[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] Charismagic:
I have been extremely pissed off with my purchase of the zuk and its update to 2.5 and the bugs. Got so bad that I couldnt even use it....now this offers a glimmer of hope. Nitin, you used QFIL to flash the chinese update? and then changed the language to English?

Thanks for the vid, but couldnt make out most of it. Too much of a distance from the screen for me to really make out what files you selected ( Or is it my eyesight?)

Audio would also help a lot.....I was thinking of flashing another ROM, but would like to stick around and play with the original one for some time.

Any inputs, steps on a note pad on what you did, audio....anything would help. Could I trouble you for this?

Thanks in advance!

He's using qfil software for flashing Chinese zui 2.5.412 st , you can download needed files from the description of his YouTube videos & you can learn how to use qfil separately , if you are going to do this you can message me i have better solution !

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Neverendingxsin:
Asking here because I'm looking into getting the XL in the next couple days and am torn between the two storage sizes. On my 6P I opted for 64gb and it's enough for my use but with the pixel there is no 64gb option.

My use is offline Spotify music, taking pictures (auto upload to Google), basic apps (root stuff, banking, etc) no games, watching YouTube, twitch, etc. I don't save movies on my phone to watch as I have a tablet for that. So I'm thinking I could get by with 32gb as 128gb would be way too much.

The other thing to consider is I plan on getting the pixel XL 2 come holiday season and am getting the pixel XL because my 6P is being refunded for battery issues and price wise would be a 1 for 1 swap. However I'm curious for those that opted for 32gb, has it held up well for you after almost a year of owning the device or is it truly not enough?

Thanks :)

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JacquesR:
I'm perfectly happy with my 32Gb, and currently have 20Gb free. I have 130 apps installed, but no games, and I make sure to delete photos regularly. No movies and limited music (just a couple of Google Music playlists) saved, and otherwise the only thing that takes up significant space is podcasts. Unless you save a lot of media (and it doesn't sound like you plan to) to the device, it sounds to me like you should be okay with 32Gb.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Neverendingxsin:
Thanks for the response, it's helpful that we appear to have very similar usage. :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] crazykas:
i was a OP3 user before so i used to have 64GB mem..I had the same doubt about moving to pixel 32gb but i would like to say im not..Im happy with 32GB memory...There is plenty of space unless you are a TV series guy...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Neverendingxsin:
I am big into TV series but between my tablet, MacBook air and Nintendo switch, I'm plenty covered for traveling lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coolhandz:
I was worried to only get the 32gb model, but since you get free unlimited storage for pictures it makes it super easy to get by. I really only listen to Google play music and YouTube red. I also have a few games, but i delete them as i get bored or beat them. I also download movies, but i usually transfer them to my surface pro when i want to watch them. I have ran out of storage before, but i was downloading custom ROMs and factory images which i was going to transfer anyway. I think for your use that 32gb would be plenty.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 3aucla1r3:
So, if you download say 3000 Spotify songs to use offline and you use normal not high quality download, that's less than 10 GB it turns out. All my other stuff is only about 12 GB. There's 29 GB that you can use out of the 32 so that still leaves me 7 just sitting there. Everything is so cloud oriented (google photos-don't need to keep photos on the device) that I really don't need that much space. Even the music doesn't have to be downloaded cause I have unlimited data on Verizon. So, 32 is fine for me. I can see where it wouldn't be enough for some people though.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] shamelin73:
I got the 128 but don't even have 20GB on my device. Should have saved the cabbage and got the 32Gb
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
32gb ain't what it used to be. Even using the cloud I'm still using 56gb on my 128gb model.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CZ Eddie:
Yes, I regret it.

32GB just isn't as big as it used to be.

Not with pics and videos that are twice the size they used to be.

Same for some apps.

32GB used to be premium and now it's like how 16GB used to feel.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Neverendingxsin:
Thanks for the input guys, I decided to go with 32gb because 128 I know is way too much and I'm pretty sure I can make 32gb work with my uses.

Also since I'm considering selling it once the pixel 2 goes live, I don't want to have too much money committed to it. Getting the 32gb XL only cost me $20 out of pocket due to the refund on my 6P.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
I'm using 41G of my 128G. A lot of that is Spotify and personal offline music because I don't stream anything. I'm on Project Fi which gives you no data. I could get by with less stored music but when you have a phone where you use most of the storage it can become a serious pain. Sometimes apps won't update unless you delete stuff or OTA updates will fail. Having gone through that before I would much rather have too much storage than not enough.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jerryhou85:
Nowadays, a 16G is not enough, but I find 32G is quite sufficient. Definitely pictures and files should be regularly moved after uploading to cloud. :P
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Neverendingxsin:
I can feel you on that, if they had 64gb that would be perfect but $100 for 128gb is a stretch sadly. I'm pretty sure I can make it work as I only have a few hundred songs downloaded and probably wouldn't even make it to the 1000 mark for a while. I'm banking on my use not changing lol.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
I've had my 32 GB XL since the day it was released. I've had no issues with space. Every so often I will do a complete wipe as there are some orphan files that don't seem to go away without a full wipe. I change ROM's often so a full wipe every once in a while helps with space.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Neverendingxsin:
Is using ROMs worthwhile on the pixel? On my 6p I've been stock rooted just for adaway and a few other root apps and that's worked really well for me, I was huge into rooting on my Nexus 5.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
It depends. I'm a crack flasher so I'm always trying different ROMS. I have found the stock DP4 release of O has curbed my crack flashing. It is very stable, fast and sips battery. Now that we have root for DP4, I'm happy for now :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Neverendingxsin:
I used to be a crack flasher from my OG Droid all the way to the early days with the 6P, then life got busy and I settled with stock rooted and maybe a nice kernel lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
Except for lossless, no.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zelch:
So, I'm on the 128GB unit, and I'm really happy that I did.

My usage case is fairly straight forward, email, taking pictures, reading books. Not a lot else.

I am using 44.7 GB right now, and the break down is:

8.93 GB in apps. (Huh, this is a bit high.)

24.84 GB in images. (Yes, I upload, but I like to be able to go through them even when I don't have a great network connection.)

6.79 GB in System (Keep this in mind when you run the numbers.)

1.55 GB in Other (probably books)

2.59 GB in Cached data.

I could get away with a 32GB unit if I wanted to delete pictures off the phone on a regular basis. But I find this really really nice.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Amritttt:
I got 128 gb and 79gb still free lot of space available i wish there was 64gb option.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eduardmc:
128gb. Will not get another 32gb version of any phone. Overtime with all data and app cache it will be less and less. The best feeling in the word is not worrying about storage memory. Also having root doing a titanium back and doing twrp image backup is already 15-20gb there. Having only 32gb u will be force to rely on cloud or/and save it in ur computer.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] awakenedwithin:
I used to regret it since I'm used to adding external storage.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] springy:
It depends on your usage.

I came from a Nexus 5 (to Pixel non XL) and 16GB was enough for me.

I am using 12GB (5GB reserved for system) so overall 7GB.

I have music from play music (which I switch out every two weeks) and some video podcast. I have around 120 apps installed. Also I enable Google Photos backup (and Dropbox) so I do wipe photos of my phone.

I like to keep my device clean so maybe that's why I always have a lot is space.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jamgam:
My pictures/videos auto upload to smugmug and I use google play music so I've got 15G free on my 32G phone right now. Also no games either
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] scotbotmosh:
There was no way only 32Gb would work for me. Especially for having music downloaded and ready to go at all times.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eleazar123:
I regret getting 32gb every freaking day. I constantly have to have google photos clear my device to get more usable space. If you record video in 4k, it fills up ridiculously fast. Even on a fresh install, you're lucky to have 20some gigabytes usable.

I am definitely getting the larger Pixel XL2
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Neverendingxsin:
Thank you guys for all the opinions :)

I just got my 32gb setup, all my music downloaded, apps and everything else, and I'm sitting at 20.5gb free. I think at least for now I can make it work as long I actually clean out pictures and things lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] chazall1:
That is similar to my use. No issues with extra storage. I keep 2 TWRP backups and have more than enough space.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bama17:
I really wanted the 128GB bad, but didn't care to wait for it to become available, so I was able to get my 32GB on launch day and it's held up great. I have an external HDD connected to my Asus router that I configured as a ftp server that I use as my "SD card". Has worked out pretty well for me and haven't gotten to a point to where I've had to ever worry about space. So I can't say I really regret it at all since I didn't have to wait 2 extra months to get it :good:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Ammonarrow:
I dont regret, except for the waiting time here in germany.

So in addition to these I've also discovered a further three issues:-

6. WhatsApp camera not working - you can take a photo within WhatsApp but it doesn't progress to the launch screen to the next screen to send the photo. Strangely, video clips do seem to work...

7. Bluetooth headset doesn't seem to be working anymore

8. Sky Sports App once you get past permissions and everything to watch the show it freezes on the loading step. I imagine this is something to do with the modified ROM/Kernel?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] bestfootie:
9. I'll also add in here that call volume and volume in general seem really low.

As a result of these nine bugs I'm going to have to revert back to an older version, quite possibly Stock Android, unfortunately... :crying:

He is updating his kernel, just not updating his thread.

That is because XDA rules states that OP is supposed to have direct download links & not links to an external website. Hence he decided to lock the thread & provide updates on his website.

[Windows 10 Mobile] AWasisto:
You might wanna extract separate partition images from the ffu then edit the MainOS image but you can't repack them into a new ffu. You can only repack those images into a flashable zip file. If you're not in hurry, I can write a full tutorial next week if you need one. Otherwise, you can experiment yourself with Interop Tools, OSFMount and Total Commander. Just be very, very careful cause you might turn your device into a brick
[Windows 10 Mobile] dxdy:
easier is to remove apps with CU or Interop tools....
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
I second dxdy.

Ya Interop tools and sftp or Full MTP access is what I use.

Go to C:\PROGRAMS\COMMONFILES\XAPS

Remove what you do not want. But be careful not to remove stuff you may need later, like wallet or other foundation apps. Also if you Hard reset they will be gone next time around. Secondly I have found some OEMs use another folder I think under C:\PROGRAMS\COMMONFILES\OEM\PreinstalledAPPS or something C:\PROGRAMS\COMMONFILES\OEM\Preinstalled......

The main folder is the XAPS folder though, that gets used during OOBE provisioning.

Hi

Is there any online info how to deploy a "Checkin( out" System for Travel?

The Client (Traveller) will get an RFID Card with a Processor Inside for Secure Authentication (like the Modern Credit cards).

When the Client book a Journey his Information will be stored on the Server. Every Valid Booking will be transfer from the Server in the APP. At the first Time the Card get Scanned the must secure Authenticate like a challenge and Response System and a Token who is valide for a short period of time must place on the Card. The must be a variable Validation when the Journey end the next device who interact with the Card must delete the Token if there is any available.

Every time when someone leave the Group/ Area/... the have to Checkout and when the come back and or Board the Bus for example the have to check-in with there Token.

What realy is important the information who are check in and and must be transfer over wifi between the hole Android Device so when someone change the Bus (like a School class) everyone must know where someone is.

Any idea how to start?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] tushxda:
Hi,

I got a new OP3T, I wanted to root the phone and install custom ROM on it. After searching on internet I came to know the device has dm-verity feature which may cause issue once I flash custom recovery.

I wonder if I install TWRP, and supersu/root but skip dm-verity and keep the phone encrypted will this action prevent me to boot into system (note that I'm currently on Oxygen OS 4.1.6) ?

Thanks.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Didgeridoohan:
Most custom ROMs/kernels and root solutions will disable dm-verity and forced encryption. You can still keep your device encrypted even though the forced encryption have been disabled.

I have enabled the 4-digit PIN lock on my Wizard, set for 1-hour of inactivity. This works fine when there are no active calls. However if I get a call and answer, then following hangup the screen is locked with the Device Lock (i.e. click 'Unlock' on the bottom left of screen etc) when I click 'unlock' I get prompted for the 4-digit PIN instead of just the 'Tap "UnLock" or press "*"'. This doesn't make the ROM unusable, just a little annoying.

I am running a ROM based on TNT 1933, I have Battery Status 1.04.203 beta4 with Device Lock on wakeup enabled.

https://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015/orig-development/twrp-moto-e-2015-recovery-t3049726

TWRP successfully boots. When rebooting it asks if I want to install SuperSU, I swipe yes. Reboots. Gets stuck at bootloader warning with the phone at about 35-40 degrees Celsius. I've left it for 30 minutes even which most forums say it should only take 5-10 minutes for the first startup so I assume I'm softblocked. I was able to restore to stock and retry but same result. I would really appreciate any advice you have for me.

Model is a Moto E (2nd gen) 4G LTE with Marshmallow (6.0) installed.

The root process went well when I used a 5.1.1 stock ROM. I figured that the reason that in future versions of TWRP they remove the install SuperSU option if system is 6.0 is because it doesn't work with the TWRP installer. Also, this may sound stupid, but I have no idea how to load it onto a memory partition so it can flash xD. I'm a noob after all.

Flash the doll back package using dload

Boot up

Flash the marshmallow firmware

Done
