Hello Funjet, I'm sorry, I have to post this one in English...

I think I finally figured out what I did! I extracted the laf.img file in order to get TWRP installed and since TWRP never installed, I now can't get into download mode.

The strange thing is that I have two laf.img files, one on my internal storage and one on my SDcard. The one in my internal storage is 16.5MB and the one on the SDcard is 32MB.

How do I know which one to install? Is there any difference at all? Could there be problems if I install the wrong one?

Thank you,

hello guys so i got s6 a few mouths ago didnt know if it was 920f or 920t,v,etc..

i had 920f before and it died from some water dmg anyways i wanted to root this one and use custom roms as before.

weird thing was in settings- about device it was 920f , it wasnt rooted i think android 6 was on it and some weird things like instagram from 2016 proly or smth. some chinese named folder empty btw and so on.. so i got my s8 port i used before got the twrp, root, went to download mode but it failed a couple of times its rly pain in the ass to get into download mode on this phone couse most of the times it will boot in bootloader after a 20 tries u get in download mode and there it says its 920v , in recovery , stock android recovery it says its 920f so i had no idea what do to , i went for v version i had no idea it was that bad with varizon apps and all those things. didnt even know v stands for varzion so i flashed android 7 with odin it didnt work, flashed android 6 it worked , phone boots up , but i had a varizon logo after samsung's logo , in that moment i knew i fu**** up. thers like 30 varizon apps i said ok nevermind lets get android 7 now, (btw i didnt rly care atm for custom rom i just wanted android 7, couse on the android 6 that was on the phone when i got it, update didnt work, u click check for updates, nothing happens.) so i go to check for update its says thers no updates for my device. ok lets try samsung kies now, it worked i got android 7 and all the varizon apps i didnt want, but i dont care i got it. So i still dont have a clue is this 920v or 920f i guess its 920v and i cant do anything with this phone , locked bootloader or whatever the problem is with v versions, i dont rly know. anyways the phone had 64 gigs of internal storage , now i have 16 only , i guess partiotions are fu**** up and i guess the only way to fix it is twrp and we on the 920v cant install twrp , so what do i do to get the rest of my memory back ? and how did this phone had android 6 without varizona apps and 920f on it if anyone knows ? and im sorry for long text , im rly mad this device i rly want to trow it from the 9 floor , and sry about bad eng , about that i cant do anything atm :D

Maybe I should just try another recovery i.e. TWRP but does recovery of different developer matter?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
Recovery does matter. If you are not on TWRP, are you on stock recovery? Then how did you flash Magisk?

Flash eng.stk's TWRP then reboot into TWRP and flash Magisk and then reboot to system.

Hello, I purchased a Nexus 6P off of eBay and the camera is having trouble focusing - all my photos come out blurry. I have another Nexus 6P that's still on Android 6.0 and the camera works flawlessly, every picture seems to come out sharp and in focus. This Nexus 6P I bought off of eBay is on Android 8.01.

The camera on my Android 6.0 Nexus 6P is version 3.2.045.

The camera on my Android 8.1 Nexus 6P is version 5.1.018.17740874.

What do you guys suggest I do?

[MENTION=8470331]elkbath[/MENTION] Camera still the same for me since day one. Maybe your glass is dirty or try a factory reset. Try a different camera app. I've had updates that have messed up the camera on other phones and a reset usually clears them up. Just make sure to do a Google sync or manually back up everything.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elkbath:
thanks for the quick reply. I tried factory resetting it to no avail. I've also tried the NX Camera, Open Camera app, and FxCamera app and they all seem to have the same problem with focusing.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elkbath:
after asking the eBay seller if he had experienced any problems with the camera, he was kind enough to send me this:

"No, I did not have any issues with this phone or camera. I swapped phones when I went to another provider. It has been sitting in the closet for a few months though and I did not look at the camera before selling since it was not a problem before when I was using it. If you are still having issues please let me know. I can refund you if you mail everything back and I will take a look and swap the camera if needed or I can just discount the purchase price since there is an issue."

what do you guys suggest I should do?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KimCheeZZ:
Look inside of the camera lens and see if there is moisture.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elkbath:
when you say look inside - do you mean to take apart the camera part and see if there's moisture?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wazzargdd:
Well no, I think he ment to look closely at the camera lens to see if its clear or foggy(moist).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elkbath:
oh alright got it.

to be fair, the camera on my eBay Nexus 6P isn't that bad, just compared to my original Nexus 6P it seems to be a lot less detailed and a lot harder to get in focus. If I try hard enough and take 2 or 3 photos, I can get pictures that are in focus. Could this be a software issue? I notice there's a difference in the way the HDR+ looks as well.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wazzargdd:
I'm using the latest update for nexus 6p. My photos look crisp and clear. Try to flash the latest image from google for your device.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elkbath:
Could you explain how to flash that? Do I need to be rooted?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wazzargdd:
You flash it via adb in recovery adb sideload filename.zip or if your do the oem unlock and allow flashing, you can use the flash all executable straight from fastboot.

[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] A Good Kid:
Which one is the best in performance wise and battery as well..
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
For sony Stockrom

-MM is best for battery life but many feature of N arent there so after a while I started missing those (specially the way N handles notifications)

- N is reasonabily ok with battery life (build .252 Dec17 (android 7.1.1). has alot of value added features, better notification panel to handle and once rooted with Magisk, flashing Sysconfig and Doze; it gives you 6hrs of battery life (heavy 4g usage)

- O is basically NOT for xperia X. or atleast Sony Stockrom on Oreo performs worse! gives you only 3hrs of batterylife (have 4g usage), device heatsup more and snapdragon 625 processor starts lagging. So after trying both OREO Builds released .364 and .19 (6feb & 25feb) I have downgraded my self again to N and I am gonna keep my device on N only.

OMNIROM

- I found Omnirom 7.1.1(Android) working wonder on Xperia X where battery life is concern! watched full 2hrs movies and the batter drops was only 20%

- however omnirom is basically on AOSP so no premium featurse. Xperia X becomes one of those lowfi android devices but if you install all the apps maybe you can live with it. (there is no xreality engine working for xperia x in omnirom so i kinda miss that Vibrant screen. but battery life is too good!

Good to all users of this phone model!

I decided to open this topic where I invite you to post any opinions about ROM-uril that you have discovered, or, if someone has a problem with her phone, post her problem here and the other members will try to help!

I personally bought this phone model a month ago.

I tried unlocking the bootloder, other than the official method, but I did not succeed!

2 weeks ago I unlocked the phone and I'm trying to get rid of the MIUI operating system, which is very indiscreet and possessive! (In my opinion !)

I've tried several ROMs made by developers, such as RR, Lineage, Cardinal, and Azot.

Now I use RR!

I liked the most.

The first problem I encountered was that TWRP did not remember the settings after rebooting the phone.

I changed several ROMs, the problem is left! :(

I have changed several TWPR variants, the problem is left! :(

I installed the MIUI ROM "miui_HM4XGlobal_V9.2.3.0.NAMMIEK_7.1" with Mi Flash, the problem is left! :(

I've resolved the problem by returning to "factory settings"! :)

But I found two more problems!

1- screen does not rotate (settings are approved)! :(

2- I can not save information on the card! :(

- If I want to download pictures from my clod account directly on the card, it does not work!

- If I want to take pictures with the camera and the pictures (clips) to be saved directly on the card, it does not work!

- If I want to save notes from "Notes" directly on the card, it does not work!

What to do ?

I'm waiting for suggestions!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atronid:
INTRODUCTION

Have you ever dreamed to get not any device but YOURS on the wide screen of your computer? Create a custom ROM and emulate it, or just check another custom ROM compatibility virtually without having to flash and risk your everyday tool? Well I did and I still do!

In the old times this was possible but, unfortunately, it's no longer the case. Since our beloved mobile devices got more features, system has become also more complex. This is why we can't run a custom ROM only with system and data images as before anymore. Unless you still want to develop on Gingerbread and below — seriously? — we need to move to another solution.

And this is what this project is for!

According to the fact that we're not all pro developers and / or we're not all rich enough to buy multiple devices in case of brick, I think such project is necessary to avoid taking stupid risks like we do now.

ORGANIZATION

Currently the project is committed under the name of "AndROMega".

It is planned to work under the Windows and Linux environments. An eventual port for Mac OS isn't envisaged for now but still welcome if someone wish to work on once a version is released.

By the way, this project being free and open-source, everybody can join, improve it but thieving (including copying then claiming project as-is / unmodified is your and, worse, selling this common work) is absolutely UNALLOWED. This must still free, open-source and mention the original authors (me and other devs eventually joining) in case of copying to make custom release. All of this juridical stuff will be put in a license file as usual anyway.

The QEMU emulating software will be used to facilitate the cross-platforming of the project software. It is fast, powerful, reliable, and, moreover: FREE.

Edit: Great new! Editing a custom Android emulator from scratch won't be in the question anymore!

A Github repo has been created allowing to run a stock AOSP Android ROM, so one step is made :)

Link to this repo: https://github.com/aosp-mirror/platform_external_qemu

So what do you mean by custom rom environment builder? Do you mean when you port a rom and it has glitches and the environment fixes it or what? I'd be happy to help with this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atronid:
I don't really understand your question, but I'll sum up what the project is, hoping it will help you understand.

It's nothing more or less than a tool that mimic hardware and specific components and architecture of a phone model. It is supposed to be more than an AVD, allowing you to literally flash a custom ROM and debug it virtually instead of having to buy the phone, flash it, screw everything if something goes wrong, restore backup, etc.

Back when I got this idea (before it got forgotten among the million projects I have) I thought the hardest part was to get the core component of every phone (ramdisk, ROM, bootloader — assuming it's possible, otherwise "create" a replicant) and get the hardware spec mimicked with QEMU. Now I grew a bit and got a new-featured phone (seamless partition system that was pretty new to me), I know it will be even more complicated.

Since I'm not really available this year because of my exams, this project will still idle for a while. But I won't abandon it, so if the principle interest you and you're ready to give a hand you are welcome !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NonStickAtom785:
I'm In!

Well this is a very interesting idea. It would be very useful for the rooted phones that don't have any custom roms already built.

Maybe you wouldn't have to get the core components of every phone all at once. Maybe it you could make the program to extract a twrp or cwm backup, and have a database of all the ramdisks and chipsets that the program will have access to.

I think this project is very useful and I would like to start in the development of it or aid you in it. PM me with more details :good:.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atronid:
Yes, backup extraction and component database was the original idea :)
