I'm on AEX 4.4 which doesn't have camera blobs. Should I flash both ZIP files attached in OP?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] adil786ali63:
Just flash the camera blobs... Other one is the modified darkmoon kernel.. U can flash if u want else u can flash heliox or jaguar as per your need
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] owim:
[MENTION=5901373]adil786ali63[/MENTION]

Thanks, I'll flash just the first camera blobs file. If I understand correctly, other ZIP would overwrite AEX stock kernel with DarkMoon kernel.

Stock AEX 4.4 kernel seems to be just fine. However, I never tried any other kernel, not even recommended Heliox August Beta. ;) Next on to do list.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] d3vyarth:
RR is the best custom ROM, please do suggest best built [MENTION=8125374]AnjoVingador[/MENTION]
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] owim:
Let me answer you. There are two ZIPs in OP. I am on clean AEX 4.4, flashed camera blobs and after that Camera gave FC. Then I flashed another ZIP from OP, DarkMoon kernel and Camera started to work again.

So, now I'm on AEX 4.4 with DarkMoon kernel and camera blobs. Frankly, I don't see difference in camera qualty before flashing blobs and after. Pictures are good all the time, like they were good on ZUI.

Hint: Maybe that's because I was on ZUI 2, then QFIL flash ZUI 2.5, then ZUI 3.1, then AEX 4.4 -- maybe I had camera blobs (libs) all the time if they're stored in some "deep partition", that wasn't wiped. Dunno.

So, just wanted to let you know. :)

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jmoricone:
Hello all, ever since I changed my phone to OP5 I've noticed my voicemail goes to my carrier (AT&T) and not Google Voice. I've never had a Google # and only used the app to receive voicemail (free visual VM app). I've gone through all the online options to set up GV from Google's website but I've noticed the option under legacy GV to "active VM on this device" is no longer listed.

Is it my phone or has the app changed? Any help to get GV to work again would be great. If this is no longer a feature of GV unless you have a Google #, then any suggestion on an alternative visual VM would be appreciated.

Thanks
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jmoricone:
Ok so it appears not to be my phone but the app itself

Does anyone know why my carrier VM is getting messages and not GV?

MODEL:SM-G950F.

Will this prevent me form receiving future OTAs? I have lots of experience of rooting because I flashed custom recovery and installed TWRP on all of my previous phones. Also I dont know any other way of rooting my S8 and I wanted to change my CSC to America because they get earlier updates like Bixby Voice is this possible becasue the S8 in America are Snapdragon 820 series.

Sorry for my bad spelling Im only 11 years old.

Did anyone else notice that the 'detect USB device' option is missing inside the USB connectivity settings on the Sony Xperia XZ premium?

Does this mean that USB devices are detected automatically when plugging them into the USB-C port of the phone?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Ddub7:
XZP No usb detection?

Doesn't seem to auto detect. I would like to hook up my external dac to my new XZP but that's not an option! Anyone know of another way to get it to detect an external USB device? Not sure how usb-c works, if it doesn't have the same capabilities as micro USB, if the software needs to catch up with the new tech or if just won't ever work?

Currently my phone is running android version 6.0.1 but I've seen that there is a newer version and I would love to install it on my phone but the notification that is popping up every day is nog working.

Hope somebody can help me.. Im really bad at this kinda things. :eek:
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] megatron_lives:
Do you have TWRP installed as a custom recovery? If so I understand your need to flash the default recovery img or updating from the phone will fail on reboot.

Check our autoprime's all in one guide that might help you troubleshoot and restore your phone to MM or N
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] rmeijer18:
Is there a way to check what custom recovery I've installed? It's been a while since I rooted my phone..
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] megatron_lives:
Turn off the phone or remove the battery. Then, hold down the volume down button and then the power button. Keep them both held till you see the LG logo, then release the power button and briefly press and hold the power button again. If successful you should see a white, factory restore menu. Use the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select yes on both the two screens. NB if you do not have a custom recovery this will factory restore your phone-so make a backup. If you do have a custom recovery, it should boot up e.g TWRP

From here you can flash the default boot loader img and then update ota
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] rmeijer18:
When I restart my phone and use those keys my phone is booting into the white screen where I can go into factory restore.. Do I need to install a custom recovery first?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] megatron_lives:
Once in the white screen, to see if you do have a custom recovery installed, you need to select yes on both screens to enter the custom recovery. As I said before, if you do not have a custom recovery (such as TWRP) you will factory reset your phone and lose all settings so make backups first.

Before all that though, how did you root and into it your phone- that will give me an idea as to if you have a custom recovery installed
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] rmeijer18:
I've been using the bootloader unlock from this link
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] megatron_lives:
So you most likely flashed TWRP if you followed the instructions verbatim. How did in root?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] rmeijer18:
Flashed the SuperSU with TWRP, it's down below at the tutorial page.

Now I only need to know what I need for the stock recovery and how I can update my phone
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] megatron_lives:
For the stock recovery, I have 6.01 10E stock recovery here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3j5Gs11w3EqVzNwa0h3b2tVWmc/view?usp=drivesdk

Hopefully that should work. If not, you can extract the recovery image from the full zips on autoprime's all in one LG g5 post.

[Chromebooks] porscheoscar:
Just picked up the Samsung Chromebook Pro. I have the LG V20. Im digging both but all my media is on my phone because I have a 256GB SD card for all my YouTube downloads.

Is there any way to cast video from the phone to the Chromebook when the Chromebook is offline. Upgrading to Nougat on the V20 means FoxFi is history. Bummer.
[Chromebooks] watmay1:
Offline Casting

Casting to an offline Chromebook is not possible because casting is screen sharing over an internet connection. However you might be able to use a wired transmission using the Chromebook as a monitor.
