[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] lavemetoo:
i bought this phone last week and was very disappointed. due to this issue I've sent it back.

this feature is a must-have and I do not spend 400€ for a new phone with this restriction. then my Z5C will be kept until I find a suitable replacement.

sorry sony. this is a no-go. you've lost a purchase.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Sorry to disapoint, but you might be waiting a while. This wasn't a software oversight on Sony's part, it's missing at a hardware level. None of the snapdragon proccessors support this any more, niether the 835 or the new 845.

There is an app that does exactly the same as taptowake, but it uses the proximity sensor instead of the screen and has had some good reviews from XDA members.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] francois64:
I also want to say that, i had the same feeling as you before, but if you think a little bit, "double tap to wake" finction makes no sense cause you can unlock your phone with finger print, much more secure !
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] lavemetoo:
of course you can unlock with fingerprint and i use it.

but just to check new information and if it worth to unlock screen or not, it is very suitable for me.

thank you Steve for the information. I had gravity in former times already. would be an alternative of course.

but comparing my currently used Z5C with the XZ1C, i came to the conclusion to send it back.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
I moved from Z3C to the XZ1C and in many ways I wished I hadn't. I miss root, although Andormeda has fixed my themeing needs. The battery life is way better on the XZ1C, but I'm not sure it was worth the £500. The bugs with the camera have been fixed at last, so it does take brilliant pictures if you can keep it still enough, best used with a tripod. But side by side there was almost nothing in the picture quality between the two phones. I could have hung on with my old Z3C another year and just bought the XZ1C when the price drops next year.

Hi folks, We all know about new feature "Windows Experience or Performance Index" in Windows Vista. It's a new feature which automatically calculates your system performance index based on the hardware you have. It can be between 0.1 to 9.9

Windows Performance Index is shown in System Properties which can be accessed by right-clicking on My Computer icon on Desktop and select Properties or from Control Panel.

With Vista's Windows Experience Index it can be handy to manually change the score so you can get extra features that apply to PC's with a higher score.

Using this trick, you can increase that Index upto 9.9

NOTE: It will, of course not affect/improve the actual performance of your system. Take a prior backup of that file before editing it.

How to:

1. Type following in Startmenu Searchbox / Run / Explorer Addressbar:

%windir%\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore

And Press <Enter>.

2. You’ll one or more .xml files in the folder. Sort them by Date Created or look at their name. The file name will be in following format:

2007-11-08 22.23.17.858 Assessment (Initial).WinSAT.xml

Where "2007-11-08 22.23.17.858" might differ from machine to machine and Windows Installation date/time.

3. Open the latest file in "Wordpad" and goto line having <WinSPR>. It’ll be approx. 12th line and will look like following:

<WinSPR>

<SystemScore>1</SystemScore>

<MemoryScore>4</MemoryScore>

<CpuScore>3.4</CpuScore>

<CPUSubAggScore>2.9</CPUSubAggScore>

<VideoEncodeScore>3.9</VideoEncodeScore>

<GraphicsScore>1</GraphicsScore>

<GamingScore>1</GamingScore>

<DiskScore>4.2</DiskScore>

4. Now you can edit the numbers between > & < and can increase them upto 9.9 as following:

<WinSPR>

<SystemScore>9.9</SystemScore>

<MemoryScore>9.9</MemoryScore>

<CpuScore>9.9</CpuScore>

<CPUSubAggScore>9.9</CPUSubAggScore>

<VideoEncodeScore>9.9</VideoEncodeScore>

<GraphicsScore>9.9</GraphicsScore>

<GamingScore>9.9</GamingScore>

<DiskScore>9.9</DiskScore>

5. Thats it. Save the file and check the Index again in System Properties. It'll 9.9 now.

Microsoft will allow a higher score than 5.9 in the future when the relative performance of future computers far exceed a score of 5.9

i have a question for u Rohit.

my pc has intel 915gm which has 192 mb graphic memory

1gb ram

1.7 GHz intel centrino

as intel has stopped shipping this chipset,there are no WDDM drivers available for it.

so no aeroglass for it!

as the beta versions of vista used to have a perfectly working aeroglass., is there any way i can force glass effect by any tweak?

(and what more, Microsoft no more gives the vista beta for download)

thanks
[Off-topic] zacwhite15:
hey dude you should be able to pull the driver out of one of the beta builds. and that should work fine.
[Off-topic] rohitsharman:
Hey mate, try this:

1. Click on the start button and key in regedit and hit Enter.

2. Navigate through, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, Windows and DWM.

3. Set Composition to 1 and CompositionPolicy to 2.

4. Restart the DWM by restarting the Desktop Windows Manager Session Manager service. This can be done in services.msc or by typing net stop uxsms and net start uxsms at command prompt.

Once the service restarts you will have glass !!!

by beta, you mean Longhorn ? I don't think Microsoft is nice enough to offer us free beta version, when their Vista(paid version) is already on a boom in market:D
[Off-topic] rohitsharman:
Yeah mate, you are right, this can work.
[Off-topic] mariner_heart:
tried it also.

no luck mate!

i feel we can't do it.

i appreciate ur willingness to help friends.
[Off-topic] rohitsharman:
You are always welcome, buddy. Did you try zacwhite15's way ?
[Off-topic] mariner_heart:
not really because:-

1. i no longer have vista beta.

2. even if i had, i'm too dumb to do that.
[Off-topic] rohitsharman:
So, in the nutshell, you need those WDDM drivers, right ?
[Off-topic] mariner_heart:
yes exactly....but they r not available from intel.

App that can switch "Wi-Fi" off and "Location + Bluetooth" on at the same time

Hi there,

I have a use case. On daily basis, when I leave home for work, I will need to turn WiFi off, and turn Location (GPS) and Bluetooth ON. Normally when I'm home, I tend to turn off these two (Location and Bluetooth) OFF because I don't really need them to be on. Is there an Android App that works with stock Note3 that could do this with one simple click/swipe? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaDisNX255:
Not that I know off. But I would recommend NFC tags, I think you can program them to do those functions from what I read. Never tried them myself, since I have a custom ROM and it messes up my NFC.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda_2017:
Thanks! This is a great idea! However, I just bought some NFC tags. They don't work with my samsung galaxy note 3 with my case (Spigen) on. Any other idea that can automate this simple task? Thanks!

I also tried geo-location-base apps, such as "Llama - Locatoin Profiles". It didn't work out very well either. Any other ideas would be highly appreciate. Thanks!

You can try xTouchWiz Xposed module which has a function to fake the system status as Official instead of Custom under the security hacks section.

Alternatively you can use Magisk which should hide everything but Xposed from apps.

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] YMNDLZ:
Tested Devices:

Huawei GR5 BLL-L22.

Hello all,

I just wanted to put this guide out there for anyone struggling with restoring stock after flashing a custom nougat rom/TWRP. It took me several days to figure out this method, which has never failed to get me back to stock after screwing with my phone. You can also use this if you accidentally wiped data without removing your fingerprint.

Prerequisites:

- Stock firmware for your device. If you were using a BLL-L22, you need the firmware which matches your phone's model and it has only been tested with the same firmware version. You can use the Huawei firmware update finder to get it.

- You'll need HuaweiUpdateExtractor, find it here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 . All credit goes to the original creator of the tool, [MENTION=981278]worstenbrood[/MENTION] .

- You also need a Micro SD card in your phone, along with a micro SD card reader/ SD card reader (if you have a micro SD to SD card converter).

- You need a functioning computer with ADB commands installed system wide.

Anyways, here goes:

1. Unzip the update zip file, and ensure you have the update.app .

2. Using Huawei Update Extractor, extract only the boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, and vendor.img from the update.app . Those are the only files you need.

3. Boot into TWRP and format data. then wipe ALL partitions.

HINT: If you had your Micro SD card merged with internal storage, MAKE SURE you partition your micro SD card in TWRP via the partition SD card functionality, using EXT3/4.

4. Reboot into TWRP, and flash the vendor.img using the install image functionality in TWRP.

5. Wipe all partitions and format data as well, and reboot into the bootloader (fastboot).

6. Flash the BOOT, RECOVERY, and SYSTEM images, in that order, using fastboot.

7. Reboot into fastboot, and remove your micro SD card.

8. Create a folder called dload in the folder where the update.app file is located, and place the update.app file inside the dload folder.

9. Copy the dload folder to the micro SD card you have connected to your PC via a card reader.

10. Place the micro SD card back inside the phone, and then hold power + volume up + volume down.

11. This should begin the flashing process, wait till it finishes flashing and reboots.

12. Boot into the stock recovery, and factory reset and also clear data.

13. Reboot.

14. PROFIT! You should be back on EMUI 5.0 with a fully functional phone once more.

If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask. Also, if the guide worked for you, please let me know and I'll compile a list of devices it has been tested on. Thanks guys!

DISCLAIMER: This method works flawlessly for me, and I have used it countless times with my Huawei GR5 2017 (BLL-L22). I am not responsible for any damage done to your phone, nor can I guarantee this will work on every single variant of the Honor 6X. Do to this at your own discretion.

Hit thanks if I helped.

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] YMNDLZ:
This guide concerns rolling back via dload, not via TWRP. You'd be better off asking in the TWRP thread, or asking the OpenKirin team.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] yoko89:
I haven’t follow this guide

I just used dload directly with the same firmware (i was only rooted)

Phone doesn’t enter fastboot using volume down and power

But i can go to fastboot using adb command (adb reboot bootloader)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] xda_jm:
I am actually exactly doing this right now. Honor was not able to help me, after the BETA UEMI 5.0 put the system into a non-upgradable state. I tried to upgrade it/rollback etc. but that made it worse.

So- my current problem is, I don't have TWRP (It is installed, but won't start because I am in the rollback-version of the firmware). what can I do to actually go on with it?

When you say: 3. Boot into TWRP and format data. then wipe ALL partitions.

So - I used the recovery from HAWEI to format the data partition (That should do it).

As I said - I only have fastboot at hand right now.

Also - the vendor image flash returns this:

$ fastboot flash vendor VENDOR.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'vendor' (419273 KB)...
OKAY [ 11.443s]
writing 'vendor'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 11.448s

Any hints?

No, it just won't allow me to write the vendor image.

I can go into the regular recovery etc., but I can' t do anything. Not even reset the system etc.

Flash twrp using fastboot or use dload method
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] xda_jm:
I have the BLN-L21C432 device (Berlin). You know which TWRP I have to flash?

Using the twrp from https://dl.twrp.me/berlin/ ->

twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin.img

That twrp won't show up. Probably because I don't have the right Vendor-image or so. No logs available etc. A real bummer ... :crying:

Stuck here:

You're device has been unlocked and can't be trusted.

To learn more, visit:
Blabla UYRL ...

Your device is booting now...

My assumption is that I have a mismatch between Vendor/recovery/system and boot.img files. Only, how do I look into these images (I could mount them as loopback device under linux? Linux only here, no windows). And I need to identify the verison of these images/build to flash the right versions for the dload to actually handle the right upgrade.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
That TWRP won't work, sadly even if hosted on official site it never worked. Grab the TWRP from here https://xdaforums.com/honor-6x/development/twrp-t3583413 and flash via fastboot, it'll surely works. Vendor partition is separated from recovery one, so don't worry because even with an incorrect vendor.img it'll works anyway ;)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] xda_jm:
Yeah. That was it.

So I am able to actually get into the TWRP recovery. Nice :)

Now - following your guide, I am unable to format data partition:

Full SELinux support is present
MTP Enabled
Formating data using mkfs.f2fs
mkfs.f2fs -t 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p49 process ended with ERROR: 255
unabel to wipe data
unable to format to remove encryption

Any idea?

Shall I continue with the process?

I could change the filesystem of data to ext4 or so for testing?

UPDATE: Actually changing data to ext4, formating it as ext4 + rebooting into recovery and changing back to f2fs and formating f2fs worked in the end. What a crap.

I'll write down exactly what I do!

So - everything worked, except the factory reset showed a red exclamation mark.

It is now rebooting. And - no. I still have the BETA EMUI 5.0 showing, BuildNr. BLN-L21C900B300

Opening a new post for the next steps...
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] xda_jm:
So - the cleaning has not worked.

After checking the imags in the update package, I noticed they are all different.

Why did the system-reset fail at all? Where does that come from?

Here the file-checksums:

The rollback one is supposed to be an intermediate entry - C900B300 - which was supposed to make a rollback to EMUI 4.x (Tried that route, because I couldn't update any EMUI 5 releases).

Any idea what to do?

Reloaded twrp. When I chec the internal storqage, I see:

Cache

Data

System

Vendor

Product

Micro SDCard

USB OTG

Could it be the Product partition? What's inside?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] xda_jm:
Actually, there are 48 Partitions *lol* Amazing.

And - to write an image manually using adb shell in twrp (That's where it works), the extracted images from UPDATE.APP need to be uncompressed first with:

/external_sd # simg2img PRODUCT.img PRODUCT.raw
/external_sd # dd if=PRODUCT.raw of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p48
393216+0 records in
393216+0 records out
201326592 bytes (192.0MB) copied, 7.405686 seconds, 25.9MB/s

Alas, the images are identical. So no changes.

Still debugging under the hood.

If anyone has an idea, let me know :}
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] xda_jm:
So - last post from me probably. It has not worked.

My wife decided to stay with the beta EMUI 5.0.0.1 until a decent Lineage OS 14.1 version is there (Stable). I'll then put it on the Honor 6x.

It is amazing to see that actually 8GB of space from the disk is reserved for HUAWEI and GOOGLE tools, dispersed in 48 partitions, all to prevent people from using the device freely.

And I bet in future it will get worse and worse. Anyway - have learned a lot regarding the tools and how to use these, and what to take into account when doing things with phones.

I personally still use an old BQ E4.5 Aquaris Ubuntu phone which does most of what I need very nicely :) IO know why I hate Apple devices, and not so much Android devices.
