Thanks but not sure what you mean about the kdz. I have the unlocked version and there are already rooting instructions here.

Custom kernels which give you: Battery optimalisations: 10-30 % more battery and better performance at same time depends on which settings you chose: gouvernors tweaks..

.

Adaway, custom battery icons, more smoothness and better performance, debloat

Full controll sound: viper4android which is amazing with this dac

Full control screen colors: yellow, blue, red and more with kcal color tweaks

okay i am getting closer:) a month ago i was also discouraged about the "second screen" not functioning but it appears that has changed too!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
Viper was the main reason. Adblocking is nice too but that was more of a side benefit since there are also ways to adblock without root, adaway is more convenient and flexible. Also the little things like being able to double tap to sleep in Nova using the root method works better. Performance customizations are another big thing as I keep finding more and more stuff to try (trying out AKT's mod right now to great effect so far)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] notese:
About last April, my camera started doing blurry photos because of the shakiness problem. I was sure that something inside was broken, but didn't want the hassle of the exchanging process.

I read the changelog of stock B32 and noticed fixes for the camera. So wiped by custom rom and went back to stock to try it. To my surprise, the camera stopped with the shakiness and started taking good pictures. I tried stock for awhile to make sure that it wasn't just coincidence. I intentionally did intensive processes to let the phone get hot and started the camera to see if it was still working; I did this a bunch of times without problems, including starting the camera in another app (whatsapp). I noticed that the focus sound (the audible notification the phone makes when you touch the screen to focus) and the mechanical clicking noise from the OIS were no longer there.

The problem is that I love my custom setup and I dont like the look of stock. I went back to my regular setup, and to my surprise again, the camera remained fixed. When I switched from stock to my custom setup, I just flashed the following in this order:

1) A2017X B15 Universal Bootloader (thanks Unjustified Dev)

2) AOSP Extended v4.6 (thanks NFound)

3) Radioactive kernel v2.4 (thanks OrdenKrieger)

4) GAPPS micro

5) B32 Camera (thanks lian00)

6) Magisk v14

7) B32 bootstack (thanks DrakenFX)

Everything but slow motion video seems to be working on the Stock B32 camera app in AospEx. I followed the comments from the post below to get the camera working:

https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/themes/zte-camera-flashable-zip-t3553638/page26

I'm still testing, but everything looks good so far after a week. if you have the shakiness try it before sending it for repairs, it might work for you too. Also, I have the benefit of not having the annoying focusing sounds.

Note: I have the A2017U since October 2016.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flopix1337:
Hey guys, my Nexus 6P got the BLOD 2 months ago so i sent it into warranty. They sent me back a new one a few days back. First thing i did is I enabled OEM unlocking and USB debugging. Is that enough to save my 6P in case I get a bootloop again? Should i unlock bootloader and install custom recovery? Stock oreo is working pretty good, any of you guys recommending any custom roms?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardwiz:
I would think that no mater how talented are the mods in here, who came up with a solution for a crippled 6P, in a case of a BLOD I would simply get it fixed if I can get Huawei to do it or simply get a new device.

having a crippled 6p with only four cores active , little cluster, that's not a real smartphone.

But as a whole, yes, unlocking your bootloader is what you need to use that mod.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
I don't know about the 6P boot loop causes (they are not so popular like the 5X with this problem). Just in case I recommend you to do this.

In the 5X, 90% of the bootloops happen in less than 2 weeks after a mayor OTA update (like from M to N or N to O).

So what I do is to put the phone in the fridge for 5 minutes, once is cold I press the update button and let it update inside the fridge. This way the phone remains COLD during the update process, and one of the 5X chipset doesn't get unsoldered. Note that It shouldn't be more than 10 minutes inside the fridge.

[HELP] Samsung GT-S7275R "No Command" Recovery Mode and Bootloop even after flashing

Samsung Mobile Phone

Model : GT-S7275R

FCC/ID : A3LGTS7275R

SSN : -S7275RGSMH

My phone suddenly become bootloop, then i tried to flash it using stock rom even i didn't found the stock rom that suite to my phone SSN. And its still not stop to bootloop.

Then i tried to flash it with custom rom. But i can't get into recovery mode because it's says "no command".

How can i fixed it? anyone can help please.

Thanks before.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aajjeee:
I bought a used OPO which already had an unlocked bootloader and lineageOS 14.1 installed, my goal is to root and to do so I need to activate the option with twrp (the SuperSU already is on the LineageOS 14.1, but needs to be activated with twrp)

unfortunately, when I flash twrp, I am unable to get it to boot into recovery I have tried various key combinations, volUP+power gets me into fastboot (how i flashed it), volDOWN+power seems to power down before anything happens.

this is how i flashed twrp

Turn the phone off. Then boot it into fastboot mode by holding volume up + power.

Rename the recovery file that you downloaded above to recovery.img. *Make sure that you rename it to recovery.img NOT recovery.img.img* Remember that this file should be placed in the platform-tools folder inside of the android-sdk-windows folder on your desktop.

Open a new command prompt and run the following commands:

Code:

cd Desktop/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead Unplug Your phone then Manually turn it off by pressing and holding power button until it switches off. Now to enter your newly installed custom recovery, hold volume down + power. The phone should boot into recovery mode. Now that you have a custom recovery, you may continue to the final step.

Close the command prompt window.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prof. Yaffle:
Turn off the phone completely. Then press and hold volume down and power. Release when the first screen comes on.

Alternatively enable Developer options (Settings - About phone - press Build Number several times to enable) then enable Advanced Restart in Developer options and when you press Power button and Restart you then get the option for Restart, Soft Restart, Recovery and Bootloader.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aajjeee:
the only options in advanced restart are power off restart airplane mode my gmail account and create new user, this might be because i am using lineageOS and not the stock OS.

when i do the volDOWN+power, the one plus logo appears, the screen closes, then the logo reappears then It is as if i had oppened the phone normaly.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aajjeee:
Should i just give up and put the phone back to 100% stock? That ought to work but i<m hoping its not necessary.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Ak:

I have a Windows Mobile 6.1 device that I need to connect to Windows Mobile Center via Blutooth.

Note: The same steps Works with a Windows Mobile 5.1 device in the same computer, and I tested with two different computers.

I can pair the PC and the PDA without problem.

In the PC I run Windows Mobile Center.

In the PDA I run ActiveSync and select "Connect via Bluetooth".

The PDA open a window with the text "Openning port...".

The text changes to "User authenticated".

The window closes, and a full screen message with title "Synchronization Error" and text "This device is not allowed to connect to desktop computer" appears.

The PDA is a new and clean device. The computer isn't connected to Active Directory Domain. It has Windows 7 (the two computers tested)

I thing this is a security configuration, but I can't disable or grant access. The pair Works without any error, and I can see the pair settings on the PC and on the PDA.

Also: When I try to run an app (.exe) copied from SD Card or install (.cab) an error "This app is not signed with a trusted certificate" is shown, and I wan't to remove this block, but I can't edit register or Access via ActiveSync.

Note: I post similar questions on other forums, different to "xda" without response.

Thanks for your help!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] duefectu:
In the end the problem was that the device was locked for security. The manufacturer sent me a cab to disable security, which in this case only annoyed.

So, I'm not sure how many people are familiar with a hacked Motorola phone feature called "fun lights" (or club lights), in which the phone picks up music being played and flashes its lights to the beat, as seen here with a Motorola KRZR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS32vxWQC1U . Can this be done with our phones? I know the Tilt has a good number of lights to use. The indicator lights on the headset speaker and the soft key lights would be prime blinking lights. This feature would also be cool to do when someone calls you, and you're in the dark, your phone's buttons will start blinking and flashing.

So, developers and people who are smarter than I am, can this be done?

[IMG="VPN/Sentry"]https://www.vpnsentry.net/ic_launcher.png[/IMG]

VPN/Sentry

Virtual private network with firewall

Encrypt the internet traffic of all your apps

Allow or block internet traffic per app or address

Mix your internet traffic with that of others for increased privacy

Simple to use while still offering advanced features

Blocking access to the internet can help to:

reduce data usage

save on battery usage

increase your privacy

VPN/Sentry is designed for minimum battery usage and maximum network speed. It does not require root permissions.

VPN/Sentry supports all IP protocols. You'll even have IPv6 connectivity when you normally don't have.

There is a free data allowance of 50 MB per day to try the app. Unlimited data usage is available with a subscription.

This app is in beta testing stage, but seems to be pretty stable so far.

Hi Marcel,

VPN/Sentry does not auto-start on reboot. Is this by design?

device: Nexus 6P/Oreo

- set VPN/Sentry as Alway-on VPN

- Upon reboot, VPN/Sentry is not auto connected.

- has to touch the VPN/Sentry icon in the Status bar to manually connect.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] M66B:
Start on boot works properly, but I can reproduce your problem if I set VPN/Sentry as always on VPN like you did. I will look into this tomorrow.

Thanks for reporting this.

Edit: correction: if I wait long enough, it works. Android starts VPN/Sentry soon after boot, but it takes some time until Android reports "boot completed" to VPN/Sentry.

Can you please check what happens if you wait a little longer?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hiaig:
Yes, you are correct. If I wait long enough, VPN/Sentry will auto connect.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] M66B:
I have just released

version 0.18 which will start the VPN earlier when VPN/Sentry has been set to always-on VPN.

It may take a few hours until this release is available in the Play store.

Edit: the release type has been changed from alpha to beta, since recent releases seems to be pretty stable.

Will speed be impaired?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] M66B:
VPN/Sentry was designed for minimal battery usage and maximum speed. The server bandwidth, currently 100 Mbit/sec, is shared though. See the terms of service (menu, help, about) for more information.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hackel:
This looks like a great app! I do wish you would reconsider your position on releasing the source code, both for the Android VPN client and the server. If I could, I would love to run my own, private server instance, even if this means sacrificing some anonymity. I also have to imagine that if this app takes off (which I hope it does), server bandwidth costs would become prohibitively expensive for you to maintain yourself, which means you will start having to charge users for bandwidth. I also think it doesn't make sense to always route everything through France when the majority of the time I'm at home, on my own local WiFi network.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sulasno:
Cannot run alongside with Blokada*
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] M66B:
I have no plans to open source VPN/Sentry at this moment. One of the reasons is that I don't want to support running own serves, since this will inevitably result in all kind of questions I don't want / can't put time into at this moment.

Related FAQ: https://www.vpnsentry.net/faq/#FAQ8

This thread is for a reason in the XDA paid apps main forum. Data usage is free at this moment and will stay free up to a limit (to be determined), but will / need to be paid later on.

If you would run your own server, your internet traffic has to pass through your local Wi-Fi network as well, so this is not really an argument. I will add a server in Canada soon, also to have a proper backup, if you are worried about latency.

If you are concerned about your privacy, this is what I wrote in the NetGuard forum:

"I can imagine people asking themselves if I am trustworthy and they should. Therefore a little about my motives: developing VPN/Sentry is mainly a technical challenge to me (although the app looks simple, it is in fact a lot more complex than NetGuard under the hood). VPN/Sentry is something I want to use myself to reduce battery usage while still having full filtering capabilities. VPN/Sentry already has profiles and will have wildcard and global filtering (including ad blocking) in the near future.

I am just a independent developer and not a big company. IMHO you should be more worried about big companies anyway. Run the Android Booking.com app with NetGuard with filtering enabled or with VPN/Sentry enabled and take a look at what is being accessed for an example.

I have no interest in your data and not even the time to analyze your data. I might take a look at your data in the testing phase, but this will be just to debug problems.

Anyway, you have to make up your own mind about this, but I hope this helps."

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] M66B:
Only one app can use the Android VPN service at the same time, so this is not surprising.

What do you mean by "trigger" ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sulasno:
Turn on VPN when I use Facebook. Off when I shut down FB
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] M66B:
Without root permissions it is not possible to monitor the state (active or not) of other apps, so what you want is not possible. Note that VPN/Sentry was designed to not require root permissions.

I don't see the added value either, since the VPN is there to secure all connections, not only those of Facebook. If you really want, you can enable the VPN and exclude all apps except Facebook from using the VPN.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] yadida08:
this version works well for me. The dark theme is :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Loader009:
Ok, I think I understand why it is build from scratch. The usual VPN servers are tunnels which has to be connected all the time or has to reconnect.

An openssl based VPN is more like a proxy, which is why VPN/Sentry doesn't have to reconnect and deep sleep is possible. Better for mobile devices.

I don't understand this... which subscription is used? As I don't pay for the app, how can I subscribe and/or help you running the server(s) on the financial side?

I mean, you have to pay for that server (it's probably the same as for XPrivacy) but since it is a dedicated project, will you make this a "donor-only" project? (As some features including the community rules in XPrivacy.)

I think I understand the rest, read the privacy policy and tos thoroughly, so no questions on this. Thanks!

I even thought "I could run that also on my own server if you would release it as closed source" but on the other handside only one user on such a server compromises privacy, as the services (whatsapp, google and whatnot) see one IP, always and this is critical for anyone who wants even a minimum of privacy.
