa10pj:
What does that mean for custom camera apps in this phone?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers] Celludroid:
By "custom" do you mean 3rd party camera apps or the native camera app of the phone? I'm mostly interested in pro video recording apps and as far as I can see they need 'Full' or 'Level 3' support to work at all (Filmic Pro) or have the pro mode with manual controls like shutter speed available (Lumio Cam for instance). I'm not sure how 'Limited' does affect most apps as I have only devices that have either 'Legacy' (which is the worst support level) or 'Full'/'Level 3' (best). Phone makers can integrate advanced manual controls in their native apps without relying (fully) on the Camera2 API because they manipulate the software on a deeper level but 3rd party devs need to rely on Camera2 API as far as I know.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers] serialteg:
Which are the best 3rd party camera apps to use? That's a new world for me.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers] j1505243:
Not so deeper, rather their own APIs or just Qualcomm APIs (extended Camera1).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] fkofilee:
Hi Guys

I have a quick question - How do i remove system apps on the Tab S3.

Everytime i go to remove and app thru Tit Backup - It restores it after reboot.

Rooted with SuperSU - Id like to uninstall Knox etc but cant?

I had this on the S8 - Is this to do with the Kernel needing to be permissive? Any help would be welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] vogemic:
I think you have no R/W access to the system. Did you flash the no-verity-opt-encrypt patch when rooting? Download root essentials from the play store. There you have the option to mount system R/W. After enabling that removing the system apps should work.

Solution I found for my Galaxy S7 was to use /system/app mover available from F-Droid.Org

Move apps first to be User apps, reboot and you can uninstall them.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] JackieBlue:
Judging by the number of Thanks on this thread, I can see that problems with apps have been an issue with rooted Tab S3s for quite some time.

The problems I am having are actually the reverse, however; whenever I delete system apps my device becomes all but soft-bricked (Android strips me of many user privileges).

Makes me sick for a device I paid $500 for and own.

Now this is for a recent root "professionally" performed just the other day by OneClickRoot using Magisk.

Having said that, I would suggest that anyone having difficulty removing apps really doesn't want to experience the consequences of what happens when you do.

So far OneClickRoot has been MIA as far as providing assistance for an improperly performed root that voided my warranty and which I cannot use.

But what they do not know (yet) is that I screen recorded the sessions while they had remote access to my PC and were rooting my device. I haven't yet investigated whether there are newer files they could have used, but I do know that I was prompted to update Magisk on my device almost immediately afterward.

It does seem clear that Android came out with some kind of a patch that thwarted the plan. And it was seriously harrowing.

Anyway, with the guidance of the screen recordings I was able to do some experimenting with app removal and unroot/reroot at my leisure.

It didn't take much in the way of app removal to throw the system into a state of angst like I've never seen (I rooted my Galaxy S3 phone a long time ago on my own and it went peacefully and without incident). I never once touched [removed] a single core system file on this S3 tablet (of course, that may be understating it; apps like Chrome could be considered to contain core system files - after all, it is an Android). I also did not remove Google Play Services or Google Play because I kinda had a hunch.

Incidentally, I used ES File Explorer to remove the apps. A decent reputation with Google. Downloaded with Yalp Store. (After removing the apps, some time later I went back to the root section of ES and got a notification that said "Sorry. That feature is not available on this device.")

At the moment I am back in re-rooted state and experimenting with an app disabler/freezer. So far so good. It's interesting to see what I haven't been able to disable - Chrome being one of them. The others (Music, Movies, Maps, Hangouts, OneDrive, etc. were disabled without incident). I'm wondering if this experiment is demonstrating which apps I can safely remove with the root.

Oh, I disabled Google Text-to-Speech and once in a while I get a feeble notification alerting me that it has stopped which is fine by me. I'm sick of them stalking me all over the Internet let alone logging my every keystroke.

Anyway, that's my story and the current forecast where uprooting is concerned.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] jd1639:
I looked at oneClickRoot. It wants access to all your accounts. Why does it need that? That scares me. I also don't see how it would root your device without tripping Knox. Maybe it doesn't, I don't know.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] JackieBlue:
JD, sometimes roots trip Knox and sometimes they don't. They didn't advise me of that either way.

I'm not sure why they want access to all your accounts. Maybe it's just because a root requires total access to your device.

There's nothing you don't see while they are performing the root so I don't think it's much to be concerned about.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] JackieBlue:
I should set up the fake Google account on my S3 phone with the Chicago IP address and then play Ingress in my real neighborhood just to taunt them.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] jd1639:
You do know there is a root method by ashyx in the development section, right. Also, I'd just freeze apps with tibu. That way if your system starts to freeze you can just unfreeze them.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] JackieBlue:
Hi JD. :)

No, I didn't know about ashyx. Thanks for that though. I might end up looking into it. I'm wondering if a root is just a root, though? There are a couple of apps that have given me errors that said "Your SU binary is functional but might not work reliably on some Android 4.3+ ROMs. If you encounter any issues in TB, please try SuperSU instead." I got that error from Titanium Backup today and I think also from Malwarebytes the other day.

So I'm wondering if uninstalling Magisk and installing SuperSU instead might make a difference.

I reallly have no clue. I'm going to try it though. As a last resort I will probably try re-rooting. Have you used ashyx? If so, were you able to remove apps without a hassle?

Also, is that your Porsche? Nice . . . . . if you're in Minnesota, bet you can't wait until June lol.

I'm from the Midwest orignally - I guess it was kind of a rough winter, no? I know last winter was.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] jd1639:
You'll get the same message with supersu as magisk in TB. It's not an issue. And, yes, I use [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] method for root. It's worked for all firmwares so far, but I'm almost sure it won't (twrp) if Samsung ever gives us Oreo. But I have confidence in ashyx that he'll modify it so it will, he's the man!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] JackieBlue:
Between both of my devices I had become really mentally/emotionally stressed and exhausted and had a short but intense cry yesterday. I would have benefited from a longer one.

Last night I woke up to discover that Google had added another hundred or so services to the Google Play Services app on my S7 which brought the number up to 300+. (As an aside, the same thing happened on my Tab S3 several days ago.) I'm not sure if I had wi-fi or mobile data turned on when it happened or both - I had been turning them both on and off intermittently throughout the day. All I can think is that Verizon must have been sharing data. It happened on the S3 for a different reason and I caught that while it was happening.

I thought that I was using Verizon simply for a signal. I don't use their cloud and I don't sync any data to their servers in any other manner. Come to discover there were a couple of settings I overlooked.

Google and Verizon are in bed together - I did discover that much. I really did want to maintain a location with Verizon so I could at least locate my device if I were ever to lose it; they charge enough and I can be incredibly absentminded at times, like using the calculator on my phone while shopping, lying it down on a shelf when picking something up and walking away. But when I went to Verizon's website to see if they offered such a service I was redirected straight to Google. They're kidding, right?

Google is so unbelievably insidious. You really don't know until you try to escape.

I'm a quiet, introverted person - all I want is my privacy, my freakin' Kindle app and a few simple others. And I WOULD get a Kindle, but even the best one only records video in 720p! But no - 4k or no 4k, I'm not about to curl up in a hollow log with a Kindle.

The S3 has been turned off for the past couple of days; both devices present challenges of their own. The S7 is worse I think with Verizon in the mix. My S7 has turned out to be the guinea pig it seems.

I know how to re-root the S7 if I brick it again but I'll spare myself the hassle. I paid One Click Root for the 6-month extended support package and I'll make them work for it. They pretty much dissed me on the S3 so they deserve it.

Right now the S7 is stable (and functional) again - I was up for hours last night after my ghastly, half-conscious discovery disabling another hundred Google Play subservices. Right now I'm backing up to My Backup Pro's cloud and after that I think I'm going to go offline and uninstall The Framework and Google Play Services. Surely Google can't coerce Verizon to cut off data services to a loyal customer.

hello

i had a beautiful and full working P9 Lite, VNS-L21 Dual Sim with stock Android 7.0.

wanted to downgrade to MM, but i got it bricked

boot unlocked, flashed TWRP, then OEM file and then Official (all from here : http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1261335)

after starting official MM flashing by VOL+, VOL- and POWER, got error "Software install failed!" and dead from that moment.

flashed different TWRP and tried to boot into recovery by VOL+ and POWER, but nothing

also flashed different versions of 6.0 and 7 by fastboot, nothing. at some point boot got locked back, but unlocked it again.

disassembled, disconnected battery, nothing.

ready to try any ideea you think may be lucky.

If you're getting fastboot try and unlock your bootloader, install twrp for mm. Try and download your firmware eg L21C532B160, leave it in the zip format, place on your SD card, then boot into TWRP and flash the zip file. That should do the trick.

It depends what you are doing. Seriously. WHen I first got it, I thought it was gonna die before the day ended.

On a typical day- 5-10minutes of phone, no 3g(i have edge,no 3g), 1 picture (just because I play around with the camera), pda about 10minutes, turning the unit off an on about once every hour or 2, internet maybe (5-10minutes), every 30minutes it checks email.

In 12+ hours I'm down to 85% battery. Not bad. I forgot to charge it once. By the time I charged it the following night (on for about 35+hrs) I still had about 40%.

It worked fine. But mind you stuff like 3g or always doing something that requires heavy power can and will drain the batteries.
