[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] quad_bx:
Hi,

I recently got my M1 A1 from Elisa, in Estonia(packages says Global Version). I've been looking for a guide to enable camera2 API, and since I'm not interested in root or other functionalities, I figured I could only edit build.prop file in /system with the relevant

persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

line.

My steps so far:

1. Unlock the bootloader.

2.Temporarily boot into TWRP:

PS C:\platform-tools> .\adb reboot bootloader
PS C:\platform-tools> .\fastboot devices
28833e59 fastboot
PS C:\platform-tools> .\fastboot boot recovery-tissot.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.755s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.592s]
finished. total time: 1.353s

3. Mount /system from TWRP

4. Try to pull out build.prop:

PS C:\platform-tools> .\adb pull /system/build.prop c:\platform-tools
adb: error: failed to stat remote object '/system/build.prop': No such file or directory

At this point, I was starting to worry: wrong TWRP, /system was not mounted properly, etc.. But then I tried:

PS C:\platform-tools> .\adb pull /system/default.prop
/system/default.prop: 1 file pulled. 0.0 MB/s (893 bytes in 0.052s)

...and it worked perfectly:

persist.sys.usb.config=mtp

So, my question: where does that build.prop live or hides? And can default.prop be used instead for the same purposes as build.prop?

What other steps I've tried so far:

- factory reset(twice);

- full firmware flash with MiFlash(and factory reset after);

- different versions of TWRP(best one from here:https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75357241&postcount=817 )

Oh, and what I've noticed weird is this message, when invoking adb shell:

/system/system/build.prop :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] maross:
You should be interested in root in this case, because whenever you mount the system with write privileges which you do, you loose OTAs. Magisk let you to modify the system systemlessly and whenever you receive OTA, you can install it.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sidbyron:
sorry but which is the utility of OPR..?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] quad_bx:
I guess I'll just dirty flash new firmwares with MiFlash :). Maybe even restore original build.prop, MiFlash, then modify build.prop again. Rooting sometimes affects some apps, i.e. some banking apps won't install, Neflix won't let you download content, and so on.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] quad_bx:
It's just a naming convension for the firmware filename that Xiaomi uses.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
Just use Magisk with Magisk hide feature. You will achieve the same with less effort. Btw. direct modification of system will break Safetynet as far as I know, so you won't be able to install Netflix anyway [emoji846]
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] quad_bx:
Well, let's take for example TWRP installation.... The official variant does not work on the last Oreo build(internal storage size is seen as 0, can't install). And for Magisk, I could not find a detailed tutorial to follow.

Anyway, let me see if I can find the hidden build.prop and what happens. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] quad_bx:
So, I've found it. On the plus side, editing it and re-uploading it did not trip SafetyNet. But... camera2 API is not enabled :(

I've even managed to edit it twice, in system_a and system_b, same result. Rebooting, clearing the app cache for the apps where I wanted to get RAW shooting did not help either.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] DavideLosito:
I confirm build.prop is in /system/system after mounting it with TWRP.

I can pull it, change it, and push it, but nothing actually changes in the phone.

I confirm that going into "adb shell" generates that error.

Issue is: I DON'T WANT to install Magisk, I DON'T WANT to root.

I want auxiliary tele lens exposed to OpenCamera and gCam porting, and I want Whatsapp forced to use HAL1 specifics (as inner Whatsapp camera brakes after enabling Camera2api).

It means to convert this line:

camera.hal1.packagelist=com.skype.raider,com.google.android.talk

To this

camera.hal1.packagelist=com.skype.raider,com.google.android.talk,com.whatsapp

... and nothing more.

To me it sounds stupid to root, installa Magisk and leave the phone unlocked just to tell Whatsapp to use HAL1.

Also for exposing aux camera, it means to turn:

#Expose aux camera for below packages

vendor.camera.aux.packagelist=org.codeaurora.snapcam,com.android.camera,com.huaqin.factory,com.mi.AutoTest

#add by yaoshaorong for Expose aux camera for D2AO-892 for packagelist can't more than 91 byte

vendor.camera.aux.packagelist2=com.android.systemui

to

#Expose aux camera for below packages

vendor.camera.aux.packagelist=org.codeaurora.snapcam,com.android.camera,com.huaqin.factory,com.mi.AutoTest

#add by yaoshaorong for Expose aux camera for D2AO-892 for packagelist can't more than 91 byte

vendor.camera.aux.packagelist2=com.android.systemui,net.sourceforge.opencamera

But it simply doesn't work.

Is this the right file, or do we need to modify something else?

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Tinkerer_:
Can anyone point to LG download URL for Windows USB driver for US998U (unlocked open market) ?

(Not a third-party URL like mobileusbdrivers.com/2017/10/lg-v30-usb-drivers-download.html , I already found that in XDA V30 forum.)

I found the LG driver on support page for H930DS, but not sure it will work for US998U:

http://www.lg.com/in/support/support-mobile/lg-LGH930DS

The US998U LG support page does not offer software including USB driver:

http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-US998U-Unlocked

Want to make sure the correct USB driver for US998U will install in my ancient Windows XP machine before buying a US998U. (XP support is disappearing...)

TIA...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I used LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0.exe, universal LG drivers. Straight from LG website.

Or you can download supposedly model specific:

Go here.

http://www.lg.com/us/support/software-firmware-drivers

In "Search by Model", type in US998U and scroll down to US998 Unlocked.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Tinkerer_:
If the "universal LG drivers" work for you, then they work. Can you advise direct link to LG source? (LG website is a tangled mess of unnecessarily complicated *%^$#@ that apparently doesn't work correctly with all browsers and the information architecture is screwed up.)

I'd appreciate getting the universal drivers, because the installation process for the model-specific drivers does not give me confidence that they will work, either with respect to Windows XP support or US998 model. (There is nothing that states Windows XP supported, and the LG process requires bloatware installation to select, download, and install USB drivers, where the selection process is somewhat unclear - does one select the carrier-unlocked US998U by selecting "USA" in the mandatory "Carrier" selection?)

Thanks!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Oh, I thought you wanted specific US998 drivers. OK, I'll try to find the link to the universal drivers.

Yes, the LG websites are a mess.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Go here:

http://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/CT10000025-20150179827560-downloaded-apps

Click download.

You will be downloading LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0.exe -- unless LG updates that to a newer version.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Tinkerer_:
Thanks again.

I just want USB driver clearly identified as correct for my version of Windows, to connect to US998U carrier-unlocked V30. Whether a universal driver or specific, I don't care, as long as there is enough info to have confidence it will work with the phone if I buy it.

This would seem to be such a simple, common sense thing, commonly sought by customers, that LG would naturally make it available, with a simple, direct website that just works across all the common browsers, and simple download/install system. But no...
[Wileyfox Swift] dar72:
I have a Wileyfox Swift using GiffGaff in the UK. Everything worked fine, frequently got LTE speeds until I temporarily put in a new SIM into the second SIM slot to use a throwaway number, after doing this (and removing the temp SIM) I can no longer get LTE speeds on my phone. It now only connects with EDGE, HSPA and HSPA+ and frequently drops the connection entirely.

ROM - [ROM][7.1.x][Official] crDroid Android v3.8.5 [OMS][2018-01-17]

Radio image - radio-20161215-crackling.zip as recommended by ROM

Things tried with no improvement:

* Radio image from Android_7.1.1_Wileyfox_Swift_2017_04_21_TOS111B

* Various APN settings from GiffGaff website/forums

* *#*#4636#*#* - Setting LTE only drops signal completely

* *#*#4636#*#* - Setting any option containing LTE doesn't get LTE speeds

* New SIM from GiffGaff

* Updated ROM to latest version

* Wiped all partitions, flashed ROM and Gapps

* Put SIM into SIM2 slot

Any suggestions?
[Wileyfox Swift] Pak0St:
Is your currently active SIM in slot 2? I don't remember exactly but I think only SIM 1 slot had LTE connectivity.
[MX Player] largie:
Hi, thank you for MX player.

Used it for years, simply a great product :)

I'm currently working on a http-server project and it streams to a lot of media-players.

My server works perfectly with for instance Kodi and alot of other streamers.

I wonder how MX player handles seeks in a HTTP-stream?

My server sends the header to MX player: Accept-Ranges: bytes

MX sends to me: Range: bytes=0-

My server then with correct headers:

Content-Range: bytes 0-10561452647/10561452647

Content-Length: 10561452648

If I seek in MX the next GET-request for the file does not contain the: Range: bytes=x-

With information above MX should have what is needed to request for instance 50% in the stream?

Range: bytes=5280726324-

Trying to figure out if this is a server-issue or a MX-player issue.

Any tips?

Edit:

I have investigated further and found MX seeks perfectly when using the HW+ or SW decoder.

The seek does not work when you are using the HW-decoder.

Does anyone know if this is a bug or restriction in the decoder?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
HI,

HW+ & SW are MX Player's own implementations. Whereas HW decoder is just a wrapper for android mediaplayer API. So, MX ony has basic controls. If any errors on it, generally it's from the mediaplayer implementation on the device itsellf.

Some old android versions do not support seeking of ts videos. Not sure is it the case of yours.

We can understand it better if you can provide a bug report which is colllected immediately after the issue (from MX's help menu)

SO today I decided to fix my phone which was in a state of bootloop and a problem of its Recovery getting stuck when I try to get in.

The phone is a HTC Desire 728 and the device's bootloader doesn't have the fastboot option, when ever I try to boot it into recovery mode it always outputs a blue text saying that this is a developer option etc... Then the phone will just completely freeze.

I've tried to connect using ADB but it doesn't show up.

How to do that without unlocking BL?
[Nextbit Robin] marvelljones:
Not that I'm aware of, you might want to try a Factory Data Reset first. After doing the appropriate backups first of course.

If that fails, unlock the BL, flash stock. Once you verify it works lock the BL again. You might have to FDR again to get the Play Store to show Certified if clearing data under Apps doesn't work.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quizzina:
I installed TWRP by using Minimal ADB and Fastboot and I didn't obtain errors.

When TWRP asked me if I wanted to "allow write access to the system partition", I swiped for YES (but I'm not really sure, read below).

I used TWRP and I also did a backup (only to check if it works) then I reboot the smarphone in normal mode.

If now I switch-off the phone and I try to boot into recovery with TWRP I only obtain a green android lying on his back with his chest open and "NO COMMAND" message.

It seems that the normal boot deletes everytime the installation of TWRP.

I repeated several times the installation but every time that I switch on the phone in normal mode and then again I launch the recovery mode I always obtained the NO COMMAND error.

It is also strange that from the second installation of TWRP onwards the program doesn't asked me anymore if I wanted to "allow write access to the system partition" and for this reason I cannot be sure that I answered yes the first time (see above).

To understand if this is the problem can someone help me to check if I answered yes during first "allow write access to the system partition" question?

If this isn't the problem, how can I solve the NO COMMAND error every time I try to launch TWRP after normal phone's boot?

Sorry also for my bad english
