[General Questions and Answers] ciaoant1:
Hello all,

My sister recently bought a Xiaomi smartphone for her 12-year old son. But after just a few months, her son forgot the lock pattern that he had use on the phone, as he was constantly changing it.

So, now the phone is working Ok, but we cannot log into it, as we do not know the pattern.

We have his credentials for the google account, and the Xiaomi (Mi) account.

However, t here is no option to use them to unlock the phone.

We also tried to contact Xiaomi, they asked for the Mi account credentials, and after we provided these credentials to Xiaomi, they sent us an SMS with a code...which did NOT work!

So, I don't really know what to do, except to us for help, as none of us is very technical.

I found this program (Mi account unlock tool), but since it is not an official Xiaomi program, I am scared that maybe it is a virus or something like this - do you think I should use it?

If not, then how can I unlock the phone?

I am OK with doing a factory reset, and losing all settings and data that are currently on the phone, if that is necessary.

Also, please note that when I press the power button and the volume up button, I do NOT get an options menu, I get a picture with a phone and a usb cable - probably the phone wants me to connect it to the computer, but I am not sure about what the next step should be.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you

Pros and cons of having an encrypted data partition.

Keeping in mind you're going to have TWRP running on recovery.

I'm assuming if you're planning on switching roms in the future even though you're on stock oxygen right now you should move to a decrypted /data partition so you can flash different roms in the future.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Some custom ROMs seem to require an encrypted data partition. That may become standard or not. Depends.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Hitman478™:
I think it's depend on what you need to do.. or better in which rom do you want to install
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] vortex-5:
So I know you can go from not encrypted to encrypted while the OS is online can you do a similar thing form encrypted to decrypted? Or are we talking about a wipe to get data back to decrypted.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Decrypting will wipe all your data including internal storage. That's why it is such a PITA
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] vortex-5:
I guess that answers the question I'll start decrypted then.

How to make Galaxy S8/S8+ and Android Auto on Chevy MyLink 2017 7 Inch Display to mirror all the apps?

On the chevy System i can see only Waze and Google Maps on the apps list

I guess that these apps have some flag or the Android Auto app that installed on the phone is looking for the specific apk name of the Google Maps and the Waze apps

Anyone knows about bypass of it?
[Android Auto General] mike_art03a:
Long story short, Google has to approve the app for it to be used on Android Auto. If it isn't approved, yer outta luck.

There isn't any development that could bypass this?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Gajesh6:
Nothing's really wrong with my current tablet, I was wondering if the screen was noticeably better or the S-Pen made a big difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Tinderbox (UK):
I have an Tab S1 10.5" myself and i use it mostly for watching my Anime video`s so the S2 and S3 are not of interest to me.

The S1 was best for Video because of the 16:10 aspect ratio, also it had a rgb-stripe screen and the dpi higher than the S2 and S3 have a 4:3 aspect ratio and a cheaper pentile display, so you would have large black boarders at the top and bottom of the screen, though the S2 and S3 is better for browsing and art and writing, also the S3 might be better for audio as it has 4 speakers.

Below is a link to a comparison of the specs between the S1, S2 and S3

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8554&idPhone2=7438&idPhone3=6235

I cannot comment on S3 colour accuracy and the new hdr mode, but it`s supposed to look great.

If anybody want to know about rgb-stripe and pentile pixel patterns.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] pacc:
I just did the same, and I jumped from the Tab S1 (wifi) to S3 (lte) and honestly the only benefit you get is better frame rates in some heavy/demanding games.

I mainly got the S3 because I wanted a tablet with LTE, and after the amazing S1 screen, I couldn't get any less than the S3.

So the answer is no, don't spend you money unless you want something very specific (like in my case).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] DAvid_B:
The screen is much brighter on the s3. As someone said it is smaller.

Your battery is wearing out too. But I think the 10.5 had a better battery life.

The kernel currently is at a pretty early stage,

so bear with me - it's totally not where I want it to be (FauxSound, memory management improvements, even more battery/idle reductions, smoother operation, etc.)

but lack of time and focus on Xperia Z5* devices doesn't allow me to focus on it right now ...
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] LilBlinx:
First of all, thank you so much for diving into the development of this device. I was eager to get something like this from you and I honored to have it now and here.

At first, the kernel seems stable. There was quite a big lag at the first start up and it took a while for the WiFi to turn on but it's fine. I can't see any hotplug included in the kernel and SuperSU binaries are outdated. It seems like there isn't also undervolt and underclock included. The GPU idles at 400MHz which isn't quite power efficient. Overall it's good for a start. I also have a question which is for the touchscreen drivers for this phone. No matter the kernel, stock or custom, there are problems with the random shutting down of the touchscreen or going nuts (scrolling and pressing by itself randomly). I'm looking that the logs and it seems like that the cyttsp5 driver isn't functioning properly on the E2303 variant. I've attached dmesg and klog so you can take a look at it. Also, I'm not the only one with this problem, there are much more users in Q&A and on random forums and YouTube.

How does it compare to other kernels?

Does this kernel work with the Pexo rom?

I really REALLY want a kernel that has proper undervolt tables, because I can't stand my phone overheating randomly. Using Skymelon 9, it's alright but brings problems like overheating since it's running at higher frequency and the phone is already semi-snappy and I am not really gaming, since no games work that I like. For instance Shadowverse or Fate Grand Order. First game stutters and audio is distorted, while second game won't launch because phone is rooted.

Thanks for your Work Bro :)

Mobile Data don't work on E2363 (dual) and kernel governor stay on "performance", all other is OK.

Keep your good work :) .
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] LilBlinx:
Mobile data works here. For performance governor fix get the original init.qcom.post-boot.sh and put it in system/etc
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] valyo_bg:
[MENTION=4694376]DavidMKD[/MENTION] Its shows that mobile data is enabled, but there is no icon for 3g/LTE and every app report that phone is offline when WiFi is OFF. Enabling and disabling of mobile data don't helps.

Which version of M4 you have? Thanks for "performance fix", I will try to find proper file to replace inside system/etc or you can share it?

Edit: I found correct file and replace it and now kernel governor is interactive :) , only problem with mobile data remain, hopefully [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] will fix soon.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] LilBlinx:
I think you are right about mobile data, it doesn't work here either

Okay, updated the OP / first post with clearer instructions to get into Recovery,

LOT of folks are trying to mess with M4 Aqua users by posting WRONG instructions on how to get into fastboot or TWRP/recovery.

I thought I was (or Sony) going crazy with those differing Button combinations from M4 Aqua and Xperia Z5 but it's THE SAME !

fastboot

:

Recovery

:

No wonder people (or new starters) are having such a hard time to use this phone and start development for it (with that non-clarity , confusion and frustration)

Oh - been wondering what to make of the high brightness :o

Can you please point me to the modifications needed for it ?

With what tool or process the ramdisk/initramfs can be packed up again ?

Consider it done (take a look at the kernel folder) [ https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BykGGWB96CBQUFhXbG5sRUZMMWM ]

The kernel is still experimental and more of a proof of concept:

The iddd (idd daemon - or close to that name) is crashing and force-closing continually (last time I checked),

thus I renamed and moved it to the internal storage so that the Android/init system deactivates it :p

Thanks to [MENTION=6548273]dani020110[/MENTION] for pointing at the offending commit that would cause the crashing of the new kernel :)

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] dani020110:
Are you sure that volume down is for fastboot? if I recall correctly that is for the Sony flashmode

Regarding the iddd logspam: I already fixed it before, check this

https://github.com/dani020110/destiny/commit/4524e6d9f17d9cb177c2f253c403096ef67e0a57
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] zacharias.maladroit:
Yep, pretty sure, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to flash the kernel via fastboot in the first place,

not sure - again - if it differs that much from firmware to firmware between countries but I already observed differing behavior in the bootup sequence for the Z5 related to TWRP when it's off (Volume DOWN + Power button)

Thanks for those changes !

I probably asked before (but I can't seem to recall):

how exactly do you repack the ramdisk used in the kernel that it actually boots ?

(I've had issues before with the Z5 - so better asking than sorry ;) )
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] dani020110:
Check this https://github.com/dani020110/destiny/blob/reborn/build.sh#L71

If it doesn't boot, it may mean that the permissions of the files are screwed up, so you have to be careful with that
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] zacharias.maladroit:
corrected the mentioned link - thank you :)

Any feedback so far ?

Is it only me or does the phone really feel more smooth ?

(to me right now the M4 Aqua feels more smooth than the Z5 :confused: :laugh: )

Okay, I'll have a go at it next time I focus on the M4

Thanks :)

Kernel is stable and work good now, mobile data is OK, also kernel is efficient and battery have better life. Good work ?.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] zacharias.maladroit:
Thank you :angel:

The GUI probably will get a lot more smoother in the future in addition to that - but to get the gpu driver up-to-date it will require a lot back and forth porting (moving commits "around") ...
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] valyo_bg:
You are right, phone work very smooth and stable ?, no problems at all.

Could you update Super su binaries to latest versions?

Did you clear dalvic and cache after installing of kernel? I have good battery life with this kernel.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] batflleck:
Yes i Clear dalvik and cache . This kernel is faster than other kernels its Excellent . But I have a problem with the battery ...

This is my battery status
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] valyo_bg:
[MENTION=8414864]batflleck[/MENTION] I can't see problem In your screenshot, normally our device have 3, maximum 4 hours screen time in normal daily use. Battery life highly depends of internet browsing, especially when mobile data is used - in every few minutes you will lose 1% of battery. If WiFi is used for browsing is better, but still this cost huge battery drain. Unfortunately internet browsing is main problem for battery life for our Xperia M4.

This kernel work very good and smooth, the only think that is missed is update of SuperSu binaries, it will be good if [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] can fix this.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] flaximuss:
Hi zacharias.maladroit, dani020110, AndyPhoenix9879 contributors,

but there a problem in the root I cant modify system files and apps like 3C toolbox cant do some functions but it all worked in the previous version of the kernel is there a way to fix this?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] valyo_bg:
Maybe the problem is that root binaries of kernel are not updated to current version of SuperSu 2.82. Hopefully author will update them soon :) .
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] JimmyX32:
Hi [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] and all contributors,

Any news for kernel
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] MrSpindish:
It is for sure the best kernel for m4. From my research i can tell that discharging while charging is because of overheating. If temperatures are low phone is charging normally. Minimall brightness is... Well it is a very, very, veeeeery bad joke, it is like 50% on stock

Very stable and nice improvement for responsibility, i highly reccomend using this kernel to every m4 users
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] zputnyq:
Hallo dev,

I have some suggestion & I hope isn't too much

Tried this kernel, feels good but

Would you add more feature & change some things?

In thermal section, since m4 is easily heat, maybe cpu throttle temperature & temperature limit can be added, so user can choose their desired temperature when core will off & freq will ramp down. Moreover, maybe it's good to add kcal too.

When trying it on my device I saw that the default governor is performance, in my opinion using interactive looks better for battery. Furthermore on i/o scheduler, I think noop cause a bit drop on performance maybe it would be betterif it's change to i/o scheduler which considered balance for performance & battery.

For SuperSU, IMHO it's better if it's removed since most people prefer to flash their own root manager.

Thanks I really appreciate it

Edit: for governor I found the fix on previous pages back. Apart from what I've written above, When using nautilus kernelon my device (E2306), I saw folder named wlan_logs which contains cnss_fw_logsxxx.txt & host_driver_logxxx.txt, I think this logging should be disable since it could cause battery drain & take up considerable amount of space.

Perhaps, for wlan_logs can be reffered to this

https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-5-pro/development/18-jul-lineageos-15-1-t3817814/page43

So far I only disable the wlan_logs by editing a file cnss_diag.conf on /data/misc/wifi/

For lowering brightness, I think sky melon & destiny have implemented it already. Moreover, enabling add random seems not necessary, it's good for rotational storage & I saw on most kernel it's set to disable.

Thanks I really appreciate it

Hi [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION],

I'm using this kernel but I rooted my device with magisk & removed its supersu. This kernel is good so far. Unfortunately, there is something annoyed me related to selinux state. I see that it is in permissive state. May I know how to change it, I have tried many commands & apps but no luck also I cannot build a kernel from source ?

Is it posible to change it by creating an init file with the proper init stage ?

[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] quinejh:
Is this for the ota ? I installed it but couldn't get it to boot.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Yes, Oreo. Did you flashes BusyBox, then a base first? What exactly did you do? Give me the details.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] quinejh:
I had already been running O. I flashed it a couple days earlier. So I downloaded the mod and busy box how ever I had to reflash stock because a couple days ago I installed busy box and lost root so I was afraid of installing this busy box. So I would assume BusyBox is required in order for this to. Then I see an updated BusyBox so I am I to assume that the install process is Flash the mod then install the updated BusyBox. My current setup is stock rooted with Su hide installed. Thanks for the help.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
You should not lose root by installing this BusyBox. Yes, install this BusyBox (first), then flash Aroma and first thing go to the end of the selections and flash one of the 6 bases. If you are not interested in internet speed meter, it doesn't matter which base you choose. After flashing the base you can then select and flash the individual mods you want. Bases have a Navbar height of 36 dip. Stock is 48. 3Minit resources apk must be installed prior to flashing 3minit mod if you are interested in that.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] TENN3R:
If you can use your Pixel without SUhide, people say SuperSU SR1 Pixel Fix looks like to work with busybox on Oreo, so you can try if you feel lucky.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] carpediemrf:
this mod its only for pixel? any other phone on Oreo not?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] GeekMcLeod:
Just installed 4 column QS, rebooted because I didn't realize I could only select one option at a time. Booted back into TWRP, flashed 3 mods (center clock, battery text and remove nav bar) without rebooting once. When it finally booted which took a bit, it instantly did a factory reset thing. It rebooted itself to a try again/ factory reset screen. Tried again, same result.

Going to quickly reflash stock image. If you have any insight as to why it did this, I would appreciate any and all help. If you have any questions for me that can help determine what happened, ask away! This was the last thing I needed to install for my stock oreo to be perfect for me!
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I don't have a 4 column qs option. That is stock in all the bases. If you meant you flashed the 3 column option, that is a mod, not a base. The very first thing you flash must be one of the bottom six bases (0-2,0-3,0-4, 250-2, 250-3, 250-4). Just the first time. After that, everything else should work. No need to reboot but it doesn't hurt anything. Without flashing a base first, it will fc every time. BusyBox should be installed before flashing the Aroma.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] GeekMcLeod:
Oh I guess I didn't add that, I did flash one of the bottom 6, can't remember which one exactly but it had a 4 in it, so I was hoping it meant 4 QS columns. When it did boot, that was all that changed[ I had 4 column QS] before I rebooted to try installing those other 3 and it failed. If you don't even have that option, that's just weird. Busybox definitely was installed already.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I don't have a 4 column option because it comes that way in all the bases.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] GeekMcLeod:
Ohh okay, makes sense. Currently in the process of trying it again.

Update: Didn't work again, giving up until tomorrow. Need some video game time. Lol
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
That combo didn't work for me either. I'm working on it.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
.

I apologise, I also have a thread on the Nexus 5X with this same Aroma and botched a copy and replace I did. All center clocks are bad and a couple of other things. I'll let you know when it is finished.
