Stock ROM can boot temproot kernel only if old enough version to not have the bootloader locked OR you unlocked the bootloader after, to get the temproot kernel go to the PACEified thread and read the install instructions, it has you booting the temproot kernel on order to flash it and it might be possible to just boot it, root and reboot but I am not entirely sure, if the Amazfit has dm-verity it will refuse to boot after altering the system, I actually didn't think about that when I wrote this guide cause it was 5AM so would recommend flashing a custom ROM.

[MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION] does the Amazfit have dm-verity?

Also would you consider adding SuperSU to PACEified in the future?
[Amazfit] Ranomez:
Double post cause mobile XDA is messed up, delete.
[Amazfit] Ranomez:
To be honest MiXplorer just about works but isn't really 100% usable cause things don't fit on screen, looking for a better root file explorer for the watch.

The stock kernel doesn't really allow you to control much cause the stock kernel doesn't seem to have too many features but can still change governor and a few other stuff and if nothing else it can enable init.d if you don't already have it enabled, I use the Kernel Adiutor 4 Wear version but TBH I think the normal one should be just as usable.

For your battery problem you could try deleting some unneeded apps like the Mi Home or the Chinese radio one (if on Chinese ROM/PACEified) and maybe Greenify will also work but wouldn't really put my bets on it, perhaps try using some battery saving scripts?

Right now I'm looking for an apk installer...I have a solution already but it's probably the worst one possible: a init.d script that checks if there are apps in a folder on the internal storage then installs all of them and deletes the apk files but that means you need to reboot in order to install apps, could make crond run the script every hour or so but that would also not be too convenient so either a script runner or a apk installer would be best.

BTW after uninstalling apps from the watch using a root app you need to crash the launcher or it will still show the icons for the uninstalled apps.
[Amazfit] Ranomez:
Also I'm working on improving the script to add safety checks (if someone tries to run it without the other files in the same folder right now it would most certainly end up in a mighty bootloop, fortunately a bootloop with adb access so easy to fix but still not great, I made that script in like 5-10 min after I manually did it on my own watch) and add more features like installing a newer busybox version and linking missing applets (unzip for example).
[Amazfit] Ranomez:
Updated 2nd post with a few useful apps, one of them finally giving us the power to install apps straight on the device, will publish the new version of my script in a few days, have been working on adding A LOT of new features and now I kinda need to concentrate on the project for my Android class for a bit, sorry for the delay.
[Amazfit] jmpcarceles:
Hi Ranomez,

When do you plan to publish the new script for local root?

Thx in advance.

Merry Xmas.
[Amazfit] Ranomez:
Most probably next week, haven't really had time to work on it with the last week of college before the holidays and the fact that I bought Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on launch day and it's been eating most of my free hours, lol, sorry for the delay, anyways the current script still works for simply rooting but will give a no such file or directory error if init.d isn't already enabled, just ignore that.
[Amazfit] anox:
Thank you [MENTION=2621033]Ranomez[/MENTION]

I've just tried your local root using the temproot kernel on the latest stock rom, and it worked great. So, I can say my pace doesn't have dm-verity enabled?
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
btw, SU was added to Stockfied, Pacefied and Stratosfied, just needs to be enabled.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Lord_Snake:
A couple of days ago, my Mi 5 just started with funny lines, and after 3 minutes it just became unreadable.

It was very strange because it didn't feel down or got any hit.

After searching about other phones, everybody says that it is hardware problem and I must replace the screen, which I already bought it and I'm waiting for it.

Could this happened due to some software configuration?

Other user (@gowtham300) also said that the display could have burned out be due to the charger. I was charging the phone directly from an USB output of a Belkin Surge protector as the one attached... Could it be because of it???

Thank you for the support.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] pi4a7a:
The best way to charge a phone is by its original charger and cable.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] gowtham300:
Other thread ok the plausible reasons are this

Mi5 metal is not very hard if you had a case that was very tight or one that digs in the corners it might be a reason for display wire dislocating

2- before the heat up did you feel the display heat up

3- another reason for this is 3000ma charging. Although quick charging 3 standard is 3000ma it's not a good value USB type c standard dictates only 2400mah and mi5 connectors or ports are not of the highest quality this leads to charger USB c cable ruining without any damage all of a sudden the cable wouldn't allow fast charge besides that the display cable is near the USB port on mi5 so when it heats up the display cable which is near also gets hot which might damage the cable resulting in this as to fix this issue miui included a charging fix since August 2017 mi5 will only charge at 2500ma till 20% or so then at 2200ma till 55% or so then 1900ma till 75% so on and so forth they limited charging speed in a way that won't prolong the charge time 1.5 hour for full charge. It is possible that maybe because of all this issues Samsung never used qc3 on their flagships HTC limited qc3 since beginning even on HTC 10 and 11 the market 40%, pixel 2 xl and use their own charging standards one plus also does the same

Hi!

I'm looking for a solution for internet sharing. I wan't to share my internet over an ad-hoc network. The source of the would be my the ICS on the PDA.

The reason I'm not using WMWifiRouter is , because it can't create a protected network.
[Touch Cruise General] catch:
WMWifirouter causes bug

There is another reason not to use WWifiRouter. In my case it screwed up network scanning totally. After I started WMWifiRouter I was not able anymore to connect to my home wifi. My Orbit 2 stopped scanning the wifi channels!

I was fiddeling around with that circumstance for about 2 weeks. I could reproduce the problem and figured out, that WMWifiRouter caused that bug. After I deinstalled the program everything works reliable and stable.

By the way, I love WMWifiRouter but it's worthless as long as it causes the above mentioned prob. The programm itself works fine. Unfortunetly it's not free anymore.

[Samsung Gear S3] Grassyhopper:
Hi All,

I just got myself a Gear S3 Frontier LTE after almost getting a Fitbit, this watch is grate! but I have noticed that the Altimeter is kinda off and wonder if I am doing something wrong...

I am using auto calibrate the Barometer is OK at 1029hPa, only slightly off from the local weather station (I guess this is because accuweather uses a different weather station?) but the Altimeter is very strange at my current location the ground level should be 2m above sea level and i am at least 5-6m off the ground on the 1st floor but the alt meter is at -10...

Am I doing something wrong, should I just manually calibrate it, if so how often should I do so? How do you find sea level pressure(sorry im new to this stuff)?

Current Tizen version: 2.3.2.3

Thanks all!

I am considering buying a s3 frontier on a private seller app (5miles). I am on sprint and the watch came from att. I don't have any intentions on using it to make calls from it, other than when my phone is on or around me. Should I have any issues with this? Also, is there anything I should be careful of?
[Samsung Gear S3] adfree:
IMHO if you not use or not need Modem function...

Then maybe better to buy SM-R760...

You have more support in community...

SM-R765 is bad supported from S.msung...

Example 1.

None of these devices have now Tizen 3 Firmware update...

Example 2.

If you trying something to repair at home...

You have no Software nor any other kind of help for SM-R765...

Only as info.

Is only my opinion.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Ken_Thang:
Hi all,

I've gotten this weird issue where my touch screen would freeze momentarily and randomly whenever I play some games (i.e. Scribblenauts Unlimited, NFS No Limits, GTASA, and Dead Trigger 2). While unlocking and waking up the phone would fix this issue immediately, I find these freezes to be extremely annoying. Interestingly, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp seems to be free from this issue. In addition, I've never experienced it outside of games.

Initially, I did suspect heat to be behind it, but then I found out that those freezes also happen whenever I just boot up those games (and therefore the phone is yet to heat up). Anyone has any idea on what's going on here? I really hope it's not some kind of funky HW defect.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Ken_Thang:
OK, here's an update: I'm quite positive that this is a software issue. Just had the freeze again but I could access notification shade. The shade worked and I tried to open up setting menu, and it worked. Now, the touchscreen worked flawlessly in setting and the subsequent home menu... and when I went back to the game, it froze again.

And I think this one's also relevant: a user over at reddit said that their screen would also freeze whenever they touch the phone's back while playing. Well, I happen to not touch the PH-1's back whenever I'm playing Pocket Camp thanks to its portrait orientation...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] stinger4321:
Interesting.. i have never had it freeze but have had the phone in a case since day 1 with a screen protector..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Rodeojones:
While I use one for work for extra protection, I hate cases and take it off as soon as my shift is over. But I like to have a little scratch protection, so I've been using skins since the Nexus 6.

Anyway, I've bounced back and forth between Slickwraps and Dbrand. Both have been decent, hit-or-miss customer service from both notwithstanding. Slickwraps has a 60% off sale currently, so I figured I'd order one for my Penguin Pixel arriving next week. But, unlike Dbrand, they offer regular gloss as well as matte for their black/white skins. Anyone ever try both? How's the texture? I'd like a little anti-slip feel. The pictures appear to show a textured finish for the regular/gloss finish, and a smooth finish for the matte (this seemed opposite to me, as I assumed the matte would be more textured). Anyway, if you happen to have some feedback, I'd appreciate it.

Also, please refrain from replying if your intent it to bash either company. I'm looking for a comparison of the two finishes, not a review of the companies. Thanks.

I rarely need a powerbank since I'm usually near a power source. The exception is when I'm traveling and driving a car is not the optimal way to get around. In this case I'm often using Maps on my phone a lot while walking. This is exactly the situation that you don't want to run out of battery. I hate carrying a heavy brick so I found this EECO compact lightweight USB C powerbank that charges my phone fast (charging rapidly). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075N31QWW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for $13. It has one USB C female connection that charges and discharges the power bank. You can just plug it directly into your Pixel 2 wall or car charger. I tried lots of power banks that wouldn't charge rapidly, this one does. It comes with a USB C male to USB C male cord.

i a m going to buy it but i would understand if the gps is quite precise or not.... some reviewers say that the gps is not so much precise, compared to other gps watch or the gps if every smartphone.
[Amazfit] frofa:
define your level of accuracy! I use it often, and it is precise with some small error (because it sometimes "cuts" corners). If around 2% error is totally unacceptable for you, the BIP may not be the device you'll be happy with and you'll have to get a professional device that costs three to four times the price. I would say: for everyone without out-of-this-world expectations it is more then precise enough.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepepperman:
Hi all, my Moto X Pure is running a stock Nougat 7.0 ROM, rooted with Magisk. In my settings I am unable to access the mobile hotspot functionality.

In Wireless & Networks > More, clicking on "Tethering & portable hotspot" does nothing, won't go into that submenu.

By adding the Hotspot shortcut to my Quick Access area in the notification drop-down, and long-clicking it, I was able to get into the "Tethering & portable hotspot" submenu, but clicking the Portable wi-fi hotspot toggle doesn't do anything. I can apparently set up the wi-fi hotspot but that's it. Is this a known issue? Is there anything I can do to enable it? I'm on AT&T but the phone is unbranded/unlocked.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepepperman:
I used a TWRP recovery file as I recall.

Wifi and bluetooth work normally, I've had essentially no other issues with the phone in the past 6 months.

I'm just reading that Nougat seems to restrict tethering access in a lot of cases and the workaround is editing the build.prop file. Is that the case?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepepperman:
Well I solved this myself, thanks to Google. Thanks StankFiss for your suggestion though.

I used this guide from Gadgethacks, adding a line in the build.prop file. I used the BuildProp editor app which works since I'm already rooted, and added this to the end of the file: net.tethering.noprovisioning=true. Rebooted and Wifi tethering is enabled and works properly.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepepperman:
Well, apparently I DIDN'T solve this myself lol. Although the tethering works, editing the build.prop file breaks the camera - as in, it force closes even after multiple restarts. Other camera apps hang as well. The only solution was a boot & system restore using TWRP. So, back to the drawing board for a way to have both tethering and camera... :rolleyes:
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepepperman:
So, final post. Taking StankFiss' hint, I found the NPH25.200.22 thread and did a fresh install of that image. I was on NPH25.200.15 previously. Now the tethering works as intended and I've got all my other stuff working again too.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] anySmarterIdRunLinux:
No band 13 means???

Help a dummy out. Does the CDMA support mean the 5t can make phone calls and the lack of band 13 mean LTE performance will suffer?

If so, that sounds like my VZN supported phone.. It may not be a downgrade in service.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
"Verizon Wireless was the first to arrive to the 4G LTE race and it has also built its nationwide network based on 700 MHz spectrum, but the primary band for Verizon is band 13. Bands 2 and 4 are used to strengthen the signal in the densely populated urban areas. One important thing to note about Verizon Wireless is that many phones are built specifically for the carrier, including its 4G LTE bands. In other words, the common case is that you will not be able to use an AT&T device on Verizon's 4G LTE network."

I've never tried my OnePlus 5t on VZW as the posts I've read said the phone is basically useless on VZW.
