Okay, so I would use something like this code to scan the methods of loaded packages and hook onCreate methods?

github.com/rovo89/XposedBridge/issues/151

Sorry, it won't let me post a link.
[Xposed General] Massi-X:
I was thinking about hooking all the oncreate methods in every PKG (catching the error if not exists) and logging the PKG name. Another thing that comes to my mind: there where no errors in the log? The packages you want to log were installed before the reboot or you have installed after the module was active?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] smithilberry:
Hey, so I was wondering what option makes the most sense for a pixel xl on Verizon?

The reason I started looking into this is because sometimes my phone seems to get stuck off of LTE and doesn't reconnect. The only way I know how to fix it is turning airplane mode on and off a few times or restarting my phone. It's not unbearable but it's annoying especially living in New England where service isn't the best so I am constantly changing connection and that is when it seems to act up. Either that or maybe when connecting and disconnecting to WiFi. Not totally sure

I was thinking maybe changing this preferred network type may fix this issue... Am I on to something perhaps?

Right now my phone is on "LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)"

Anyone have a suggestion?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] Antretng:
Hello. I have noticed that my mi5s has some lag while playing asphalt 8 even at medium settings. After doing some benchmarks with 3DMark I realized that there is a drop in performance at relatively low temperature.

At "Ice storm unlimited" I have a score around 30,000 when the cpu is cool. However when I hit a 36 degrees of Celsius I am around 27,400. Furthermore, if the temperature increase at 39 Celsius , the performance drops even more and 23,500. This gets even worse when I hit 40+ Celsius where the score drops under 20,000 and if I semi-covered it with a cloth to reach higher temp it gets around 16,600 at 45 degrees of Celsius. After that it need to cool down to 33 degrees of Celcius to restore its performance

Needless to say that these temperatures are very easy to reach when you are playing a game. Has anyone noticed something similar? Any suggestions?

I have the 3/64 version with the 7.7.20 developers. Same issues were faced with the 7.7.6. . I have not tested in depth with the global rom but I think I had similar issues (it was only for a day). The room temperature is around 30 degrees of Celsius.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] abirftw:
If you're okay with the high temperatures then you could disable all the CPU thermal throttles from any kernel manager app, though you need to be rooted.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] Antretng:
I was thinking something similar but I do not want to disable it fully but just increasing the threshold by 2 or 3 degrees of Celcius. I am rooted but I am not sure how I can do the modification. From some quick search that I have done there should be a file named thermal-mplampla.conf (I do not remember the exact name) where you can modify it but I am not sure by how much should I change the respective lines for just a 2 or 3 degrees increase.

Anyone that have been playing around with thresholds and have any tips or guide before messing around?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] crzykiller:
First of all, that isn't the CPU temperature but the battery temperature. This phone actually has fantastic thermals due to its aluminum back and well placed SOC. No wonder you're getting throttling, you live in 30°C and you're playing games, what do you expect? Every phone on the face of the earth will throttle to that level. Just saying, your CPU is running probably around 70-80°C while playing intense games. So if you continue to play, it will eventually heat up the rest of the phone.

40°C destroys a batteries lifetime and 45°C everyday will reduce your battery within half a year which is why they throttle phones. Hell my One plus 3 in 30°C weather will throttle like crazy and that's the best phone in terms of throttling. Its normal. Stop playing crappy games like Asphalt 8 in 30°C and go enjoy the sunny weather instead.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] Antretng:
Actually the truth is somewhere in the middle. I have used an app called "cpu temperature" but if I check the battery temperature it shows exactly the same degrees. So I guess it mistakenly shows the temperature of the battery. Do you have a more reliable app to check cpu temp?

On the other hand, 30 degrees of Celcius is not that high. In the winter usually we do not let the room temperature drop under 20 degrees since we use heating. Nevertheless, I will let it as it is for now and check again after 5 or 6 weeks where the temperature should be cooler.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] crzykiller:
You need a rooted phone to see actual CPU temperature. The best way to do this is get an app called simple system monitor (blue app icon) and go in temperature zones and you'll find a bunch of sensors there. There's a bunch of them that are for the CPU and you kinda have to figure it out yourself (I don't know exactly which one it is, one of the tz_sensor ones) by running a CPU benchmark and finding the ones that show the highest temperature. If you were to remove thermal throttling, and maxed out the CPU and GPU, you will see your CPU hit around 100-110°C and your phones gonna shut down for protection. And I'm in Canada so 30°C is extremely high haha.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Mateus109:
Not sure if this is a ROM bug or just a general problem with the Pro 3 X720 but I find in-call volume is very quiet. Even with the volume on max, calls are often difficult to hear. (I'm running latest OmniRom)

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] trizex:
While in-call, switch to speakerphone, then turn it off (the speakerphone). It'll be much better now, the adjustment of in call volumr will work. It keeps on working until you reboot the phone.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Mateus109:

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Lorehaze:
Hi, i've sony xperia xz premium and i want to flash a generic italian firmware. It's my first time in flashing a sony device and i searched a lot in internet, but i found nothing. I'm on locked bootloader, any help please?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ninjy:
You need flashtool to flash Sony devices. www.flashtool.net

But, it is not yet compatible with XZP.

There is another tool but no one know the safety of it so better wait.

Btw, you don't need to unlock the bootloader to flash official roms from other regions.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Lorehaze:
thank you man. I was reading about a file which is needed to use XZP with flashtool.

And, What about Xperia companion, SEUS and Emma? Are them good to de-brand?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ninjy:
Don't know those 2 other tools.

Personnaly I used on old version of that unsafe tool found on another thread here to unbrand, then to sleep well I did a software recovery using official Xperia companion.

Maybe it is total useless but who knows :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Lorehaze:
how to use this unsafe tool?

EDIT: for those who were lookin' for a solution, i used this unsafe tool: i just downloaded custom it firmware from xperiafirm, i pasted all the files (except all .ta files) in the same directory of the tool and i executed it. Now i'm restoring with xperia companion. All good! Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] laes443:
Would there be any advantage with using a generic firmware for the same region, versus the carrier specific one?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Jake_09:
So, does unlocking the bootloader and rooting cause you to stop getting OTA updates like on most phones?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] cheetah2k:
I feel your pain. You need newflasher and to follow the tutorial here

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72958788&postcount=16

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ninjy:
You don't have carrier bloatwares, but most of all, usually custom fw are released sooner because they don't need carriers approvals.

Don't remember about the bootloader but rooting it most probably make it fail to update.

Can't confirm, I usually flash new firm when they are released and don't wait for OTA stuff. :D

But the most annoying with Xperia phones since Z series, they have a "TA" partition, that contains DRM keys. They are used to unlock features like Bravia engine, special sound processing, ... And it seems also some camera features on XZP.

And when you unlock the bootloader, it wipes this partition and you lose your keys forever.

On Z5 there were two solution for this problem:

- Wait for a security breach that allow rooting Android, and gives you the hability to backup this partition. Then you can restore it after unlocked bootloader.

- Some people modded kernels to fake the presence of DRM keys.

In my opinion, for bootloader unlocking, wait that XZ1 are released (since they probably will have same specs as XZP) and more people getting involved to see what happens. Losing keys = losing Sony specific features you paid for.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Lorehaze:
By doing this, u won't lose any DRM key: obviously u need to remove all *.ta files (same from boot directory) in which those keys are contained.

I successfully flashed generic firmware over customized carrier firmware and in support app i got the same warranty message. No unlock no drm lost :)

[MENTION=2649288]Jake_09[/MENTION] yes, carriers are often slowers in releasing firmware (i'm speaking about TIM carrier for Italy), in fact the rom which i found when i bought my phone was updated at april security patches. Now i got the last no brand update. I did the same as [MENTION=3436191]ninjy[/MENTION] with xperia companion after newflasher. Hope it helps! :)

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] FartyParty:
Heh, thanks for spreading my links :3.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pawnstar:
Why we can't use flashtool? Maybe an old flashtool version can be used? :o I do not trust newflasher since virustotal reports it as a malware https://www.virustotal.com/sr/file/...57fcac8e88f48e8ab00a1cc61c9081d8f47/analysis/ :eek:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] laes443:
That looks like a false positive since it's only 2-3 different AVs (at most) that are detecting it.

I'm going to flash to an unbranded/generic FW tonight and see how it goes!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] laes443:
Thanks man. Just a quick question - There's a *.ta file in the BOOT folder of the generic FW I downloaded, I definitely DON'T want to paste this as well correct?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Lorehaze:
sure man, exclude all *.ta files, do the same for the files in boot folder.

Hope It helps :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] laes443:
It all worked out perfectly, just did a restore in Xperia Companion and now it's back using the generic FW, thanks :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] svssolutions:
This doesnt mess with the bootloader or do anything to kill the DRM keys for the bravia engines?

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Cheers for this. I was worries about losing the features of the sony if I flashed a generic rom over the carrier specific one I have.

Not sure if this will do anything to improve the compatability between my car and the phone via bluetooth but worth a try.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] laes443:
This definitely didn't touch DRM at all. Just make sure you definitely don't use any of the *.TA files at all, even the one in the BOOT folder. I can still adjust my screen colour settings and they definitely work, sound settings, etc. Works great :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] FartyParty:
Whats this talk about excluding .ta files? I just drop newflasher in fw folder and flash, works like a charm everytime.

What benefit do you get for excluding .ta?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Lorehaze:
in .ta files drm keys are contained
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pawnstar:
Boot folder contain bootloader and bootloader configuration file, you need to flash configuration file too! I think all the rest of the ta files must be flashed too. You can exclude fota reset and some if you no want to wipe userdata :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] DocLM:
No, DRM Keys are in TA partition. Ta files contained in firmware file not erase the part with keys.

On my XZP TIM brand I flashed all files except simlock.ta and everything work fine.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] munjeni:
Thats right! Do not skipp esential .ta files like bootloader config and etc, thats nonsense!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Heinous:
I am tired of waiting for the OTA and want to flash the update. Which, if any, files should I exclude to prevent resetting or erasing my user data?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Heinous:

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] schickel:
In this thread you can found many information about it.

And from page 44 onwards there is a big discussion about your question. Read it carefully and than make your decission what you want do.

I've make a clean flash knowing to install all apps again and set up my device again. But I'm now on a Customized DE ROM and no longer on Vodafone ROM. Clean flash is always better as a dirty flash if the base is changed - that's my opinion and my exclusive opinion. Make your own choice :)

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] IS33D34DP30PL3:
can you relock your bootloader?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Heinous:
Thanks. I'd describe that as "inconclusive." Anyway, I tried omitting a few files and ended up with the undecryptable data issue again so I just did a repair with PC Companion. I'd still like to know how to flash just an update without having to reset all my data.

Ive been using xposed on my rooted g2 for the past two years and my phone finally died. Can anyone recomend a recent flagship where xposed works without issue. I was thinking the s7 edge but i read somehwhere that samsung phones have issues with xposed?
[Xposed General] riahc3:
Officially none. All flagships are now shipping with Nougat which is OFFICIALLY incompatible.

HOWEVER a week ago, someone was able to make a hacked UNOFFICIAL version of Xposed that runs on Nougat. Modules are working but since it isn't official, there are modules that won't work and probably will not be updated until a official version comes out.

If anyone that bricked or is willing to hard brick his H815 and DID NOT USE any emmc_firehose in QFIL is around PM ME for some sdcard unbrick testing (I can't try this anymore since I converted my device)
[G4 General] neutrondev:
Methods tried to revive the device:

I hardbricked my device by messing with the IMEI and I had no LAF since I deleted for fastboot access and I had a custom ROM. Seems if you mess with your IMEI you will lose unlocked bootloader. I had secure error.

I used TP to get to QDL 9008 and flashed the files on the internet, that converted my device to LS991. This is in short what happens if you use that programmer.

I have a MEDUSA PRO and I repaired with EMMC Direct. This will NOT work if you ever used the emmc_firehose.

I can now run only LS991 firmware but without Mobile Signal.
[G4 General] neutrondev:
How to get a working phone (without mobile network) if you used emmc_firehose for LS991

WARNING!!! DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU DID NOT USE THE EMMC_FIREHOSE!!!
[G4 General] neutrondev:
What methods might work to revive the H815:

1. SDCard method.

2. Direct EMMC repair with BOX.

What methods will mess up your device more than it is:

1. Using the emmc_firehose that is running wild on the internet (that method is only good for LS991 -> LG G4 Sprint for USA)
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
I found the same. There are dozens of firehose programmers but either they are just a duplicate or it is ls991 which is then only one working. Can you explain what will happen with active qfuse or what does it means exactly?

.
[G4 General] neutrondev:
I bought a Medusa to try EMMC Direct it turns out it is not working. I don't know if it is becuase I used the LS991 firehose or it is just not working. My theory is that LS991 has Qfuses (for firmware you flash). The programmer is Qfuse V1 at least (ZVA firmware). If you try to flash for H815 (even if it flashes right), I think this is Qfuse V0, so qfuse is not active. I don't know. I am really confused right now because BOX is not working with EMMC Direct. I am curious about someone using Medusa Box without trying that LS991 firehose programmer. I managed to boot the phone fully but on LS991 firmware. :(

If my theory is right and that programmer indeed burns the fuses in the CPU we are ****ed. To return to H815 we need new CPU.

EDIT: I am actually confused maybe the Qfuses are in the EMMC not CPU and EMMC swap will help. [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] Any idea where the Qfuses are in the LG G4 USA version? LS991
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
Im able to flash and boot anything I want. On my bootloader locked device!! There are special steps to take which I currently trying to filter out of my thousands tests and if you like let's talk on IRC about this. Being there in about 8-9 hours again..

Is there any way to check / proof what has happened when using ls991 programmer? Anything which can be done with qpst or other tools to check that? I'm quite new in that qcom area..

Do you still have your imei and WiFi mac when booting the ls991 image ?

.
[G4 General] neutrondev:
You are using the LS991 images on GSMHosting but you are using dd to copy them no? You are not using Qfil programmer?
[G4 General] TheMadScientist:
So I believe zv4 and zv5 are qfuse ver 0 zv6-zva are vers 1 zvb-c i believe are ver 2 zvd-zvg are ver3

just from which firmwares can be downgraded to which I know pretty good

.
[G4 General] TheMadScientist:
lg g2 and g3 good place to start on qcom flashable with boarddiag. and lg firmware extractor.

which is the start to extract kdz and tots alike. once u extract to .dz u can make partition bins and imgs.

im trying to make a boot image for my g5 so i can try to fix it from sd card possibly.

Also[mention=5402146]neutrondev[/mention] Is there any way you know how to make a partition.txt Ive been trying to figure it out to try some attempts in board diag.
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
No. I extracted all my image files directly from the kdz.

Yes I used qfil with ls991 emmc_appsboot.mbn etc.

No I used kdztools to extract all my image files. I love to do all I can in Linux.. ;)

I just started with qfil, qpst etc 1 week ago so I'm very new and noob in this area. I didn't found any good explanations I just try and error.

Good luck with the sdcard boot. I tried several images found and I tried to do the same on my own. There is a very very huge guide how to create partitions.txt by [MENTION=7006025]BigCountry907[/MENTION]. He has made a excel sheet which doing many of the magic around to get it. But it doesn't worked for me. A crucial thing is that you really need a FAST sdcard. Class10 only is not enough but that's all described in his guide..

My idea was to create a sdcard with the files taken from the firehose zip to avoid flashing with qfil. That's one of the next steps I will take.

.

.
[G4 General] neutrondev:
Yes problem is that those ls 991 files are flashing zva so qfuse is version 1 so if this is true you can't have an lg h815 anymore you need new CPU because from what I know the Qfuses are within the CPU in TrustZone.
[G4 General] TheMadScientist:
Im still new to qfil been readin a lot here lately. but qpst and cdma workshop i have been using for years now it seems. btw thanks for that.

lol I got sds class 10 32 gb evo and a 128 gb evo.

Only issue I is the 32 gb. u need one what at least 32 gb as most g4s and g5s are 32 gb models.

Now here my theory issue the sd when formatted is only 29.9 So in theory that wouldn't work rite?

I know when the g4 and 5 are up and running and all is good it has roughly the same.

as for the firehose im hoping I can cob something up cause I use some 8994 .dlls for lgup and g5 im lgup so im kinda hoping again I can cob something together
[G4 General] neutrondev:
There is no firehose for G5. Nothing will help you without the mbn firehose (only Boxes will). But let's stay on G4 because this is what this topic is about.
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
correct the 32GB sized card is not enough you need definitely a bigger one or the other option is to fix the partition table manually because the device will reject an invalid GPT silently
