[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bounddyy:
I had the explosive note, the new iPhone 7+ when it came out and the S7 Edge . The Google Pixel Camera is far the best and on top of that, the Pixel has not crashed once on me yet. The Samsung devices are bloated and laggy after a week yet my pixel stands in perfect condition and I had the worst experience with the iPhone got it replaced twice in 3 weeks and had crashes with bad battery life. I was worried about storage too and I got the 128 GB but all the photos I take get backed up and I still have 80GB+ left. Sure it's not water proof but how often do you swim with your phone? IF you need to take your phone in a dive you should get a water proof pouch anyways or it might just slip away. I have dropped it in water, in fact I took it on a jetski and water got in the pouch but the phone was fine. For the TV compatibility that really depends on you, I have wifi at home so I have no issues.

To sum it up you won't get the silky smooth performance like the pixel on another phone, the correct colors (Samsung saturation crap) and unlimited photo/vid storage. One of the key points was google photos for me since I take photos on a DSLR too and just transfer and upload.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Rajaasim1980:
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I understand your smooth software experience with pixel . I actually never felt any lag with previous devices .. may be because i am not into gaming/heavy tasks and also rooted s7 edge and removed bloatware . I think touchwiz is getting better ..I was quiet happy with s7 edge except still photography as day lights photos was overexposed and that was the reason of purchasing Pixel . I thought it will support basic stuff like screen mirroring .. they have cast button but i guess it only support chromecast . Is there any way to connect mobile with Chromecast without Wifi. I mean i have unlimited internet on my phone and 30 gb can be used as hotspot? or if rooting and installing any custom ROm will support mira casting?

Secondly Is not google unlimited photo and videos only valid if you taken them with Pixel? Is not google free high quality already enough for 12 MP still photography? I honestly dont understand the hype about camera of Pixel when its exactly the same as those of nexus 5x/6P. I dont see the reason why someone who own 6p should upgrade to very expensive pixel XL. look at these same photo comparison which i have taken from old nexus 5x and pixel XL

I don't play games on my phone and i notice a lot of hiccups. They may seem small but can be very annoying when apps crash and your phone gets hot over stupid tiny things, there's also the s**t Samsung multitasking, i don't know if they've improved it but when I had it if you ran 3 apps and tried to switch back to the first one you it would restart it to conserve RAM. The software was horribly optimized and I have heard S8 followed it in the steps. I do enjoy Googles fast updates, I hated waiting months for carriers to give android updates. Aside from that I honestly don't know anything about Mira cast and I've never had issues with casting I've used my laptop to stream to my TV and I like having my phone strain free. Do you not have WiFi at home? Or do you feel limited to the apps for chrome cast? Every video streaming app that I have except Amazon Video :eek: has cast. You can use your laptop to stream personal videos on to it too and your phone. I don't know if you need an internet connection for that but you do need a WiFi setup. Also I'm so satisfied with my Pixel it's not even rooted so I wouldn't know any ROMs.

Those photos are very different I want you to look at the shadows, the cracks, the blur shown on smaller sharper objects. You'll notice a lot more depth or dynamic range. I'm not a professional photographer but an average person should notice it. I believe the photos compared are S7 and 6P? You have to realize the price difference between those 2 is quite a lot. Look up more Pixel and S7/S8 photo comparisons and you'll see the differences. One thing you should try out on the pixel is capturing video, try something drastic like a bumpy ride and record 4K and see the magical software do its thing. Lastly, all photos/videos uploaded from your Google Pixel are uploaded at original resolution and that's why I record everything in 4K and the USB adapter that came in box is awesome to transfer files and upload them from an external device.

These are some of the things I've noticed and you don't need to upgrade really, the 6P is quite quick still and if you want a cheaper phone with crazy performance try the One Plus. They're some of the craziest quickest phones ever.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ithehappy:
Depends on how much you bought yours for, for me, I paid 67000 INR for it, and no, no phone is worth that money, not even Pixel. But being a Samsung user for the better part of my android life I am never gonna buy anything other than Stock android, so Pixel it is. Best camera, best software, what more do you need in a phone? **** all those gimmicky Samsung looks (though Pixel's bezels are huge and should be shrunken on next version) when paired with garbage software. Android still is not iOS in terms of optimisation, and bloated garbage laggy crappy skinned iterations just make it even worse.

Am I happy with mine? Yes. Completely? No. Why? Because my Pixel always had this random freezing issue (and I am on my fourth XL, all of them had it), and I absolutely hate that. With that issue being completely gone this is the best android phone I have ever used, even with the issue is.

If you plan to resell it then do it now when Pixel 2 is still more than two months away, otherwise stick with it for another year. What other phone is there which I might recommend instead? Nothing! Like I said, best camera, best software, I don't think there could be a more important combo to factor in, but Pixel's price should be around 500-600 USD or something. In any case over my dead body I am ever gonna go back to them Samsungs, or try some LG or something.

While flashing my nexus 5 my signature verification failed. And i am unable to flash it with lineage os 14.1 :confused:
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ibuprophen:
I assume that your using TWRP...

Within the TWRP Settings, there's a box called "Zip signature verification" that you need to uncheck.

You should be good to go from there.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fierogt42:
LG G2 VS980 (Verizon). Rooting works fine on both versions. TWRP Manager gives a white error screen with the demigod handler, and AutoRec all gives a "security error" LG logo with bootloop on 3aa.

I tried downgrading to 39A and again can root, but trying to flash TWRP gives problems.

AutoRec (lollipop version) does nothing when I click the "Flash TWRP" image inside the app. It says it's done loading and backing things up, ok to flash now. Restore stock show toast messages like it's doing something. Just won't do TWRP.

Manually flashing TWRP 2.8.whatever also results in the same "Security Error" LG logo bootloop.

Does anyone have an up to date working method? Thanks!
[Remix OS for PC] WaseemAlkurdi:
Dear RemixOS users,

As the title says, I had just installed RemixOS, and opened my File Manager, and to my bewilderment, I did NOT have my HDD partitions, contrary to online claims that HDD partitions automatically mount. StickMount does nothing either.

Oddly, I saw an unknown USB drive under Storage and USB in Settings.

I thought, "That's my internal HDD over there!".

The drive was formatted as " Unknown".

I clicked it, which made me choose "Portable Storage", followed by "Next".

Big mistake.

Began (and stopped for 3-8 sec) at 20% and I saw a toast saying "Error n, command not supported", where n is some number 1<n<10 and the quoting is not literal.

I carried on browsing, and the machine suddenly froze. Gave no heed and rebooted.

The machine cried about a " No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key".

I am dead. The machine contains 7 voice call recordings of critical importance.

The question is: What kind of format happened? A destructive format or a quick (non-destructive) one?

Is data/partition layout recovery possible?

I have a hybrid MBR.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knirirr:
Does anyone know of any apps which can monitor access to the camera, microphone &c. and create a notification to alert the user that that they are being accessed? Presumably root access would be necessary to also ascertain which app was responsible.

I've found some applications which can block access to the camera and microphone but that's not quite what I'm after; in the case of the microphone at least then access can be controlled by using Privacy Guard on LineageOS. A simple notification would be sufficient.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downloaderfan:
Yes, there is a xposed module known as CameraNotify that displays a notification & turns on LED when camera is being used by an app.

There is another unreleased xposed module, known as MediaIndicator ( https://github.com/CzBiX/media-indicator ) that shows a notification whenever an app uses camera & microphone, but it doesn't work for system apps. Tested on MiUI lollipop 5.1.1.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] zupastef:
Hi,

I have a H873 on Telus in Canada. Some calls go straight to voicemail in some situations:

If,

- In Advanced wifi settings, wifi is "on only when charging" AND

- Phone is locked for at least a minute

Calls go straight to voicemail, even if there are no wifi networks nearby.

If the phone is awake calls go through normally.

If wifi if off, calls go through normally.

I have no VoWiFi settings on my phone.

So far, I have resetted network settings. Didn't work.

I did a factory reset and set up the phone as a new one. Didn't work.

Went in the hidden menus and pu VoWiFi to 0 (default was -1). Didn't work.

Changed the sim card. Didn't work.

I wasn't able to change network. Will try next week.

Network at home does the same thing that the one at work. They are both using Ubiquiti antennas but I am using an open network at the office (I first thought of the the WPA2 channels or encryption method).

I previously had a S7 Edge on the same network with no problem. Had a S8 for a couple of days to test the device. every device worked correctly. Only the G6 does that.

The phone is on the latest security patch (july 2017). Not rooted.

I wonder if it's software related or hardware. Device is unlocked. I will turn off VoLTE, seems like the next logical step.

Any resolution?
[Sony Xperia XZs ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zlRampageSlz:
It includes DRM patch and disabled force encryption.

Because fstab.qcom has been moved to system since 8.0, I cannot modify the boot image.

Some of you guys might have a problem with TWRP encryption password. With stock kernel, /data will be encrypted in a few boots even if you set no password.

About this kernel:

- Working camera (DRM-patch)

- Disabled dm-verity (so we can use magisk)

- Can mount /data in recovery (it means we can install magisk inside /data)

- Pass both safetynet

- You can still encrypt any time

- It will not decrypt your data. In other words, you have to do factory reset (wipe data) if it's already encrypted.

- See encryption status in Setting->Security

How to disable by yourself? - Not for Oreo

Prerequisite:

- 32-bit linux (you can use it on liveboot drive or VM)

It doesn't work on cygwin (windows) because of its native executable. So use linux 32 bit (i386), or 64 bit (amd64) with multiarch.

- Unpack using mkbootimg tool made by xiaolu (I tried kitchen and it won't work)

- Open fstab.qcom

- Replace "forceencrypet" with "encryptable"

- Pack again

- Done!

Thanks tobias.waldvogel and xiaolu for their awesome tools.

In what order to I flash recovery, root and the kernel? (I've never used a kernel before)
[Sony Xperia XZs ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] HellFish23:
Great, but you can just flash twrp-3.0.2-0-kagura.img instead of a newer version and it will work perfectly. For some reason the newer twrps for xz will ask for password to decrypt data

And can you make this for g231?
[Sony Xperia XZs ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zlRampageSlz:
You have to unlock bootloader first before you can flash anything. Then just "fastboot flash boot <thatkernel>.img" in fastboot (blue LED). Recovery and root is optional. Normally, you have to use TWRP recovery to flash zip (su installer).

So, unlock bootloader -> flash kernel -> flash recovery -> install su in TWRP

Also, you can read detailed my tutorial here.
[Sony Xperia XZs ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zlRampageSlz:
When you use 3.0.2-0, does it work while being encrypted? Or you have to do a factory reset to prevent further encryption.

Everything is working fine for the kernel, I no longer get the green photos and I can download Super Mario Run (my go to Safetynet app), but when I try to boot into recovery to flash Magisk all I get is a black screen. I tried flashing another TWRP version and still get a black screen. I'm on the dual sim variant.

Even if this problem can't be fixed, thanks for the kernel!
[Sony Xperia XZs ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zlRampageSlz:
Could you give me TWRP log while installing magisk? Try using uninstaller and wiping cache first. Then flash stock kernel before install magisk again.
[Sony Xperia XZs ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tapperyaus:
The problem wasn't installing magisk, it was that TWRP wasn't installing correctly. Attempting to reach TWRP leads to a black screen. It's easily avoidable by booting the twrp.img through adb/fastboot (then flashing magisk there), I just can't install TWRP onto the phone.
[Sony Xperia XZs ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zlRampageSlz:
Sorry I misunderstood your question, TWRP right now cannot boot in the normal way (from fastboot/adb, or even TWRP itself). You have to hold power+vol down at the same time.

So, I was using LineAgeOS 14.1 for my Xperia SP but it was awful so I switched to this. All went well but the problem is, I think the internal storage is unmounted (or something).

Play Store keeps crashing(tried cache,data clearing, everything). And it didn't include any filemanager.

So, I tried download an apk through Chrome but it shows "No SD Card" everytime.

What I've tried :

Wiping everything

Re-flash the ROM

Mount option in TWRP, but everytime I check the "Data" box and reboot, it reverts back to unchecked

Note :

I can see Internal Storage on my PC(connected with a USB cable) but I cannot copy anything in it

Can see the presence of Internal Storage in "Storage" menu in Settings too
