I've put a PIN on my phone and I don't want it now. But when I go to lock screen-password, I put my actual PIN and I get this:

What I can do to get rid of it?

I have stock B600

Thanks.

In up corner you see privacy protection, on your Firmware will be like Encrypt or smlt. Just press it, and follow the steps! But if f you can't then make factory reset!
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmedoov:
That's a known bug in the latest firmwares. Set a pattern and insert it wrongly for 5 times then press "forgot the pattern" button or something like that and after entering the pin code it will ask you to choose the new lock method. Just press the home button and you are done

I am on LineageOS 14.1-20170703-NIGHTLY-bacon and whenever I try to create a symbolic link (symlink) with terminal, i got the following error:

I am trying to redirect the contents of my syncthing folders to their default paths in android (music, sygic data...)

su
ln -sf /source-path /destination-path

I have tried with all the virtual paths to my internal storage that I have found:

/storage/emulated/0/

/storage/self/primary/

/mnt/sdcard/

/sdcard/

I have read that there is no way to create symbolic links in a FAT/FAT32/NTFS partitons. I have not created any partitions in my internal storage. How can I check if my internal storage is EXT2/3/4 or not?

My OPO is rooted and Terminal app got SU permissions enabled.

Thanks in advance.

Use "Disk Info" app to know about your partitions.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jdock:
When choosing my camera 'photo size' option I picked the 4:3 (13MP) choice. But at some point when I looked, the highest resolution available was 4:3 (8MP). I just remembered this and was going to post a question (thinking maybe I was mistaken and the highest choice was always 8MP) and I see once again that my setting is 4:3 (13MP) as I expected.

So my question is, anyone ever see the top choice being only 8MP, and know why it would happen? From experience I know that sometimes you will be limited in max image size by certain feature options (for example EIS, which we do not have here, or modes that allow quicker sequential shooting).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Insomaniac10:
Hi everyone,

So a couple of weeks ago I decided to jump into the pool with my S6 in my trunks pocket. It was submerged for over 5min. Of course I thought it was curtains for my device, but I figured there was no harm in spending a few days trying to revive it before officially writing it off. After two days in rice, and two more days of sitting out in the sun with a fan blowing directly on it - IT...IS.....ALIIIIVE.

The phone has been in operation, and functional, for about a week now. However the first issue I noticed was that my audio now skips when the screen is off. It doesn't matter which app I'm using, or if I'm streaming or playing locally - when the screen is off, all audio skips to the point where it is unlistenable. So I Googled this issue and found a few people saying that switching to the ONDEMAND cpu governor will fix this. I tried this, and sure enough, the skipping audio is immediately gone...however my phone crashes/restarts like crazy on the ONDEMAND governor (the only governor it seems to agree with is INTERACTIVE). FYI - I'm running BigDaddy Nougat and SkyHigh Kernel 5.01. I tried reflashing Big Daddy to get rid of SkyHigh, but the skipping audio persisted.

So I have a double-edged sword on my hands - I either have to live with crashing, or skipping audio. I don't want either. I do believe there are plenty of things i have not tried, given the kernel customization options available to me through Synapse - however it's been a very long time since Android was a hobby of mine, and I just have not kept up with all of the technology - the Synapse app is pretty intimidating to me, I don't want to just start messing with sliders.

Any suggestions? TIA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Insomaniac10:
BTW I should probably add that the crashing restarting only happens when the device is idle, or when I go to wake it up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Please. Please. Please.. DO NOT USE RICE -.-

I do not understand how this has spread so badly. If rice randomly absorbed moisture from the air, then theoretically, based off that fact, I could place rice in a dish on my counter in humid weather and the rice would get soft. But that doesn't happen. In addition, placing rice in salt shakers only dries out the rice, because the salt has a higher affinity to the water than rice! Rice will not absorb moisture without heat!!

The trick to recovering a water logged phone is ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL :D of 90% or greater that is..

My personal method for any electronic device I accidentally submerge is this:

I have vacuum seal containers. I place phone into container and fill to about half way with IPA. Then I use the suction pump to remove the air from the container, thus forcing the air out of the device and allowing IPA to enter.

Leave it like that for about 10 minutes while shaking.

IPA dissolves in water and thus greatly lowers its heat of vaporization (the temp at which water evaporates) and I also believe its not conductive, but the water (with stuff dissolved) is. That is why 90% or greater is required.

Doing my steps followed by a hair dryer to evaporate everything has saved my phone, my brother's phone, my GPS, and other electronics. Trust me on this, it works. It may even help get rid of your issue too, however it may be too late and corrosion already set in. Most times though, its what the water leaves behind that causes shorts/issues. But I'd still try it if I were in your situation.

How can I fix this?

Can I rename all the names to first name?

I have a bunch of contacts where their name is split all over first, middle, last name especially these chinese names. 3 words, tan sue jon

Try this little app i've made.

It will make you contacts display FirstName - Lastname.

One small glitch, somtimes i have to push the button more than once in order to update all contacts (i do not find a reason for this...) but it works for me.

I'm working on an improved version that will also allow to add birthdays to calendar and pictures to contacts.

Clark-Simple-Kernel

The goal of this kernel is to enable the necessary features to try out the Interactive governor profiles by SoniCron. HandBag kernel has worked pretty well for me too, but I get a little too obsessed with all the settings and options so I decided take a step back and keep it simple.

Overall, this kernel is based on the AICP kernel for Clark, with a few tweaks adopted from the ElementalX kernel for the Nexus 5X to allow for the Interactive governor profiles.

I’m using AICP, but it should work on any LOS based ROM as far as I know.

Features

Based on AICP 7.1.2 kernel, which is based on LOS kernel

Touchboost Toggle (adopted from ElementalX)

CPU Boost Options (adopted from ElementalX)

GlassFish 1.2 governor profile (by soniCron) set by default

AnyKernel2 installer

[1.1] Core control tweaks to set minimum big CPUs to 0 instead of 1 (better idling)*

[1.2+] Builds with UberTC 6.x and Linaro 6.3 toolchains (not sure if it's much difference but worth a try!)

[1.3+] zen I/O scheduler (not set by default, you'll have to use a kernel tuner app)

[1.5+] Westwood TCP congestion algorithm (Default)

[1.5+] iptables TTL target support

*I removed my previous core control tweak for the big cpus in version 1.4. Doesn't seem to really help battery life and may actually make it worse now that I've been using it for a while.

I also recommend trying the GlassCannon interactive governor profile and the zen I/O scheduler.

Installation

Flash Zip in Recovery

AnyKernel2 uses your existing ramdisk, so you may want to flash a fresh kernel from whatever ROM you are using before installing this.

Can I flash it at Hanbag 2.1? [MENTION=6299094]cmulk[/MENTION]
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] cmulk:
I think it should be fine for 2.1, but the latest Handbag (2.2) adds some governor settings to the init files in the ramdisk, so those will get left behind just because of the way AnyKernel2 works.

This kernel does the same sort of thing to apply governor settings in the init files, so the same is true in the other direction (you may get left-over governor settings applied at boot that you didn't intend).

If you have any trouble, flash the full boot.img from your ROM zip (or just the whole ROM zip) and then install this kernel on top of it

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] NJ72:
Hi Guys,

I'm not a dev and won't be able to any of the suggestions, but just some things I'm wondering from learning how the 960FPS camera works...

Firstly - the camera has a 128MB buffer for the 960fps shooting - this is why it is limited to 0.182 seconds of video (ish). So, two suggestions:

1- Can the camera app be modified to allow lower resolutions? at 720p it will only allow 0.182 seconds, at 480p would this be much longer?

2- Can the camera app be modified to allow lower frame rates? Obviously lower than 240fps is not really productive, but doubling the recording time by making it 480fps would be handy - most useful if you can select which FPS to use etc.

3- Is there any way to modify the app to enable automatic-sequential slow mo segments? One thing you can manually do is hit the Super Slow Mo button over and over again - with a minute delay whilst the cache flushes to the processor and then to storage. Can this be automated? You'd end up with a stuttery video afterwards, but you may end up capturing the specific detail you were aiming for - a water drop hitting the ground, a spark from a firework, a beat of a bird's wings etc.

As said, these are just thoughts, questions and suggestions - I am not a dev and won't be modding the cam app or anything, I'm just putting these out there to see if it's just me who wants them and also to see if there's anyone clever enough to make it so :)

Discussion encouraged :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] kot5nik:
I also wonder if the 960fps recording is accessible to third party apps.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] admad:
No way it is accessible, Sony even limited the shutter speed to 1/10s for third party apps, so I say the camera buffer functionality is a big NO for anyone other than Sony, at least for now...
