[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] Faivon:
So my phone totally can't be turned on ever since I downgrade MIUI rom. The state is now my phone can't be turned on as in not even reacting when I plug it to wall charger. I did my homework, I read around the forum and there are some things that are left unanswered.

My phone still can be detected in device manager as Qualcomm-- I downloaded MiFlash Tool BETA and the phone is detected in COM 3. Question is, I pressed and hold volume UP + DOWN + POWER until it's detected as Qualcomm but there's no indicator my phone is in EDL Mode. I read around and I have to keep holding volume UP + DOWN but as long as I hold them, my laptop create some sound like USB plugging in and out but my phone screen still turned off; Is there any other indicator that my phone is in EDL mode?

Anyway, I downloaded Fastboot ROM Stable Global and tried to flash it via MiFlash Tool but I always stuck at 'Cannot read from port COM 3' even though I already disable signature verification.

Help?

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] hgbutte77:
Hello,

I'm using lineageOS since one month and I have several problems.

1) after reboot some apps will be removed from phone, their configuration and some folder/files are still available but I can't find them anymore, after re-install from play-store they will start with the last configuration.

2) there are some apps like stocard, most of the security apps (e.g. avira, kaspersky, ...) and so on, they will work after installation, but one or two days later they will not start anymore (just close immediately after start), I tried to reset them or/and uninstall and install again but they will not start again.

3) I tried several weather widgets e.g. Transparent clock & weather, I made all my settings to this widget and one hour later all these setting are lost again. I have the impression that other apps have the same problem but mostly I can't start them again (see 2) )

Many Thanks in advance!

After months of investigation I've found my problem - it's the SDcardFix flash! The wrong SDcardFix leads into several permission problems which make the apps unusable - they were still installed but not executable. Since I'm using the SDCardFix of the app "apps2sd" everything is working fine.

[General Questions and Answers] Barly2:
The system alarm app that comes with Android will open a screen to snooze or swipe to stop the alarm. There is an option to use a physical side button to stop it. But this opens the homescreen, and if I stop it in my pocket, all sorts of evil things will happen. (Locking the screen isn't practical for me.)

So: are there apps that don't activate the screen when they sound the alarm or when they're stopped?

*/[/SIZE]

So LET'S BEGIN.

Step 1. DOWNLOAD ROM AND GAPPS

*ROM*

You need to download Lineage 14.1 rom from its thread and Gapps package which you can find below.

LINEAGE OS 14.1 THREAD

*OPEN GAPPS*

CHOOSE ARM64 platform,Android 7.1.1 version, and VERSION of package you want ( i recommend downloading pico version)

OPEN GAPPS PROJECT OFFICIAL WEBSITE

Step 2. DOWNLOAD MAGISK AND DOLBY ATMOS MODULE

*MAGISK*

Go to official Magisk thread HERE and download Latest Magisk zip (for now latest stable version is v14.0)

*DOLBY ATMOS MAGISK MODULE*

Download

Lenovo A7000 [6.5] Atmos (1.1.4)

from module thread HERE

Mirror download link with older version that is compatible with Magisk 14.0 *HERE*

Step 3. FLASHING ROM,GAPPS,MAGISK AND DOLBY MODULE

1. Reboot to TWRP 3.1.1.0 recovery (if you dont have this version you must flash it,download it from HERE)

2. Go to Wipe,choose Advanced wipe and check Cache,dalvik-Cache,System and Data. After wiping is done go to Install.

3. First choose Rom zip(flash it,then wipe cache,dalvik-cache),then install Gapps,then Magisk .zip and in the end flash Dolby Atmos module.

4. After you done flashing everything mentioned above, WIPE cache,dalvik-cache and reboot to system.

5. Wait for system to boot (it may take few minutes,be PATIENT!!!) and enjoy your now flying phone :D

6. After you setup phone open Dolby Atmos app and turn equalizer ON,and set it like on picture in Attachment.

THATS IT! :D

You now have lag free phone with loud speakers.

ENJOY!!

Is it necessary to use magisk..

Can i use super su?

You can.

I just prefer Magisk over Supersu. :D

Hi, after I managed to install it step by step... but why this takes a lot of time. The time has run more than thirty minutes and my device stays in boot lineage logo. Is it taking this much time or am I getting a bootloop or brick? :(
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] jepu:
I cant install the dolby atmos package. I already have lineage 14.1 and magisk 14.0. When I install the dolby package from recovery it says installation succesful but nothing shows up in my apps or magisk modules.
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] jatzio:
Try downloading the dolby atmos via magisk manager then flash it there. It worked for me. And don't forget to turn off the default android audiofx (i managed to force close it, then turn on the dolby atmos).
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] jatzio:
Thank you for this great guide, I have installed LineageOS, Magisk and Dolby Atmos succesfully on my m2note. However, root access provided by Magisk can't allow root apps like apps2sd or other to work.

Shoul I install supersu to gain root access like in my previously flymeos rom?
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] n0p3zz:
Dont install supesu(no point of instaling 2 superuser apps).

And which version of Magisk you flashed 14.0 or 15.3.

Root permissions on 15.3 doenst work on LOS atm,so flash magisk 14.0 and you will have proper root access for all root apps you want.
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] jatzio:
Ok thank you. I Flashed Magisk 15.3, then I tried reflashed it to Magisk 14.0. Now root access worked. Anyway, what if I wan to revert back to meizu stock rom/flymeOS, should I flash update.zip immediately or should I uninstall magisk first? This is just my curiosity
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] n0p3zz:
DONT flash Flyme update.zip from TWRP recovery. You will get bricked phone. You can flash Flyme from SPFlash tools or download TWRP flashable .zip from 4pda and flash it in TWRP.
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] jatzio:
Because some work-related urgency, I flashed update.zip from TWRP, carelessly swipe to reboot when a dialog of 'No OS installed, are you sure want to reboot' appeared. So I got my m2 soft-bricked yesterday.

However I'm lucky enough to revert back to flyme OS using SPflash tools and just checked preloader option while flashing. Now my phone 'usable' again. I will wait for Lineage OS future update, and stay on flyme at the moment, and no PKMN go for me again.

Thank you

[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] mdabar:
I installed the Lenovo Atmos file as suggested... but now I have all the time a screen message "Dolby cannot start" or something like that. So no working and need to do full wipe, as the message is re-appearing continuously :'(

Will keep trying.

Anyone knows how to do (increase volume) it manually? I don't have the "mixer_paths.xml" anywhere, neither the /etc/sounds folder

Thanks
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] mdabar:
Hi guys,

I wiped everything and start from scratch... Now I'm with Lineage 14.1-20180523 and despite I followed all the steps (Magisk + Dolby...) The sound is still way too low :crying:

I've tried manually searching the files and sound config, but nothing, they're not. And even tried modifying some of the existing files related to volume... But no changes either.

So I'll keep looking and trying for the moment.

Any ideas? How do you use the Dolby app?

I read that we have to disable the system's Audio FX app. I can't force stop it, but not disable it. And when I open and configure Dolby like in the picture, I don't perceive any changes. :confused:

Help please!

Thanks
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Adiker:
You need to download older version from GitHub... When I find a link I will provide it
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] mdabar:
Thanks a mill Adiker!! It worked, I had to go down to v14 then 15.3 and after that now finally listening music/radio worth normal good volume

:D
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Adiker:
I meant older Dolby Atmos :D But I'm glad you made it work for you.
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] mdabar:
The funny thing is that with Magisk 14 or even 15.3 the Dolby Atmos Module was not available in the list. But since I had it downloaded from before I could apply it. That's the why of so many test back and forth :-/

Also because, Magisk was updating to the latest version every time I opened it... which meant losing again the root, and having to wipe, uninstall Magisk, re-flash older Magisk, etc

But as you say... now it's happily working so it's worth it! :good:
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] mdabar:
Since I struggled a little bit over the whole process, I put below all the steps I followed in case anyone else is having the same trouble.

Install TWRP on your Meizu m2 Note

Install Lineage OS last version. I have 14.1-20180523 -> check here

Flash GAPPS (check your version on Open-GAPPS -> Arm64) -> here

Flash Magisk 14 (not a newer one! it lost the root for me) -> Magisk versions here

Wipe cache and Dalvik

Reboot the phone (it takes a few minutes)

Open Magisk (don't update it!) and check the root is ok, you can validate by opening ES Explorer or other app that asks for root permission

Reboot in recovery and flash Magisk 15.3

Wipe cache and Dalvik, it will take a few minutes again

Open Magisk (dont update!) and go to Modules (left menu)

Click on "+" and with the browser go to "Downloads"

Select the Atmos downloaded file, press and hold over the file until it's selected, then "Open" it. It will flash the version and reboot. You can download it from here

After Rebooting. Open "Audio FX" and disable it on top right. Then close the app.

Open "Dolby Atmos" enable the options you want/like and you'll see the difference ;)
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Bakica:
[MENTION=3764650]mdabar[/MENTION],

a few questions:

- how did you format your cache/data, ext4 or f2fs?

- does your magisk 15.3 'hold' root, what happens when you try to install a new app with the root requirement?

- did your modules 'stay alive' after reboot?

Thanks in advance
[Meizu M2 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] mdabar:
Hi Bakica,

Before installing LineageOS, from the "Wipe" menu I selected Dalvik, System, Data, Internal storage and cache (see the picture below). Because I wanted a totally clear installation. The image for LineageOS was on the microSD card.

You don't need to select all that. In may case, I tried with less options first, and after booting LineageOS I saw that many folders from previous FlymeOS and installed apps, were still there. And I didn't want any of them.

I didn't have to select any format, just marked the options mentioned above and swipe the slider.

I tried several (many) times with Magisk 16 and everything looked OK, but the root was gone.

With Magisk 14 it also looked OK, but when I opened any app it asked for root permission and appeared on the "Authorised apps" inside the Magisk Manager app. But it didn't allow me to install Dolby Atmos because the minimum Magisk version to comply with dependencies was 15.3.

I then rebooted into recovery, TWRP flashed Magisk 15.3 opened it, verified that the authorised apps were still rooted and then installed the module.

Then reboot and disable "Audio FX" , open Dolby Atmos and enable the options I wanted.

The sound is really loud and clear :D

Per my experience (believe I probably flashed more than 20 times), sometimes when you flash something it leaves traces behind. In fact I first tried with SuperSU because I knew it better. But any module didn't work.

That's why I wiped everything again.

Update - thread updated

Hello fellow m2 note users,

Its been a while since i used this phone.

Few days back friend of mine gave me his M2 note to install him Lineage 14.1 and Dolby atmos mod.

I had problems on newest Lineage build with older version of Magisk (eg 14.0) and newest one 20.4.

So, i installed newest build(25) and successfully rooted it with Magisk 19.3.

I used same module from 1st page of my guide and it worked with Magisk 19.3.

You can download Magisk 19.3 from official Github page HERE

Enjoy Dolby Atmos and higher volume ;)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chris2busy:
Dear all ,

Good morning.

I have been considering selling my aging iPhone 6s Plus and moving to android.

Mainly because of stale design(same as 3-4 years ago) and horrible/laggy/battery draining updates.

So about taking a dive back to android.

Before i got my 6s plus i had s7 edge. While i did like the phone overall , i had one major deal breaker for me. Heat.

I do not like a heating phone. I would use s7 edge for 20 minutes surfing the web via wifi and it reached 32-34 degrees (ambient temp 26). iphone would stay cool even if i browsed for hours.

So, my question to you guys, since you already posses the device, is : does the s8 plus behave thermaly the same as s7 edge ~~~clarification : In my area only the exynos variant is available.?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FloM94:
I cannot compare it to an s7 edge because I did not ever owned one but I can say no, absolutely not. I came from iphone 7 plus to the (normal) s8 and dont ever had the feeling that my device gets an uncomfortable temperature. During basic tasks like browsing, downloading and testing apps, whatsapp&facebook and so on it is "cold" - at least for me. Even when playing light games like clash royale (only game I play now and then) it doesnt come to an uncomfortable temperature, maybe 3-4°C warmer. The only situation the s8 gets really warm (and by warm I dont mean hot) is when charging through usb or qi, but I think this is physically unavoidable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RossTeagan:
Personally, I don't have an S8, but I used one for a couple of hours and it gets pretty warm.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chris2busy:
Thank you guys!

Just a clarification : In my area only the exynos variant is available.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FloM94:
yes, here in my area (Austria) is also only exynos available ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ikeny:
My S8 definitely heats up more with pokemon go compared to my iPhone 7.

By the way, if you think an S8 will get you out of lags and battery drains, read the threads in this forum from other users complaining the exact issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FloM94:
the s8 has also nearly four times the pixels to push than the iphone 7

and my s8 doesnt lag at all after 7 month and I have a custom rom on it, which I have heavily skinned and customized

get an iPhone X Plus if you're used to iPhones

MicI wouldn't recommend S8 or S8+, maybe Note 8, but I think you'll be happier with an iPhone X Plus if you're used to iPhones. Personally, I don't care for iOS at all. Android is way better than iOS, but I really think you'll like iPhone X Plus. :)

Note: Your experience with an Exynos S8/S8+/Note 8 might be better than mine with S8+ Snapdragon, because it really isn't convenient to have a locked bootloader and a rooted phone that only charges to 80%!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] CJ0206:
No lag so far on my phone, I came from the S6 and that used to heat up a lot (so much so I could use it as a hand warmer on cold days, and some times I could not hold it to my face on calls).

My S8 has stayed cool, it has only gotten warm once or twice, and that wasn't very much. I regularly surf, use social media, play Vainglory and Mobile Strike. I also stream to my TV every now and then and it's been good.

I have the regular S8 on Oreo Beta 2.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chris2busy:
Thank you,

So far it seems that s8plus does not have the same thermal attitude that exynos s7edge had.

I am tempted to make the move soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Jostian:
I've had my S8 for 3 odd months now, but I'm not a gamer, I've never had it heat up, I had teh G6 and iPhone 7 prior to this but hated the image quality of the iPhone, just a mushy mess when looking closer, the S8 is in another league IQ wise. iPhones are beautifully built but the S8 is equal to it these days. I'm very happy, I rooted my S8 only this week and am loving it, 60 odd hours between charges, 6 hours SoT (actually want much less before rooting) nothing more I could ask for. Superb device.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FloM94:
I also love my s8 and I also dont think I will upgrade to s9 when its released.

it has a small form factor (compared to other devices with that screen size), a gorgeous display, wireless charging, stereo speakers (with mod), is fast and snappy, has one of the best cameras, is water resistant,...

This phone has all I want and need

everything except the stock android ui experience. if this would happen one day, I think samsung phones would win another like 20-30% of "potential customers that are yet afraid of moving to touchwiz. I themed it as best as possible to stock pixel ui and I can live with it. Maybe samsung is making the move slowly over the years to go away from their playful icons and settings ui and closer to stock like sony or motorola/lenovo did.

Imagine the s8 with stock android - noone would buy pixel 2
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] CJ0206:
I agree, if it was stock and updated with the latest OS like the Pixel 2 (it will get more OS updates than through Samsung), then the Pixel 2 would have very few sales.

I went from iPhone 7 to S8 for a couple of months. S8 was a great phone, and I really enjoyed it (minus the fingerprint reader). I didn’t mind the new touch wiz, and the screen was absolutely amazing.

But then I got a really good deal for an iPhone X through corporate plan. At first, I wasn’t too excited to switch back. But I gave it a try anyway, and I’m so glad I did. It just felt so natural, simple and easy. It’s super smooth and the size is perfect for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Shan89:
Exynoss variant is cooler then snapdragon.

It's literally impossible to get Samsung phones to state of "hot " due very harsh throttling which starts at 36c which I'm yet to see on s8+

Anyway imo you should go for s8+ instead of s8. It has bigger screen, better battery and 2-3c in general lower temp due being larger A.K.A harder to get warm.

P.s. I'm playing daily NFS no limits on 4g max brightness never saw it reach 36c, average playtime for me is around 1hr per season.
