anyone use app battery saver like Grenfify or somthing? did grenfy can really saving battery with killing app on bcground or thisapp will darin battery too?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] que3jxp:
I had used greenify in the past but I have had my S9 (North American Snapdragon version) for well past a year now and still don't have any issues with daily use battery life. Even under moderate use, I can go 14 to 18 hours and I have even once, forgot to charge it overnight and still had almost 50% left in the morning.

I liked it when I had to use it to save battery but I just don't see the need in my life anymore.

I should note my wife also has the same model S9 and also has no issues with battery life.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] searcherrr:
Don't hold back the details. I "need" (not want)... "need" to know if I put Nougat on the Galaxy S6 if it will just make it ridiculously slow and unusable or could it actually improve it?

I do not believe in putting new software on old hardware, for all devices, but I would really not like to hear "guesses" - but people who know from others who have done it or who have done it themselves.

I want to put the Samsung factory unlocked Nougat on the S6. I'm not asking for instructions on how. I just want to know if its worth it.

Thanks!!!!!

Ok I don’t use my s6 full time. In fact it’s become my backup. I did use my s6 on android N prior to upgrading and had no issues with it running it at all.

In fact I still power it up and play with it now as I will no doubt use it again and I believe it performs very well to this day. I’m sure battery life is an issue regardless of what os is running as the battery in the device itself isn’t big! But I’d have no doubt about putting android N on it again given the choice.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] saifoufa:
So guys i made mistake in moto g5 plus i flash the wrong firmware moto z2 play and when i back to the old firmware it dosn't flash cause of security downgrade

Note : the 2 first step i mean , the rest all passed

the problem is gpt.bin changed all partition and can't back to old gpt.bin

i flash other wrong bootloader again to fix problem but it going to dead

i read about flashblink and i find solution in forum and it back to bootloader but the problem is stay in file recovery.img

it can't pass cause of small partition and the system stay in bootloop

Guys anyone know how to edit gpt.bin file ? i search in network but most of them speak about extracting it

i need to modify the partition of recovery cause it is 16484 kb and i need 22000 kb to pass the recovery.img

i need guide or tutorial about how to edit gpt.bin file

url of the image ibb.co/gavJEc

[IMG="image"] https://ibb.co/gavJEc [/IMG]

in the file it is from file called="partition.xml" from "addison_verizon_oem_vzw_user_7.1.1_NDNS26.118-23-12-3_3_release-keys-cid2_vzw" the firmware i flashed wrong

so i didn't know how to convert it to bin or to change the bin files

anyone can help me

thank you
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] morchu:
Your best bet is to find the right gpt.bin file and flash it.

Now if you really insist, the format is pretty standard. And you can theoretically hex edit the file to create correct partition sizes.

First 512 bytes (0x0-0x1ff) should be MBR, and most manufacturers point to a GUID partition table from here.

At 0x200 you will see GUID partition table header. (you can confirm by signature 45h 46h 49h 20h 50h 41h 52h 54h or "EFI PART" in ascii). The next 92 bytes should be the header. This header contains information about how many partition table entries are going to follow, and where does it start (usually they start at 0x2 LBA, which is 0x400).

You can search the web for its exact format.

Each partition table entry is 128bytes. and so if it has 10 parititons, the paritition table entries will start from 0x400 and will occupy next 1280 bytes. The crc32 value of this 1280 bytes is stored at bytes 88 to 91 of the GUID header. So anytime you touch anything in these partition table entries you may also have to re-calculate the CRC and modify it in the header. Once you change the header, you also have to change the calcuclated CRC value of the header which is stored at bytes 16-19 of the header itself. When calculating CRC of the header the bytes 16-19 is put as zeros.

Now if you are ready to do all this. Then you can find the right partition table entries to modify from its labels (you can find the ascii signatures pretty easily), and the bytes 32-47 of the partition table entry tells the start LBA and end LBA of the partition. You can modify this entry corresponding to the recovery partition entry and all the partitions following it.

But the few key items you have to remember to change, anytime you touch the partition table entry is.

[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] enayeur:
Hi everyone,

Anyone know if you can set different fingerprints to open different apps/call a contact etc. from the lock screen? This was a feature on the Honor 5x (I'm not sure about 6x). You could set up to 5 different fingerprints, and I would set each one to open a different app from the lock screen. I've been looking for it on my phone Huawei Mate SE, but can't find it. Thanks.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] trixter127:
That looks interesting and it's the first time I'm hearing it .I'm it's not present on current EMUI 5.1 or EMUI 8.0 for Honor 7x not sure about that SE though .I would like to know if it's possible to implement that feature in any way.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] enayeur:
Hmm. Well if it's not present on EMUI 5.1 for Honor 7x, then it's probably not present on Mate SE either. It's running the same thing. Strange that it wouldn't be included... Also, it doesn't seem you can use the fingerprint scanner to take you to the home screen either, which is a feature that was on the Honor 5x as well.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] trixter127:
It isn't an in built option but you can make it work using external apps like Finger Print Gestures Pro ( available on Playstore) it also has the feature to open apps for a particular gesture like double tap , swipe down fast etc., but I couldn't find any possiblity that allows us to use a particular registered fingerprint for opening an app like Touchid assignment on iPhone.

I've been trying to unlock my bootloader using "fastboot unlock_critical", but it throws me an error, saying "Device already: unlocked!" even though in the fastboot menu, it says my device state is locked.

If I do the regular unlock it seems to work.

Prior to this I had tried flashing a ROM through TWRP. I unlocked (not critical), then booted into the TWRP image, flashed the TWRP zip, and then flashed the Nitrogen ROM. But when I rebooted, it would just boot me into the fastboot menu, and I wound up having to flash a stock image from google. And this is where I'm at now.

I made sure that the right options are turned on in developer settings, and I even tried relocking the bootloader. Any ideas? Is critical unlock needed to flash roms through TWRP? Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
This may sound crazy, but according to your post, you gave the wrong command. It's...fastboot flashing unlock_critical ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] raisins:
That was my mistake in the post. I think I figured out my issue..

I think unlock and unlock_critical were independent in a way? As far as re-locking goes at least. See: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/pixel-xl-fastboot-commands-t3490080

I never tried the "flashing lock_critical" so I'm thinking my device was still flagged as unlocked_critical from when I tried the first time, and when I did the "flashing lock", it changed my status to lock in the fastboot menu.

Anyway, my phone crashing when flashing the rom was a separate issue.. I had trouble wiping dalvik cache and data, but it works now.

On the topic of flashing roms for this phone.. Is it worth it in your opinion? I was looking forward to trying the edge squeeze, but it looks like it won't work on roms for now, so I'm thinking about going to just stock + root. Not sure how much customization you lose on stock versus custom roms though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
If you like active edge, then keep stock+root, and maybe a few magisk modules and you'll be more than fine. The main reason I like a custom rom is for long press to kill an app, and a few status and nav bar tweaks. Not to mention, I just enjoy fiddling with em ??
