Thank you. Thats all i needed to know. Guess mine isnt running.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gadianton:
Does anyone know if you need to rerun this after upgrading to magisk 14?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] shadavis08:
The magisk 14.0 update has nothing to do with the rctd which is in the kernel.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lgv20user:
Am I good?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dimm0k:
DEFINITELY NOT! look at all those dead 'sh' processes... and you have 'rctd' running!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dimm0k:
DEFINITELY NOT! look at all of those dead 'sh' processes! on top of that rctd is running...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] shadavis08:
You need to flash a kernel that has rctd removed
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mervingio:
Done ?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lgv20user:
Nice!

Those that have successfully removed rctd; noticeable improvements?

Would be nice to encourage other users to follow suit and have their phone operate properly.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] drklaw:
Yes. I updated my kernel myself using image kitchen. Now my uptime is currently 7 days. That has never happened. Usually it's so sluggish by day 4 I need to reboot. It's still very fast and ram usage has been consistent. Usually it degrades over time. Thanks OP!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lgv20user:
Great to hear!

That's odd though regarding your previous uptime. Ive gone 30 days before having to a restart.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chris_caron25:
So I'm a little new here, how would I modify a kernel and remove this
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dimm0k:
hah, I had the same experience that lead me to first wipe my device and install app one by one, seeing if it had any effect on device slowdowns. when I had everything installed my device was sluggish as molasses by day 3-4. I actually stumbled upon this by chance when I ran 'ps' and nothing else! luckily I scrolled up and noticed the 'sh' processes... that lead to research and eventually the evil rctd causing all these 'sh' processes. not sure if we'd be here now if I didn't scroll up and take notice of the multiple 'sh' processes.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dimm0k:
too tired to go through all the exact details and if the three kernels I posted in the OP aren't for you model, then the basic steps are:

obtain copy of your boot.img from KDZ, otherwise 'dd' your boot partition in TWRP to an img file

get https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools

then follow the guide in that link to unpack your your boot.img file

look in the ramdisk folder

edit init.lge.rc, commenting out the group of lines that reference rtcd by putting a # at the beginning of each line

use the mkbootimg tools to repack the boot.img

flash boot.img in TWRP, reboot, profit
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chris_caron25:
I'm fairly sure Ill be able to do that the only question I have is how to dd in twrp
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dimm0k:
forgot to mention, the mkbootimg_tools are all done in a Linux environment... as for dd, it goes like this

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/external_sd/backup/boot.img
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lgv20user:
Anybody running 10j,have success with removing rctd?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] drklaw:
Yes. Mine is on a 10j ROM. WETA 4.9.6 to be exact.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lgv20user:
Strange. I am having trouble with the modified boot image sticking. What kernel are you running?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] netgar:
My smart friends please modify that kernel https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69706206&postcount=1

Im still run Tilde's ROM and love it however I am having slowing down issue after 3 days running a phone without reboot.

Thank you again
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lgv20user:
I'm wondering what would be causing the boot image to revert back to the old one?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] drklaw:
Stock, I think. Mental hadn't started his kernel until 5, I believe. I'm using whatever came with 4.9.6. I pulled it (already rooted with supersu) from my phone via adb and used image kitchen to unpack and repack it. Then flashed with twrp.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] texasaggie1:
Is there a way we can make this image that doesn't require us to flash magisk or superSU after? I've been playing around with running my ROM unrooted and loading all the good stuff thru TWRP. All because of my gear S3 watch and Samsung pay but I digress.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4529355:
Build your own. There is a tutorial on how to add the Edge Panels to any Nougat Note5. Keep it as stock as possible. The Dream UX is beautiful but having it work on device as old as ours it is just trouble. S8 based roms are not that fast and have many bugs. I built my own pack of mods because I could't find somethig that wasn't excessively modified.

It's not just Samsung bug. NFC Smart lock also disappeared on Lineage OS on my Nexus 5 and with out any system updates. I've read that it has to something with Google play services and it's missing from some other phones too.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Elijah Lynn:
NFC Smart Unlock was also removed on the Google Pixel phones with a 7.1.2 update and is still gone in the 8.0.0 (Oreo) update I just installed now. It was likely removed because it was buggy and stopped working on some phones (like mine).

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Marco.Leder:
NFC unlock

I think it isn't a bug... And it is not removed on purpose... I am running the latest Software for my Smasung S8+ (7.1.1) and I can still add NFC Tags. Under SMart Lock I go to trusted devices and then add NFC tag. I already have two NFC tags in there, so I dont know if this feature is still availible to me because I added one on Version 7.0 so maybe you had to add one earlier to still have this option unlocked which wouldnt make any sence tho... I suggest you try the app NFC Tools Pro and NFC Tasks (like tasker) which both work together very well and let you allow to unlock you phone with the tag.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] everyonesweird:
After carrier unlocking Japanese S7 edge SCV33 model, the firmware changes to SC-02H.

To root the device ( Nougat )

First enable OEM unlocking from the developers options.

Flash this TWRP via odin v3.12.5

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634747128

After installing, Please backup the whole rom to your SD card.

If you have any problem backing up. You can flash the stock recovery image in the link below and your device will boot up fine.

If the TWRP backup is a success,

First make sure your device boots up with this Twrp installed before rooting.

If the device boots up, then flash the SuperSu. If the device doesnot boots up, flash the stock recovery.

Workaround:

If the device fails to boot up with this twrp, Flash the super su. Turn off the device, then flash the Stock recovery via odin and bootup the phone. See if Super Su is installed.

Flash this flashable SuperSu v2.82.zip

http://www.supersu.com/download

You will loose root after a factory reset. Flash again!!!!

DONOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT BACKING UP.

First boot will loop for few times.

YOUR SIM CARD WILL RUN FINE

After rooting, incase you want your stock recovery, or your device doesnot boots up. Flash this via odin.

S7 edge SC-02H Stock recovery image

All credit goes to the rightful owners.

If this doesnt help and you fail to boot up the device or you messed up the device..... just restore from twrp and flash the stock recovery. You will have your device back to normal like it was before.

Hit thanks if this helped.

Below are some screenshots with SuperSu and all japanese apps removed!

You can also change the boot animation of this device by replacing corresponding botanimation files.

Backup the stock bootanimation files first.

Navigate to ;

root/system/media and replace the boot animation files.

Link is below.

And dont forget to set their permissons to ( r-w-r-r )

UPDATE:

Xposed also working....

download link below.

Xposed installer from PurifyOs....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] everyonesweird:
So, i found a new rom for our device

Found a new rom for our device... anybody would like to test it???

Flash the rom via ODIN....

Caution: I have experienced loosing my imei number if i perform a factory reset after installing this rom. Because of the previous nandroid backup, i was able to bring back device to previous working state. DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK..

My advice is that you backup your current rom and then only FLASH.

You get the idea.

Lot of work needed in this rom.

However it is stable...

Anybody who would like to modify????

All credit goes to the rightful owner....

Features like:

inbuilt fingerprint app lock

new launcher

all japanese bloats removed

no requirement of japanese docomo country code while dialing certain numbers

samsung keyboard

many device languages

New launcher etc

Wow is amplify module work? Can you write a tut to install and unistall?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] everyonesweird:
Yes....

Inorder to solve the failed to mount data.... you will have to boot into twrp and then go to wipe. At the bottom left.. you will see fomat data....

You will loose all the phone memory data so first its better you backup....

Then you will have no problem.. you can boot up all ok.

to install xposed..... Flash the xposed installer from twrp and the reboot. Install the xposed apk file and there you go.. you have your Xposed.

To uninstall xposed if incase you dont like it... Uninstall the xposed apk... reboot to twrp and flash the xposed uninstaller.zip

Hey, I was just wondering, can we change our CSC codes so we can avoid getting carrier bloatware?

you can manually delete the carrier bloats using any root explorer after rooting. you can then make and save a debloated nandroid backups..

or

you can go ahead and try whatever you are feeling like to... Life is an experiment my friend.

About root, yes, i can root my phone, but the problem is nfc has been disable, i dont know why, i cant find the reason. I tried like this:

cook rom - nfc ok

flash twrp - nfc not working

re-flash stock recovery - then nfc ok

so im try by re-flash twrp and install su to root (nfc not working) then im re-flash stock recovery: result nfc not working :eek::eek:

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Odd_Duck:
I am most likely going to get the Essential Ph-One, but am wondering what hardware /software keeps people from going full on w/ this new E. Ph-One? Both that the phone has or doesn't and that other manufacturers do,...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I came from a long line of Nexus/Pixel devices but recently switched to the Galaxy S8 a couple of months ago. After experiencing the bezel-less life, I couldn't imagine going back to something that has large bezels like the Pixel/Pixel XL. However, I'd like to get back into something with a more "pure Android" feel. So far the essential phone looks like a very viable option.

I was going to hold out for the 2nd generation of Pixel phones, but leaks from reputable sources are pointing to the smaller Pixel 2 having massive bezels and the larger Pixel XL2 simply being an enormous phone (pushing 6.4" tall). If the rumors about the Pixel line-up are true, neither phone will work for me. From what I've seen so far, the Essential phone is more or less what I was hoping the 2nd generation Pixel would be.

However, with apps and OS features requiring more and more resources, I'm a bit nervous about the 4GB RAM in the Essential phone. I'm also a bit baffled by their decision to go with LCD when the new standard in flagships is AMOLED. I'd understand if the use of LCD was to cut costs and lower the price, but at $700 that logic doesn't hold. Lastly, the initial reviews of the camera are very "meh" with no one being overly impressed with the pictures the Essential phone takes.

Another option I am considering is the OnePlus 5. 6-8GB of RAM, pure Android experience, blazing fast finger print scanner, AMOLED 5.5" screen and a good camera. It also has a headphone jack and while I know that this "feature" is on its way out, I'm just not quite ready to let go if I don't have to. The big downside of this phone is the 2015/2016 size top and bottom bezels. However, OnePlus does make good use of the bottom bezel by putting the finger print scanner/home button and capacitive buttons in that area, which frees up screen space from the on-screen nav bar. Not to mention that it's $160-$230 cheaper than the Essential phone, depending on which model you choose.

To make matters even more confusing, the iPhone 8 is rumored to be announced on September 6th. So at this point I'll probably take some more time to see what that has to offer and evaluate further.
