U need HardSPL
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
HardSPL first!!!

A few comments:

SSPL-HERM.exe 178.688 11.02.2007 03:10 -a-- Why??? WTF???

It looks like you just unzipped a rom update & threw it on your card. Security unlock is a state you can put your device into, using Jocky's tools, I have no idea how it could happen by itself. Did you try sim unlocking & maybe did the security unlock instead?

Be careful now. Now that your device is security unlocked you are able to issue all sorts of commands thru terminal emulation. If you don't know what you're doing, at this point I would strongly urge you to stay away from MTTY, OEMSBL, RBL, Diag. Mode, etc.

Security unlock gives you the abilty to alter many facets of your device, It also allows you to wreak complete havoc if not careful.

Edit: Read Me!! If you are stuck in BL (tri-color) & cannot recover, I suggest you contact me. I can probably help you over MSN IM. (gsleon3@hotmail.com) MTTY can help you, but because your device is Security Unlocked, you need to be very careful as to the commands you issue.

Ehi guys!

i'm trying to switch off vibration on notifications (i don't mind about calls) based on condition, because i really can't stand my phone vibrating while laying in my table at work.

I've tried 2 solution, activate vibration only while in my pocket or while connected to certain wifi.. i have no problem with the triggers but i'm not able to actually toggle off and on the vibration..

i've tried both this script https://xdaforums.com/u/t...asker-t3345309 or the tasker plugin "sound mode" but they both toggle do not disturb mode, not the vibration..

i just want to:

1. vibration off + volume on while on the table

2. vibration on + volume on while on my pocket

Any help?

Thanks!!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] alienyd:
I don't think this is possible with Tasker. My guess is, you will have to disable vibration on a system level - driver for example.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] daede86:
Thanks a lot for your reply! Can you be a bit more specific on your solution? I'm not sure I get it :(
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] alienyd:
I think it is only possible if you can find the driver file for vibration and make change there.

Some applications, like Viber, vibrate furiously in all situations and users have little control over it. My solution is Xposed and GravityBox, both of which are mostly not tasker-able.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] lauralbaby:
Actually I've noticed that if I block a notification in AutoNotification, then recreate it in Tasker, the vibration doesn't go off. If you don't want to block the app's notifications on a system level, it's a good workaround.

You can also just turn vibration system wide with the Vibrate action (should be in Audio).
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] daede86:
thanks guys, i'll give it a try :)

Hi All. I got a g6 last month, sent it back and got another one because it had a dust specle inside the lense glass.

Now in the new one I noticed something weird with manual mode in the camera thought you guys could help.

In low light I took 2 photos once in auto mode and once in manual mode.

Both with same iso, whitbalance auto, same shutter speeds. The image in manual mode comes out noisy and the one from auto is not much noisy. This happened all the times in tried with different subjects.

Is this how your phone works too? Or should i return this as well? Pls see attached images. I will really appreciate your comments. Thanks in advance.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rahulkrathod:
sorry. bumping if anyone has any comments?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] hudl:
In manual mode: did you enable "noise reduction" in settings?

Manual mode itself is very noisy on my phone too. Noise reduction is always a software thing, that's why Pixel phones take such great pictures (because Google is good in software). Maybe try a port of the Google camera and compare the results for yourself.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rahulkrathod:
Yes i eventually figured the noise reduction. But couldn't belive the noise when it's off.

Thanks for confirming its same in your phone too.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Windforce0511:
That is completely normal. :)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Tosslehoff:
Lol, yeah. Totally normal. Manual mode outputs garbage, but it can be made absolutely glorious with software processing tools.

[Motorola Droid 4] dd350:
Hi all, I'm considering a move to Droid 4 from Stratosphere II. So far I've rooted it and flashed in the altpart version of SafeStrap recovery. This requires the use of the 20170405 unofficial build of LineageOS 14.1 that I had to dig out of an archive in Germany which uses the WebTop partition as a fat, juicy 1.3GB /system partition for gapps and also leaves me with a full 8.0GB free internal memory. HOWEVER --

Its performance is sporadic. At times it hangs for a long time before doing anything, like open the camera or the browser (I'm using Adblock Plus with the stocker disabled). The camera can take over 30 seconds to load. Often it's so slow to open things I tap on, that I tap on it again thinking it didn't "hear" me the first time, then it processes both taps and gives me more than I bargained for and damn near sends me into orbit over it. It takes some real restraint not to tap twice on stuff, but it's all just wearing me out.

The GoogleNow app is especially bad. It's so slow it's basically unusable. This was true on my Strat-II as well, but going back to the stock version fixed it there -- however I have been unable to transplant that version over to the Droid 4 with TitaniumBackup.

Videos are unwatchable, whether natively produced or on YouTube. They skip, hang, jerk and stutter.

Bluetooth has issues pairing with devices. I've sometimes been able to get things to pair after rebooting, sometimes not. And there's often an audio stutter in there until I reboot -- which seems like a memory problem again.

Wifi doesn't work after a soft reboot.

I tried a newer build (2/22/18) but it was just as bad if not worse. Same with an older 13.0 build. I think the reality here is that there's just not enough RAM to work with. If it had the full 1.0GB available to the OS (instead of the 834MB it actually has) it would probably alleviate these problems, but the video RAM is apparently shared and not discrete.

So my question is, can anyone recommend a well-behaved, solid-performing ROM for Droid 4?
[Motorola Droid 4] Galaxyninja66:
What did you expect? it is a ancient phone. Give Sailfish OS a try, or just run CM9 or CM11. If you want a bit newer go as high as CM12.1 or some other 5.1.1 rom. Stop trying to run 2017 software on a 2012 device. Personally I can't wait for my new Droid 4 to come in the mail so I can run Sailfish OS on it. My first goal will be getting alien dalvik to work, then perhaps making my own stable builds.

EDIT: Also about the 834MB of ram, the device does have 1GB of ram, it is just that part of it has been reserved for only system use. This avoids system crashes when you have a lot of apps open, and like you said some of it is also reserved for graphics related things.
[Motorola Droid 4] belrei:
If you stay away from GApps, and use microG instead, everything works quite well (you can even use Play Store) with some Marshmallow and Nougat ROMs.

I'm using Mokee 60.1 (based on LOS 6.0.1) at the moment. With Xposed to enable Signature Spoofing for microG. Bluetooth, video, WLAN, no problem. Of course its slower than "modern" phones and sometimes hangs a bit. I have no experience with GoogleNow.

I'm testing crDroid 3.8.5 (based on LOS 7.1.2) now and I'm considering to change because it seems a bit snappier.

Hope this helps! :)
[Motorola Droid 4] dd350:
Thanks, I hadn't thought about it that way (Gapps being the problem more than the ROM) before. I tried Mokee a few days ago and it was too slow with the Gapps package I used, and I don't speak Mandarin so lots of the menus were... unenlightening to me. I am currently evaluating SlimKat (4.4) with a "normal" Gapps package and it is going really well so far. Just a few more things to test and if all goes well I'm dropping it in the stock slot.

My expectation was that once all the bloat was stripped out that the 13/14 versions would still run decently on this older hardware, but apparently not--even with a pico Gapps. I don't even like the newer versions anyway, and they offer me nothing more than KitKat with a whole lot less performance, so I'm happy to run a KitKat ROM if that is where the performance sweet spot is for a Droid 4... until a new QWERTY slider comes out. Any day now.
[Motorola Droid 4] schmatzler:
OpenGapps really bring the performance down.

I use the Droid 4 with LOS 14.2 as my daily driver, but only with MicroG and the PlayStore app. I wrote about that here:

https://xdaforums.com/droid-4/help/...epartition-t3676476/post73956388#post73956388

(The first step can now be replaced with installing XPosed and the FakeGapps module for XPosed. It wasn't available at the time I wrote the post above).

I also went into the privacy options and disabled background running and auto startup for almost every application except WhatsApp. Now the device runs smooth as butter.

Edit: Almost forgot, one of these overclocked kernels really bring a bit more performance:

https://xdaforums.com/droid-4/development/kernel-nougat-custom-droid-4-razr-oc-t3499366

It depends on how well the CPU inside your device has been manufactured, though. Mine runs very well at 1.4GHz with ultra low voltage - that's a lot more speed and a bit more battery life
[Motorola Droid 4] dd350:
That's interesting, I've got a spare for testing I'll try that out on.
[Motorola Droid 4] dd350:
I got the OC kernel running, but no luck trying to install microG. The only APK I could find for Xposed was blocked for downloading as "unsafe". Is there a list of valid links for all this somewhere?
[Motorola Droid 4] belrei:
Xposed: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

Flash the appropriate zip-file depending on your Android version and install exposedinstaller3.1.5

reboot (probably not necessary)

Load FakeGapps module in Xposed to enable signature spoofing

wait for FakeGapps module to load then reboot

microG: https://xdaforums.com/android/development/microg-unofficial-installer-t3432360

Flash zip. Installs (latest version of) microG. Installs Playstore to the appropriate (system) directory and sets necessary permissions

If you use a ROM with built-in signature spoofing you don't need steps 1 - 4, just activate signature spoofing in the ROM's settings.

(e.g. crDroid. Note: Flash OC-Kernel and WLAN will work!)

To get things working:

launch microG settings

goto Self-Check

allow signature spoofing for microG by tapping

on the text

of the relevant menu item

reboot (probably not necessary)

in microG settings enable Google device registration

launch PlayStore and follow instructions to sign into your Google account

opening PlayStore probably fails with error RH-01

clear PlayStore app cache & reboot (sometimes force close PlayStore app is sufficient)

PlayStore should work now

Have fun :D
[Motorola Droid 4] dd350:
Where is exposedinstaller3.1.5? I see only an uninstaller.

How is FakeGapps module loaded in Xposed? I have installed Xposed v89 for SDK25 in SafeStrap but I see no way to configure anything about it.
[Motorola Droid 4] belrei:
App (to load Xposed modules, - not to install the Xposed

framework

, this is done with the zip you flashed) see "Attached Files" at the end of the respective post (XposedInstaller_3.1.5.apk) :cool:

(the uninstaller you saw uninstalls the Xposed

framework

) ;)

Xposed modules are loaded using the XposedInstaller app

Hope this helps :)

PS: changed from Mokee (Marshmallow) to crDroid 3.8.5 (Nougat) yesterday successfully. Much better performance. Some random reboots during app install (hope this will stop when everything is set up). Feels like a new phone.
[Motorola Droid 4] dd350:
Found it here, will give it a try today: https://xdaforums.com/droid-4/development/rom-crdroid-unofficial-n-t3668542
[Motorola Droid 4] dd350:
Got microG working with crDroid, looks pretty awesome so far. But I can't get signed in to Google Voice. Without that I'm dead in the water. I need Hangouts as well, and that reports that it needs Google Play Services which is not supported.
[Motorola Droid 4] dd350:
I went ahead and did a pico Gapps install, and crDroid actually works really well with it - far better than Lineage does, and then of course all the Google stuff I need to use is there. I'm testing it out with the OC kernel and it had occasional reboots with the ULV 1.4 OC, so I'm dropping back to the LV 1.4 instead to see if that smooths it out. Otherwise it's the best Nougat ROM I've tried yet on D4.
[Motorola Droid 4] Galaxyninja66:
It'd be so much easier and require much less steps if you just ran Sailfish OS
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Hi Galaxyninja66,

I've been using SFOS since the Droid 4 version became available, and I love it. On the whole, I manage fine without Android apps, but there are 1 or 2 it would be very useful to have. I had a go at getting AD working, and I seemed to have it set up correctly, but I wasn't able to launch anything:( If you do get it working, and you get a moment, could you let me know what you did please?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] Galaxyninja66:
Sure thing. On a side note, how stable is it with GSM international? I live in Ausfailia so the US block shouldn't effect me (at least until I move back). Can you list all the issues you are having with it (the rom in general)?

Does QWRTY work okay on the keyboard?

Does the FM Radio work?

Have they made any progress with bluetooth?

What about this battery issue where it doesn't read the level right?

I want to know it all as I will most likely try to start building this myself.
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Hi,

That's great, thanks.

I've had no issues with GSM apart from data not working immediately after flashing - you just have to install an app called 'Ofono Log', and select the 'Enable Data' option, and from then on it's fine.

No issues with the keyboard - if the keyboard is open it uses it, and if not, you get the virtual keyboard. I mostly use mine with the keyboard open, as I like a physical keyboard.

I haven't tried FM radio, but will give it a go and let you know.

As far as I know, bluetooth isn't working, but I don't really have any use for it. I will give it a quick go though, and let you know.

The battery thing is a nuisance, but it doesn't really bother me that much. Usually, it only happens after a reboot, so if you don't reboot, you don't usually have a problem. Occasionally, it'll just happen though, and when it does, you just have to reboot a few times until you get a proper reading.

On the whole, it works really well, and I can't think of any other issues I have with SFOS itself. Lack of a decent browser is my main annoyance. I really like the built in browser, but (I think) it's built on a very unstable version of Firefox, and tends to keep doing weird things and you have to keep killing it and starting it up again. There's Webcat too, but I'm not too keen on that, and would sooner put up with the problems with the built in browser.

I'lll edit this when I've tried FM/bluetooth, or if I think of anything else...

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] Galaxyninja66:
If there is just a lack of FM radio app that means the qt fm radio app isn't in the patterns.

I can't wait for my Droid 4 to finally get here so i can have a keyboard device!

Does the keyboard backlight work?

Do the homekeys stay off?
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Yeah, it's a good phone.

The keyboard backlight does work, but you have to set it up yourself - it's in the TMO thread, but I can give you the details if you need them.

Not sure what you mean by 'the homekeys stay off'? If you let me know I'll test.

Will let you know about FM radio and bluetooth sometime today (my time)...
[Motorola Droid 4] Galaxyninja66:
I mean does the hardware key backlight stay one? you know, home menu search back keys.
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Yeah, the hardware keyboard stays lit.

As regards the 4 soft keys on the front of the screen, they don't light up, and I never use them in SFOS.

I've just tried a couple of FM radio apps, and they don't seem to work - I can't scan for channels. So unless I'm doing something stupid, I'd guess FM radio doesn't work currently.
[Motorola Droid 4] own3mall:
Yep, this LineageOS 14 ROM is problematic. I cannot get 4G LTE to work reliably on my Droid 4 with PagePlus over Verizon :(

Stock ROM performance is so much better. So despite the fact that I could run some newer apps in Android 6/7, I decided it's not worth it. I would have run both the stock and 7.1 custom ROM together, but SafeStrap keeps messing up and LineageOS won't boot properly after running the stock ROM complaining about failing to decrypt encrypted files. It seems that both installs step on each other randomly, so it looks like you have to pick one or the other despite the fact that you have several "boot" slots with SafeStrap.
[Motorola Droid 4] dd350:
The worst I've had happen is it sometimes goes to 3G when it shouldn't, but I haven't figured out why yet.

I've never experienced that but I don't think I've run it the way you are.

The only ROM I've had work reliably enough to be a daily driver so far is SlimKat, which runs 4.4.4. crDroid running 7.1.2 is a very close second, now that I've gotten its kernel issues sorted out it has stopped crashing and run for two days straight so far without a glitch. But it can't run anything more than the pico Gapps package, so no Google search bar or voice search. Haven't figured out a solution to that yet. I tried importing it from other ROMs with Titanium but no dice.
[Motorola Droid 4] belrei:
I agree with respect to crDroid. Apparently most of the Droid 4 devices still around have experienced quite a history of flashing different ROM, kernels, patches, etc. impacting on the performance of the whole system. For example I experienced several random reboots daily with the latest crDroid version.

After flashing the latest factory stock SBF file (Jelly Bean 4.1.2) and afterwards safestrap + crDroid + OC Kernel + Xposed everything works flawlessly on Nougat 7.1.2 since 3 days, using microG instead of Gapps. My wife even thinks it's snappier than her Galaxy S8. :cool:
[Motorola Droid 4] dd350:
I'm not sure what SBFing does that a full wipe wouldn't (if anything) that would affect your performance and stability to that degree, but I'm glad that you broke through your apprehension about SBFing and were able to come out ahead of where you were before.

For me the kernel that works the best with crDroid has been the SElinux permissive mode lite 1.3 OC. Great battery life, rock solid stability and no glitches. Lots of problems trying to go to 1.4.

I couldn't figure out the point of microG nor could I figure out how to get it to do what I wanted, so I just installed the pico gapps and then installed Google Search and Google Text-To-Speech from the Play store. It didn't slow down overall performance to a crawl like the nano gapps package did and gives me the features I want.

Hi guys,

Although I'm not a totally newbie, I mean I installed Honeycomb on the OG Desire watch out for the volume tho, but I'm totally new to the Huawei thingq, although I've owned a Ascend Mate 7 and a P9+ I never went as far as looking for root and custom ROMs, and I'm specially not educated in the whole architectural changes that treble brings.

So I've a few questions, and hopefully someone can clear some of them for me.

1- Unlocked BL means no OTA right? Also not via Firmware Finder?

2- Running stock, if a new update pops up on the web, I download the .zip and extract everything. I can flash the systems but I'm missing lots of things there, fixes on the kernel, and other stuff. Should I flash them all? Is it recommend? Or are the risks to high? Should I wait for the specific rom to be signed for my IMEI or am I okay as long as I choose the right branding (Europe for me).

3- And having magisk root... Does will it make flashing a new update any complicated?

4 - (and the last), when running a AOSP rom, is it possible/recommend to extract a new stock kernel and flash it when an update is available?

Thanks a lot :)

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Artim_96:
I know, our device has really great battery life and I don't have anything to complain about that, but a friend of mine just got himself a new phone and his values make me a bit jealous and most of all: surprised and stunned.

He got himself a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (SD 625 variant, MKT variant really sucks), it has the same processor, same display and not even 700 mAh more (4100 mAh) and he got with some "dev rom" (made by Xiaomi, seems to just be the beta of that ugly MIUI 9, based on Andorid 7.0) 6h of SOT, doze seems to haven't really kicked in in that time. in their forum in the SOT thread I see people getting normally about 8-10 with up to over 12 h of SOT, most of them on stock ROM without any additions. And I'm quite irritated about that huge of a difference with not that much more battery. And he seems quite convinced that it's not on the cost of performance, you should notice that quickly on such a heavily skinned ROM.

Now my question is: how in hell is that even possible? I mean our devices seem quite comparablewith just a slight bump in battery but near-stock AOSP Android against pretty much an iOS clone. Does anyone have any idea what could cause that big of a difference? And if it's software based could that be done on our device? Because my experience and from different posts our device lasts about 5-6 h normally.

I mean I'm already lucky about my 2 days of usage with up to about 2.5 days on some weekends where I have a lot of stuff to do. But I wouldn't mind a bit of extra. But my biggest problem with that is as simple as: how? I could really use some explaination right now...
