[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Bubblewhip:
Hi, I just got an LG G6 and ran through the process of rooting and unlocking my bootloader installing TWRP and such.

I did run into a hiccup that required me to download a ROM of the US997 14A model here https://xdaforums.com/lg-g6/development/rom-lg-us997-14a-rom-t3656478

After getting that resolved, I went to encrypt my phone to find no option there. I checked on the other forums and reddit and people are saying it is "already encrypted."

However to confirm this, I launch TWRP through the phone after setting a password (I use whole word passwords)

All files are in plain view with the recovery not asking for any passwords which leads me to believe that the system is not encrypted.

This is highly concerning and potentially a deal breaker for me, is there something in the process I am missing or I did wrong?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
If you have access to the internal memory from twrp than the phone is not encrypted, just flash a kdz trough lgup+uppercut and it'll be encrypted again
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Bubblewhip:
If I flash the stock KDZ I will lose TWRP, was this loss of encryption due to unlocking the bootloader or loading TWRP? Are you given a password decrypt screen from TWRP If you try to access the phone through the bootloader?

Thanks.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
Yeah, you'll lose twrp and root.

It's not due to bootloader unlock or twrp installation, you can decrypt the device only using the format data option in twrp.

I don't have an encrypted device so nope

[Xiaomi Redmi Pro Questions & Answers] sid_aj:
Hi All -

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Pro with an unlocked bootloader which is stuck in a boot loop or fastboot screen. It has some very recent pics and videos that I desperately want to save. Thre is no SD card in the phone. However, I cannot get the phone to be detected by the computer/ boot in recovery etc. I have tried a few DIY(TWRP) from online forums but to no avail. I flashed it with MI flash tool(fastboot rom) using save user data; Flash was successful but the phone is still stuck in a bootloop.

I came across an article on Gizbeat with the title " Flash ROM upgrade firmware without losing user data cache" which showed how to save user data while flashing the phone with SP Flash tool. The author has advised deselecting certain parts of the scatter file. I have downloaded Redmi Pro china stable fastboot rom, but the scatter file has different parts to what was shown in the tutorial. At this stage, I do not know what to deselect.

Can the experts on this forum please advise which options should be selected/deselected to save user data while flashing? I have attached a screenshot of the scatter file. Thanks already.

Anyone? Please!

I have spent quite a long time developing this app and am still trying to add more features. My main goal with this app was to make organizing assignments easier. A lot of kids at my school take a picture of the homework board, so I made my app able to automatically get the assignments listed in a picture and add it to a digital planner. I am constantly looking for advice as I definitely cannot improve my app if I just look at it from one perspective. So I would appreciate if you would please check out my app and give me feedback!

Hi guys, yesterday Razer announced their phone, but a Razer fan will be disappointed... because the phone doesn't have any Chroma code.

With Oreo beta, Samsung update their edge lightning and we've got some pretty awesome new edge lightning, and a "chroma" edge lightning ;)

Check it out here in the video :

[youtube]WXQsZwEE5zQ[/youtube]

As you can see the UI seems to be more fluid, but animations remain the same (be aware, here, all animation are scale at x0,5 that's why it seems to be more faster than usual)

help... tried upgrading from wm2003 to wm6

I have now got to a point where the screen is dark with serial at the top & v2.07 at the bottom.

can anyone tell me how to get out of this & explain in easy terms how to upgrade to wm6

thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Kasush:
That is the Bootloader screen and you should be there. I would have sent you to the wiki, but it is not working currently. If you are updating to another WM2003 ROM then run the file you downloaded now, if you are updating to WM5 or 6 or 6.1 then run the MA_Upgrade file now.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] CHALFONTCOURIERS:
HI KASUSH

THANKS FOR REPLYING.

IM STILL A BIT LOST AS TO WHAT TO DO NEXT.

I CANNOT ACTIVE SYNC ANYTHING TO MY PDA. WHEN I PUT THE PDA IN THE CRADDLE THE SERIAL WORD GOES TO USB. AS I MAY TELL, IM A COMPLETE NOVICE AT THIS.

I HAVE A FILE ON MY DESKTOP STATING ASU3.5.2

THANKS KASUSH

I honestly have no idea what that file you have is. Go here and follow the steps to upgrade to WM6:

You can find several WM6 and WM6.1 ROMs here:

Hi Kasush

Thanks again for replying.

Hopefully last question

I have saved the the Helmi ba wm6 file to my pc.

How do i transfer/run it to the ba if you dont have active sync?

rob
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Kasush:
Are you running windows XP or vista?

Do you have activsync 4.5 or newer installed?

Have you tried putting the phone into bootloader mode (serial/usb on top, version on bottom) and run MA_Upgrade that came with the Helmi files?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] CHALFONTCOURIERS:
Hi Kasush

Nearly there hopefully.

I have load the files from the websites you sent me.

The problem I have now that i cannot get wifi to work & when i put my sim card in, the phone doesnt work.

I have the following info:

rom VERSION 6.10.00. WWE

ROM DATE: 2/27/08

RADIO VERSION: NONE

PROTCOL VERSION: NONE

EXTROM VERSION: XPLODE_7.00

I HAD UPLOAD VERSION 1.15 RADIO VERSION, BUT IT DOESNT SEEM TO HAVE WORKED.

ANY ADVICE WORK BE WONDERFUL.

THANKS

ROB
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Kasush:
For the phone not working soft-reset. Some say you need to soft-reset twice, but I have never had to. There is a flaw in WM6 that when you disconnect the battery then connect and boot it fails to load the phone module. After booting a soft-reset will load it no problem.

For the wi-fi issue. Goto CommManager and click settings (in the lower right) and then click WLAN settings. Click turn on WLAN. This step loads the wi-fi driver. Now go to CommManager and click on wi-fi and it will work. This step must be done after EVERY reset/boot. But it only must be done once. after that you can turn on and off the wi-fi using only the CommManager as much as you like.

Glad to hear you got WM6.1 loaded and everything though.

Hello yours,

some apps displaying the menu key into the navigation bar. Some tweaking tools also offers an option to show these menu key generally. So far, so good. But when I touch on these button, the recent panel will be opened - every time. A restart changes nothing... I'm currently on V07.

Has anyone a solution for this?

On a german forum (android-hilfe.de) I found the same issue posted from another user, but these thread is still without any answers.

Many thanks in advance

It must be a bug in the official rom.

I use a tool called "menu button" in google play, it works well, if correctly configured (I do not show any menu, but I use the menu button in the notification bar of this app).

Hello again :)

Really often I use my phone as a media player, especially in my car, connected via headphones cable. Until now all works fine with all my devices, but with the Maze Alpha the sound is just in mono (left side) - with any app. In the android settings I disabled the sound reinforcement options but nothing is changed.

I know that the speaker plays sounds just in mono, but I found no hints in reviews that this is the same for headphones. If this device generally not able to play sounds in stereo, is this a big fail for the manufacturer.

So please check my issue and give me a feedback. I'd also be happy if someone can tell my a solution for this to get real stereo sounds.

Many thanks in advance and best wishes

I haven't try to use it directly with large speakers though. It seems that you might need an amplifier to get the right sound despite defaulting to a stereo sound system only. The secret is to sound issue in Maze Alpha is to get quality earphones.

Current news naming SM-N950U units from (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon); unlocked European (SM-N950F); dual-SIM (SM-N950D) versions. Reasons suggesting its Google Contacts app conflicting alongside Samsung contacts app. No actual statement yet.

Right.

So I uninstalled chrome.

Now the only lyrics app that is not working after a restart is the Facebook Messenger App.

So I'll just look for an alternative 3rd party app.

Has anyone tried enabling the Camera2 API on this device? Just found out that g5s plus doesn't have camera2 api, which pretty much sucks since this phone is able to use manual mode. I haven't tried it yet because my device isn't rooted and I don't have stock firmware (XT1805). For those who want to try, just make sure you are rooted and have a build.prop editor then add this line persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1. Give your feedback if it works.

[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] ~cyandrew:
Kinda unfair of what Moto did.

When I took a test from Camera2 Probe app, it returned this result. I don't know if this means that my phone has Camera2 enabled, all I know is it's supposed to be "Full" instead of "Level 3"
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Mîkòtø:
No level 3 means the best it gives full and plus access to Camera 2 API but the problem is you can't find single application that supports this level of access through system library :( SD 625 got hexagon 500 too so basically if someone spend enough time on Google camera than he/she might be able to successfully port fully supported Google camera with slow mo upto 120 fps , RAW support and HDR+ too not sure about ZSL

And I saw all Moto g5s plus models supports camera2 but it's not enabled for some models while some have it enabled outta box
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] ~cyandrew:
Wow, I have so much to learn. So that means that our only hope in taking better pictures is for moto to optimize the camera software? It's been a while since the last update of Camera Tuner, Moto Camera 2 was recently updated though.

Well I found this today it got few mods of Google camera which works on arm 32Bit too try the camera which says arm-arm64 only those will work with Moto g5s+

> I tried normal one high quality jpeg and raw one and, (All can be considered as beta apps cause they force close at some point)

> I can say high quality jpeg is good high noise reduction and decent pics close to natural colors in pics somewhat and,

> RAW is good too if u don't mind RGB color on blue side no natural colors in pics as it's more on blue side it's also lil more saturated in colors, noise reduction is mid lvl on HDR+RAW+JPEG (u have to enable this option in setting Menu of camera) and noise reduction is high on turning off HDR+ but it's still decent when u take nature's pic out side in daylight

Thanks for posting that screen grab of Camera2 Probe app! I was going to open a thread asking about the Camera2 API support level of the G5S Plus when I came across this. I'm interested in pro video recording apps and an app like "Filmic Pro" needs the device to have either "Full" or "Level 3" support, otherwise you can't even install the app. From what I learned about the G5 Plus it only had "Legacy" support level (the worst) which was very unfortunate but judging from your screen shot of the G5S Plus, Motorola/Lenovo finally upped their game! :)

I think if in this level 3 is possible to increase more lens aperture.
