I believe it does. Haven't seen any reports of it not going back to 100% when going back to stock.

I personally have not rooted. There are ways to do what I need to do without root. Just make sure that if you choose to root and will be using the SamFail v2.5 root method, read all that you can and search. Try not to ask questions over there unless they haven't been asked. You will get flamed big time.

Don't mind helping if you get stuck somewhere.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] jlechner:
Roger that.

Yeah, thankfully this wouldn't be my first root rodeo by any means.

I mostly use root for bloatware removal and a handful of xposed modules. Xposed isn't working yet anyways so hopefully there'll be a future with that (or at least some form of alternatives.)

Thanks for the info guys!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] jbuggy1:
Me personally i love rooting my phones to get a personal touch. But for once I really don't need to root this phone right now. Because i can still get the hotspot for f*** and use nova for a different launcher and they have most things for me to customize like screen savers, different ringers get rid of some annoying toasts popups except for the vol up warning which I can live with. Plus the Samsung pay is the deal breaker for me right now for rooting. Because it is convenient especially when I forget my wallet while at work or a quick run to the junk food store. Till there is a work around like on the note 4 for android pay I used to own before I upgraded to the 8 I'll be a lame stockboy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] smiley45:
There Is no need to root the n8.. but give it a try .. my two cents is the device seem slower and the apps that you install for root you wouldn't really miss. The Pro of rooting is you can change system files around to your liking and add futures that normal you wouldn't get for free. For example, I would have to pay Sprint to use spam identifier caller ID that normally Samsung would give you for free....

As the title states, I have been working on a universal patch that will correctly fix network and data functionality with the International Note 7 Ported ROMs. The first release will be available soon for the Sprint Note 4 SM-N910P. I will add support for Verizon and T-Mobile Note 4's very soon. This will work for International Snapdragon Note 7 ROMs such as Norma, Apocalypse, Nemesis etc, etc. However I will need a few knowledgeable and reliable testers who can follow instructions and give accurate feedback. I need Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile testers so share this thread if you want to get more attention to this project. As of right now The patch is working beautifully for Sprint. It's in it's final stage of testing. I am currently on Verizon and have bought a factory original "like new" Verizon Note 4. I will be adding Verizon Note 4 support very soon. Then I will do T-Mobile. This is an "All-in-One" recovery flash-able patch with aroma scripts so you can choose your carrier, flash it and forget about it.

I have one person who has helped test from the beginning since I don't have a Sprint Note 4 anymore. Thank [MENTION=4948028]Zaileion[/MENTION] for this patch because it was him who asked me for help with this task and he helped test for many long hours. If you want to help test and have some basic knowledge then join me on my private Telegram group at the link below Anyone who's interested in Snapdragon Note 4 development can join! Don't forget to tell us your XDA username so we will know who you are. On Telegram and Hangouts I am Mr. Wonderful. Why? Because I am wonderful. :laugh:

Join my Telegram on your phone and PC for instant messaging and file sharing during testing and for current and future projects. Public release of this amazing patch relies on the number of people interested as well as testers. Please don't send me PM's here at XDA on this topic. Use Telegram instead for faster communication during testing and troubleshooting. See you there! https://t.me/joinchat/Ef0Y8Q1CnSjpKrKsQX7_Ow

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] gbuscrizist:
Hey all, I was wondering if some one wanted to be very kind and provide a backup of emmcblk0 for me. I bricked my Z2F by some silly means. I am hoping to not have to have motorola replace it for money because it is in the dreaded Qualcomm USB Loader 9008 mode and thus fixable, technically. Ive read some success with moto Z and moto X for writing a backup of the emmc to an img file and writing that to an SD card.

I really want to contribute to the Z2F, but I cant really do that with a dead device.

You may ask, how did I brick my phone if I followed the rules. Turns out you cant switch to slot b in TWRP, otherwise you get a boot loop, and then try to use adb to switch back to slot a. You must flash a ROM again for it to not enter the 9008 mode. I found out the hard way, and I would hate to spend money on a replacement device if the current one is still salvageable.

Thanks for helping me through my momentary stupidity.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] the show stopper:
How do you make a emmcblk0 back up?

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:
I recently learned of SUHIDE. I see it has been around for a few months but no discussion in the G2015 forums. Installation instructions I see are here. I am curious if anyone has tried it on their G3 and if it was successful. I understand Chainfire no longer supports SuperSU, but the latest version is more recent than Lenovo's Marshmallow. And I thought it would be easier to stick with SuperSU than reverting to stock and installing Magisk.

[MX Player] HbbS:
Hi there,

I need some help in order to make use of MXPlayer as a player for my TVHeadend streams on Android.

I have a TVHeadend Server setup and working perfectly on my Raspberry Pi Zero. I'm used to watching these streams on a RPi 3 running OSMC/Kodi without issues.

Here's where I am stuck. I want to use MXPlayer to use these .ts streams to no avail. I only get a garbled image and a chopping sound.

[IMG="screen capture on Android"]https://i.imgur.com/uXaAtag.png[/IMG]

I am in Brazil. Here we have as a Digital TV standard a variation of ISDB-T, called ISDB-Tb.

I know it uses H.264 and AAC.

Both AFAIK are supported by mxplayer pro.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Bug Report pls.....
[MX Player] HbbS:
Sorry.

I am new to this.

Should I post this to another thread or provide the logs here?
[MX Player] HbbS:
I have attached the logs,

Also, As I get home today, and sampled a .ts file. I've noticed that MXPlayer Pro can play this sample as you'll find out.

But it cannot stream it. It is NOT a bandwidth issue. I know that because the default video player can play (without sound) the same streaming coming from TVHeadend.

Hope that helps

[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
I have tried to stream the video from a remote location & couldn't find any such issues.

The logs in your report are only a few lines. Looks like some other process is generating more logs & MX logs are getting erased before you collect the report. Can you increase the log buffer size in developer options of your device & collect the logs again after reproducing the issue?

does it happen with all decoders?

basically, HW decoder uses the same media player API used in stock video players. So, it should behave exactly same as your default player in most of the cases. What about HW+ & SW?
[MX Player] HbbS:
Here is the log with increased size (4MB)

I have tested with HW+ and SW.

With HW+ it behaves basically the same as HW with the difference that it plays a couple of seconds more before stalls with a garbled image.

SW: it plays, sort of, losing A/V sync. Unwatchable.

Hope that helps;
[MX Player] sd3w23ASTV:
same here, instead of that if I save the stream to local storage, mx player can play A+V with HW

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] reganEZ:
Hello XDA members,

I have looked around on the internet and XDA and I couldn't find a satisfactory answer to my question so here I am.

1. What is the function of Kernel?

2. What is the advantage of custom kernel over stock?

3. Is Kernel something that I just install and forget? or do I have to make edits. If edits then what sorts?

I am using latest TWRP, Pixel Exp with magisk. About to try the xposed beta. Thought get more in depth to get max out of my device.

Thank you all in advance.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bazinga137:
1. A kernel is the "core" of the OS, a piece of code that acts as a mediator between the hardware and software in your phone. It decides how your apps can use the hardware, it manages your CPU's and GPU's clock speeds (lowering them in low usage and raising for resource - intensive apps) and manages the voltages your components operate on. It also reserves RAM space for apps, decides on which CPU cores an app will run, etc. Everything you do, all input sensors, everything your apps do, and all your phone's output information goes through the kernel.

2. Custom kernels are customised kernels, tweaked to the liking of whoever created them. The benefit of custom kernels is that they are usually better optimised, they handle and distribute your phone's resources better than the stock kernel, which can give you better battery life and performance. It can also be changed to allow overclocking, meaning higher CPU or GPU clock speeds. Paranoid Android roms use a kernel that is extremely well-optimised for Qualcomm's chipsets, probably the best kernel for our device.

3. As for edits, some kernels are made to be better optimised for your device, providing a performance/battery life improvements out-of-the-box. Most kernels come with an app, giving the user control over how their kernel behaves by allowing manual tweaks, where you can raise/lower CPU and GPU clock speeds yourself. They also add some functions, things you couldn't change on a stock kernel, and some add extra CPU governors to choose from. Governors are behaviour models for your phone's CPU, they define how your CPU acts, how fast it raises clock speed under load, and how fast it lowers it back when high processing power is no longer needed. For example "performance" governor will always keep all cores at a maximum clock speed (which draws loads of energy), while "powersave" will reduce clock speeds to a minimum. Custom kernels usually add custom made governors that aim for performance, battery life, or balance of the two.

There are many more tweaks to the kernel, like memory-management, which tells the kernel when to kill bacground apps, and how many apps can remain open in background (in RAM) before getting killed.

As for if you need to change stuff in the kernel, most of the time they come preset to the values the kernel creator thinks is best, so probably no, but you sure can benefit from researching the tweaks and creating custom profiles if you need to squeeze maximum battery life from your phone when your battery is almost dead, or you want to play some intensive games and need every bit of power your phone can give you.

In my opinion, Moto G5 plus has a pretty decently tweaked kernel, but since it heats up very little and has great battery life it has some overclocking potential. It should probably be able to handle a boost to 2.2GHz like on Snapdragon 626, which seems exactly the same as 625 just with a higher clock speed.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] juiceppc:
I'm soooo on the fringe of buying this from Amazon but the ONE thing keeping me is the fact of taking phone calls in private. First off I HATE bluetooth headsets. I only want to carry my device. Nothing else... With that said are the speakers on the Advantage located so as I can put my ear up to it and cancel out the sound so others can't hear what other people are saying? Or are there dual speakers on the side which would make it quite hard?

Does anyone out there with an Advantage use it like this to take/place calls? Man I'm about to pull the trigger I just can't stand it doesn't have an earpiece...

Is there a super flat bluetooth headset I could possibly attach to the back?

I honestly don't talk that much on my phones mostly data and stuff but when I do need to talk I'd rather not have everyone else hear it...

Thanks.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] raskell:
No respectable Athena owners would put this phone up to their face. I use the LG Stlye-I as do others. I agree with you that the BT Earpiece is way over done and in some instances rude to wear.

Having the Style-I for the Athena gets loads of attention as most folks believe that it is your phone (and it's quite the piece). It is smaller than an average hi-lighter pen, has great battery life and a nice caller ID display. Only downside is that it rings quietly and does not have a vibrate mode.

Check e-bay as they run $30 or so depending on the listing.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
I'm one of those who are not respectable, and I can't care less if I look like a nut to others. I do turn my volume to the lowest though, but that won't silent it enough. For calls which are important,I do pluck in my wired headset which I use for mp3 anyway. For VOIP I always use wired headset to prevent echo to the other party.

My advice is for you to buy other type of PDA instead of Athena if you are very strongly against using headset (need not be bt, wired will do very well) and feel bothered holding it against your face .

Regards.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] tfotherby:
I have a bluetooth headset and the wired microphone but I often just use my Ameo straight up to my face. It works ok but does look silly and you have to mess around with the volume. Not good in a quiet office environment because others will hear.

Summary: Possible but NOT ideal!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] tootallk2000:
When going grocery shopping it's a bit ackward to put the phone to my ear and maneuver with 5 plus bags at the same time. I like to keep my hands free, and IMHO the Athena Is just a big too big to keep it to my ear, not only that the volume just isn't low enough to make the conversation private. As eaglesteve stated your best bet would be to get a different wm device. The phone is truely not a 1 handed device, however do keep in mind it has one of the biggest screens available on mobile devices. Just my 2 cents.

Oh and btw there's a seller on ebay stating he has 10 units available at $450 USD and the sale is ending in about 2 hrs. Hope this helps, here's the link:

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eagle 1:
Like others have said, holding the phone up to your ear does work, but people close can hear your whole conversation.

I use the LG-StyleI and it works great. Leave your advantage on your belt (buy a tuff-as-nuts case) and answer and call using the style-i. You right the screen is great. I also have many winmo phones and the screen on the advantage can't be beat.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] PxDxA:
I am an occasional phone user. Nobody wants to talk to me ;-) But the sheer joy of owning one of these beasts far outweighs any inconvenience when using the phone (for an occasional user). The screen is large enough to make all the hype about watching videos, reading books, using spreadsheets, viewing website pages, playing hi res games, etc practical and enjoyable. BUY IT!

Athena up to my ear for tellyphone conversation

To juiceppc ,

i own an athena since January 2007 and have been frequently making & receiving calls by putting either my left ear or my right ear near to the right speaker like the Nokia Engage handphone and my mouth not so near to the mic on the left bottom of my athena with both speakers volume and mic volume to the maximum , and in my country - Malaysia i can talk using this way with 100% clarity in a quite enviroment or about 60% to 70% clarity on outdoors but 40% to 50% clarity on jobsites / noisy enviroment. Sometimes i encounter some breakups and cracking calls but other than that i think it's okay for my usage. You can always adjust both volumes to suit your calls but you may need some practise to get the hang of it. I hope this helps & sorry for very late posting :)

Also later today we were updated with the latest news about the face unlock feature which has been in news from the Iphone X and Oneplus 5T.

Huawei announced about it being available for Honor 7x similar to the Oneplus 5T since there are no special sensors like that of Iphone X.

Hoping it to be updated with Oreo in the Q1 of this year.

No, as it wasn't just a backup service.

Robin's cloud storage did more than just dumping data in cloud. Its cloud storage archived the media as to save space just like Google Photos does now. And it also made sure the photos which are old and not seen for long time are the ones only archived in cloud, this made sure that the recent and most viewed photos from your gallery would still stay offline for quick access and save data. And for apps the cloud storage not only saved the app but also its data while still keeping the app icon greyed out in your device so on tap it could be restored easily and quickly. This guaranteed it would open in the last state it was used. It was done very methodically which no other services does yet.
[Nextbit Robin] LlanGboy:
Right its more an issue with the method of backing up rather than the backing up its self, shame
