Great question. Does the kppd that savoca wrote work on your phone, but my app doesn't? Which soc chip does your phone have?
[G4 Themes and Apps] Babakkardan:
It is Snapdragon 600.

I noticed the kppd.conf is correctly updated every time I change the settings and enable on the app, only it doesn't make the change on the display.

This is the first time I am installing kppd on this device.
[G4 Themes and Apps] AlaskaLinuxUser:
I'm sorry my friend, but that is an 8064 soc, that chip is not supported (see post #1 for supported chips).
[G4 Themes and Apps] Babakkardan:
Ah ok well thank you for informing me. I will go through the first post.

[MENTION=7026648]AlaskaLinuxUser[/MENTION] Hi. Im using Xiaomi A1 with sd625 processor.

My device using a/b partition same with pixel. Rooted by magisk.

When try Kppd control, given permission, app not working, just reboot and nothing happy, checked in /bin and /document but no files there.

Try flash "manual" kppd by twrp but it failed (error 7).

Then, im using mixplorer to copy mannual kppd to /bin folder and set permission 755, and postproc to /data

After reboot, using Terminal app and type :

kppd /data/postproc.conf . But it show : syntaxnerror p@a unexpected

Any suggestions? Thanks.
[G4 Themes and Apps] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Sorry my friend, but the msm8953 (which I think is in your phone) is not a compatible chip. I just made the easy to use app, not kcal itself. If kcal itself will not work on your phone, I cannot help you.
[G4 Themes and Apps] kingkhan2843:
Hello sir.Please help me. I have lg nexus 5 with 8974 chip and kppd and this app is not working in my nexus.I have tried everything like changing pa version and roms and giving permission but nothing changed.Sorry for my bad english.Thanks
[G4 Themes and Apps] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Sorry to hear that you are having trouble. Or should work on your phone. So what is happening that doesn't work?
[G4 Themes and Apps] levone1:
Any ideas how to get it working on O? Using Omni 8.1 on Xperia Xc, and system crashes when executing script or applying settings.
[G4 Themes and Apps] AlaskaLinuxUser:
What chip is in that phone?

Does kppd from savoca work (link in op)?
[G4 Themes and Apps] levone1:
Same phone I've been using it with on 7.1.1, Xperia Xc, (f5321), 64bit. I tried with kppd app, and also with script. Editing postproc.conf and saving doesn't cause crash,but doesn't make a change. Attempting to run script, or tapping 'Enable' in app causes freeze and crash.

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

Interesting note - running the command in terminal in recovery causes changes to take effect. Not persistent on reboot though. Maybe a rom issue, not version issue

..
[G4 Themes and Apps] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Interesting. Just an aside, but it will not be persistent after reboot. If the app works properly, then it would re-enable kppd after reboot. But if you run it from the command line, then the app will probably not be able to do that.

Could you pull a logcat? If you turn on adb, hook to you computer, and run adb logcat, then try to use the app. After it freezes or crashes, you could copy the terminal output and post it here. Without a log I can't begin to trouble shoot.

However, you said this is Oreo, correct? Oreo has very stringent security, even if you are in permissive. I suspect that to be the case, as an off the cuff guess. [emoji2]
[G4 Themes and Apps] levone1:
https://pastebin.com/SzidNiym

I don't know much about reading logs, but I see around line 100 a Java permission error in response to kppd. Then everything just dies. I left the phone on for about 5 minutes after freeze, but seems like log stopped about 1 minute after...

Any hope?
[G4 Themes and Apps] AlaskaLinuxUser:
01-15 06:51:57.632 *3412 *3412 W System.err: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/documents/kppd.conf (Permission denied)

Here is the actual fail. Yes, you are right about that.

1. Okay, does the folder : /storage/emulated/0/documents/ exist? If not, can you create it? Notice the lower case documents.

2. Does kppd.conf exist in that folder? If not, can you create a blank file of that name there?

3. Does the app have storage permission? (About app, permissions.)

4. Does the app have root permission?
[G4 Themes and Apps] levone1:
I had uninstalled, so I reinstalled, and made sure all above were 'yes', and tried again. Still freeze and crash, but log is quite different. I see some 'no response' and 'timeout' lines down around line 140, and a few 'error opening trace file'...

https://pastebin.com/9DK0yzVp
[G4 Themes and Apps] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Great work!

Notice line 253, this is the tombstone. This is where it dies. The process that dies is 2126. That process starts on line 7, before kppd starts. It is the screen buffer. Odd....

There are quite a few permission avc read/write errors throughout the log, but I'm not entirely sure which ones are related. Oreo is so new, and your xposed modules add notes to the log, making it difficult to pin down.

I'm looking at this on my cell phone, so maybe tomorrow I can look at the logs on a desktop screen, so I can see and search better. ;)

Also Oreo is now available for my lg g4, so perhaps I can try it there, tomorrow as well.
[G4 Themes and Apps] levone1:
Thanks. I wonder if changing log level or attempting on clean-flashed rom might help...
[G4 Themes and Apps] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Wouldn't hurt, but let me try that on my clean Oreo phone tomorrow, to save you the hassle. ;)
[G4 Themes and Apps] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Okay, tested on AOSCP Oreo for the lg g4, and it didn't work at all for me. Looks like permission problems, and maybe a location issue for where the files go. So, I'll try to iron this out over the next couple of days.
[G4 Themes and Apps] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Okay, reworked and sucessfully tested on an LG G4 H811, running AOSCP 8.1. Works like a charm. I updated the play store to version 1.6, but it may take a couple hours for the play store to update. And the new apk is available here:

https://github.com/alaskalinuxuser/app_kppdcontrol/blob/master/app/kppdcontrol_v1.6.apk

Give that a try and see if it works.

Note, if you have previously installed kppd, you need to go delete the old app. Then, go to the terminal or adb:

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount /system

# rm /system/bin/kppd

# mount -o ro,remount /system

Then I recommend that you reboot, and install the new app.

Give that a try and let me know how that works for you.
[G4 Themes and Apps] levone1:
Nice - I'm back on N atm, but won't last long. I'll check it out. Maybe you should make a thread in Android developed and hacking. Or post in kppd thread at least. I think lots of people would appreciate it...

Thanks
[G4 Themes and Apps] wokawoka:
in case we need to uninstall the app and the daemon, is it enough to uninstall the app and to remove the kppd folder in /system/bin/?

many thanks
[G4 Themes and Apps] wokawoka:
any help? how to correctly uninstall it?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] GeneticJim:
Hey all,

I dropped my V20 in a puddle on monday. It spent about 5 seconds submersed. I did remove the battery and put it in front of a airconditioner fan. When I got home I put it in a bag of rice. Today the screens backlight is messed up. The only area that lights up is the upper right. The rest is displaying info but no backlight unless I tap the phone hard on a flat surface. Then entire screen lights up for a while then it goes back to the upper right being lit up. I put it back in dry rice tonight. Everything on the phone works 100% but the backlight. What can be done. I dont want to buy another phone and I dont have insurance.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mehtamitul:

Weren't these phone supposed to be almost waterproof?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] gustav30:
V20 never meant to be waterproof. G6 yes.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dumbquestion:
I found success a few years ago by shoving my phone with the battery cover and battery removed into the flexible tubing of a shop-vac (no attachments on the end) and running it for about an hour. I did this immediately after taking it from the toilet it dove in; this sucked the air through it and pulled internal water out, rather than blowing air on it and not bothering the internals much at all. After that I put it in rice for 2 days to try to make sure all the water is out and evaporated. From some of my friends in the electronics field I hear it's the corrosion that hurts more than the water, and turning on the phone before all water is removed is about the worst move you can make. This may be more useful info for next time, but wait until all drying techniques are employed before putting in the battery and turning on the phone/tablet. Good luck.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Team DevDigitel:
youll need to open it, and take denatured alcohol and clean all the parts using a tooth brush, each time u put battery in/charge ur ruining the board and circuitry, need to clean off the corrosion before causing more damaged, but sadly to say if its been a few days and been in rice/dried up when you open it i wouldn't be shocked you'll find the cable that connects ur screen is fried at the board side and wont be repairable.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] @rbiter:
I forgot about that. This phone is easy to take apart. Iirc, it's 16 screws or so.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TheAvatar:
Hi, I'm using a Dopod 838 pro with the Touch II rom and I was just wondering if anyone knows how I can get the ringtone to play through the phones speaker as well as the headset? At the moment when I have my headset connected it only rings through the headset, I am using a Blueant X5 headset and when the phone rings it doesn't play the ringtone it just beeps. I end up missing alot of calls if I am not wearing my headset. I have tried to google the issue but have not come up with anything useful.

TIA.

[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] Sulik50:
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this query but I can't find anywhere else.

I've got a Swift 2X and I'm having real issues with the Bluetooth audio in my car. I had no issues with my previous Galaxy S5 but with the Swift the music keeps cutting in and out. I've tried most basic tests and the issue send to be completely random.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mitch
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] heavy_metal_man:
What way does it cut in/out? Does it pause the music or lose connection and then regain it? Also what model of car/radio.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] Sulik50:
Hi Heavy Metal Man, I think it's pausing and not losing connection. Everything Bluetooth wise works fine for calls, (Audible) audio books and Google navigation directions. The problem is when I try to listen to music from my phone, I've tried Spotify, Amazon music and Google music and the Origen is the same. And, I am when possible downloading the music to my phone and no streaming it over mobile data.

I have a 2011 DS3 with the built in original radio/Bluetooth hands free kit (not sure of the model of radio sorry).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Mitch
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] heavy_metal_man:
Hmm. What file format types are the songs? Any play better than others? It seems odd that it is only music. Have a play about with other sources and see if any play with less stuttering.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] andyon2:
Hello everybody,

I had a very strange error today and I still didnt get to solve that problem:

I have a 128gb micro sc card in my Air 3G and it worked fine for more than one year.

Today I received my new mirrorless camera and tested some videos.

So I decided to extract them under Windows 10 on my Air 3G.

There an error occured, unfortunately I cant remember the correct error-number and just now I reset my windows 10.

It sais something with hardware issues and I can't write videos onto the sd card.

Other things work quite well, but no video will go to the micro sd card.

Does anybody has an idea how to fix that problem?

Thx!! :)

Best regards

Andreas
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Idkwhatusername:
I've been looking to buy this laptop (if you can even call it one) and wanted to know how light games like Roblox, Minecraft and CSGO would run because I mostly want it for drawing and media but I want to play a few light games.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] uuang:
CSGO seems like a bridge too far, however at reduced graphical settings minecraft should be good. I'm inexperienced with Roblox. Also, I have the android version rather than the Windows version, so this is speculative, however I feel strongly that CSGO will not run well. It will probably run, though. Expect to use an external keyboard if you plan to play fast paced games.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] ClausG76:
What about the Android version? I think it in some ways will handle the light gaming better. But some of the games you have mentioned, might run on on lowest settings according some YouTube videos with similar hardware. On the Windows version and not on the Android version. But the Android version will have more touch screen supported games. A lot of touch screen supported windows games is made for Arm processors exclusively. On Android you can play the original Counter strike though. Using xash3d and cs16client, which has touchscreen support.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickrick:
I awoke this morning to find my sd card in my Tab S 10.5 had corrupted overnight. Besides losing all the apps installed there, I now can't get it partitioned again for adoptable storage.

Basically, I want to set the card up as 55% adoptable, 45% external. I was following this procedure before, but it isn't working now. Also, Apps2SD isn't creating a script either.

Can someone give me a few pointers? I think I remember using MiniTool Partition Wizard when I did it before, after the marshmallow update, but if I did, I can't find the guide that I used for it.

[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] raulsingh:
Hi, I am planning on getting the Honor 8 pro by the end of this week.i came up with a few doubts. I am switching from Moto G4 plus to Honor 8 pro and the EMUI thing has got me concerned.

1. Is it by any chance as good as the near stock android like feel of Moto G4 plus?

2. Is there a way of getting stock android in it without bricking my phone?

3. I just received the June 2017 security patch for Moto G4+ and it got me wondering, how will I receive these updates if I somehow manage to get stock android on Honor 8 pro?

4. I can even work with near stock like ROMs , like oxygen OS or CynogenMods or anything similar, but then, how long will be my wait before I get my hands on Android O after it is released. Is the Honor developer community very active? Or should I stay with EMUI expecting office releases?

5. I am not planning to get another phone for next couple of years and I am tight on budget. Am I doing the right thing by going for his phone instead of say 1+5 or LG G6 ? Or should I wait a few more weeks/months to get another "flagship killer" to be launched?

I am not very familiar with rooting and stuff so if anyone could guide me towards some resources to read about these, it will be great. Preferably Honor phones related rooting.

Thankyou in advance
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] venugopalu007:
1. EMUI looks similar with app drawer , not fully stock as g4 plus

2.updates are pretty fast now by huawei

3 .you will get the latest security patch.l

4.kernal is released we can expect good ROM development

5.RRos is so cool in this device ,AOSPA also.. best ROMs

6. if you are a flasholic better to go for OP5 .the development is soo fast there .
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Your post seems like you want stock Android, if that's the case then you should go with OP5.
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] venugopalu007:
Yeah , many are loved full stock on moto devices no crap.
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] raulsingh:
I would love to have OP5 but I am really really tight on budget, even 30K is stretching me too far from my budget. I just want to make sure that it's worth it. I am not a flasholic, I flash once in like 6 months, just to test out some other ROMS, just want to ensure that I won't have to dig the depths of the internet to get a compatible ROM.
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] venugopalu007:
if you get honor 8 for 18k it was the best deal around that budget :)
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] MrHuman:
I rather enjoy having more functions then stock android. This is not Samsung or LG amount of bloatware or wierd functions, but rather small improvements. Still fast and lagg free and I have no doubt it still will be in a couple of years.

The screen, looks & build quality and battery life are stuff that really impress and makes this a "flagship phone /killer". Also quite future proof specs.
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] raulsingh:
Just for everyone to know, I finally bought Honor 8 Pro, and so far I am very happy that I did. Thank you all for the replies.

I even dropped the phone once from a height of around 4 feets (Unintentionally ofcourse) and apart from having a little paint removed from the top, everything is fine. Guess the build quality is good enough.

I remember reading about having a software upgrade soon on 25-26th of this month. Anyone has any update on that ?
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] raulsingh:
Yes, this is great, not bad at all. I am just worried about the updates now, that's all. Other than that, EMUI is pretty sleek.

[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] srvoleti:
Yes, same is the case with me, though I had enough experience with some other devices.
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] mydragoon:
any reason for preferring stock Android? what do you expect from "stock" experience? smoothness? or an Android without any extra features? and why?

EMUI has got it's own pros & cons.. there are some really good things that Huawei has implemented into the OS. there are also some quirks that they've never gotten to fixing..

in terms of security patches.. Huawei and honor, sadly, can be a bit slow. maybe like once every 3-6 months once.

but personally, I'm not too worried coz in the end, if you practise safe use, not an issue. before I got my honor8Pro, I was using Note 2.. and well, what security patch? haha..
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] ssj792:
wait a little

Moto g5s and s+ are one the way ... so might as well wait for them, and few other noteworthy devices are getting released, there's been meizu with dual screen.... I use honor8 pro... it has all the premium features on surface.... but not mind blowing, good cam, better screen , thin profile, premium finish and attention to detail are few highlights, but expected a lot more from emui, no native equalizer though dts certified, knuckle knock for screenshots works at its own will, not many customized options in features, only reason I'd go for non stock Android phones ks their skin embedded features whereas on stock Android you'd need an app..

Another noteworthy omission is no photobackup on huwei cloud, and system state backup seems to be non existent as well...

Few more points to consider is how Future proof is your phone, because you'd expect some resale value right.. from 30000 the fall of price might be steeper, so consider it all and jump the boat, meanwhile if you do buy honor 8 pro do get back with your opinion about the device and any good things you've discovered about it... it'd be nice to compare
