[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doomanix:
Instead of getting lost trying to find an answer in one of the other USU or AOSCP threads I thought this would be a good place to discuss the video playback issues plaguing the people running AOSCP (both N and O) on the h812. I hadn't experienced the problem myself until I installed the N update on the 15th of March specifically for the h812 and since then I love the rom and the battery life I'm getting, but any attempt to watch any sort of video (both offline and online) has severe playback issues which make it unusable. I've read through the UsU forum and know several people like me have had issues with it. While there may be some success installing applications to minimize the issue for offline playback any attempt to play video on the web is for not. I'm hoping either this discussion will help spark a bug hunt for the issue or someone who has discovered the solution will share it here to make it much more accessible than sifting though countless pages on other forums.

H812 running ASOCP N

Excerpts from: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75890188&postcount=361

"IF, you've already installed the rom and are having problems, I recommend you consider doing a clean flash, all in TWRP, i.e., wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik, followed by Format Data > flash the rom again > flash the H812 AOSCP Nougat USU patched kernel (https://xdaforums.com/g4/...sions-t3763679 ) AND the Marshmallow (MM) modem.bin file from your Salt backup or the modem image file extracted from the appropriate MM kdz"

"My new go-to Camera/Video app(s) are Camera FV5 Lite and Cinema FV5 Lite . Much better quality/performance, IMO with no problems at all with video recording/playback - no problems with YouTube video whatsoever, etc.

- Note: Make sure you freeze the Google camera app ... or uninstall any other 3rd party camera apps to avoid forced closes/conflicts etc."

If, this doesn't solve on the AOSCP N, your problems may be resulting from other issues ... bootloader unlock from Lollipop, flashing other inappropriate roms, failing to remove the 1st Assert line in the updater script in H811 custom roms, not having the right modem or kernel etc ...

AOSCP Oreo has issues over and above the Nougat version ...

HI everyone,

I've seen it done on a Mate 9 Pro with the Android 7 and Emui 5 but it seems like there is no compatible GMScore file on HiApp for my phone build. Is that the correct take? Can we expect one in the future? Like to be able to access Google Play Store.

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] jutphaas:
Hi,

My boot loader is unlocked, as most of us did to get root.

Now we accept no warranty.

Ok so my USB port burns defect through water damage while connected to charger. The flex cable needs to be replaced..

I want Sony to do it to ensure right proper fixing back the LCD screen after repair.

I connect to Sony service center Netherlands i (I mentioned I have boot loader unlocked) and I say because of water damage to USB port I don't claim warranty, just want the usb flex cable repaired and hey they say, if your boot loader is unlocked, not even your warranty is void, but we are not allowed to take it in for any repairs. Because we cannot guarantee the functioning of the phone afterwards .

Did you all know this?, sign for this at the Sony unlock site?

Btw the phone worked fine, just the USB burned through, a little smoke and smell right at connection,when connected sure thing. The phone worked until battery was empty (had to make some backup to sd.)

So I will have it repaired anyway somewhere or there without mentioning.... or do it myself.

Have you the same experience with Sony service centers?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] chawlasrijan:
So I went to Thailand last year on a backpacking trip. Went underwater with my XZ, immediately charged it without realizing that I'd damage my port. My bootloader was unlocked, relocked it somehow, sent it to Sony for a repair claiming I had some usb ports issues back when I came home in India, they checked the device, noticed Camera app was not working (Camera doesn't work when you relock your bootloader), changed my whole motherboard & I got back a locked Xperia XZ without any charges as it was still in warranty.

Long Story short, Indian Service Centers didn't even notice that my bootloader was unlocked.

Also, I cleaned my charging port with alcohol to remove any dirt or residue of salt water before submitting it to Sony Service Center.

Oh I see. Sorry. No, you're right, the ROM is not any better than regular LOS. Besides the microG integration that's pretty much it really. I tried it once awhile back but I prefer to do things manually. Plus I'm not really a fan of LOS. ?

The LOS/microG ROM I thought was old news but I guess not. That Reddit post and this thread title is a bit misleading as I don't think the microG Team are behind the ROM specifically though they are contributors I guess (as mentioned in its XDA thread).

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pibblesonacid:
I've had this box almost a year and it has worked okay. It's still on Android 6.0 (ROOT) (what it came with)

It black screens google play until i force close, then works. We just got a new 4k TV and the various random bugs here and there plus my hatred of the Media Box launcher has made me decide to upgrade to Android 7 and set up a custom rom with android 7 and a better launcher. I really like how it looks in this video www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?time_continue=2&v=NhdQltHVSGo superceleron put out, but he doesn't have any 2/16 variants i can find.. I have rooted almost every phone and tablet i've owned, and I've switched a few Kindle Fire 1st gens to 5.0 so I'm comfortable with a brick risk.

I bought it from BG www(dot)banggood(dot)com/H96-Pro-Plus-Amlogic-S912-2GB-RAM-16GB-ROM-TV-Box-p-1117115.html?cur_warehouse=CN

How do i know which maker and version it is exactly so i get the correct rom? there are a few makers of the Amlogic s912 TV boxes and i don't know how to tell which one i have. it looks like an alphawise but it doesn't have alphawise written on the top.

I read that i need to take it apart to get the color of the board to further determine the correct rom.

I'm looking to run the 4k netflix but read it's unavail to rooted devices for some reason, I prefer root for backups and adblockers etc. can i hide root from netflix somehow?

am i wanting to install TWRP and load rom from there or use the update program that came on my TV box. how would i be able to backup my system and what app would i use?

If anybody has any links to some guides i can read up on that would be greatly appreciated, This will be my first time putting a custom rom on a TV box.

Thanks!

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] primetime34:
When my Moto G5+ is locked, I can use the fingerprint scanner to unlock it. But then, I have to scan my finger again (or swipe the screen) to get rid of another screen before I see my home screen.

I don't want this...in fact I find it pretty annoying. Anybody else have this problem and is there anyway to fix it?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] primetime34:
Solved it...it is an Amazon version and I had gone through and disabled a bunch of the Amazon apps (because I didn't want them). However, it reverted the Amazon offers app to the default version which added the additional Amazon lock screen back to the phone. Once I updated that, no problems and now I only have one lock screen (like I should)
[Honor 5C Questions & Answers] Zarou:
Hi !

I found on the web that some Android devices use (used ?) a sqlite database named settings.db to store settings data.

While Honor 5C doesn't have such database, it does have a defaultSettings.db which seems to contain the same thing.

However, when I browsed it, I realised that changing settings apparently doesn't alter this database (the values always remain the same, no matter what I do, like enabling/disabling developer settings, etc...).

I couldn't find anything on my own, so I wonder. Does anyone know where all the device settings are actually stored ?

Thank you !

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AwkwardUberHero:
As the title describes, I keep getting a fair amount of lag, and if memory serves me correct, has been doing it since I put on Substratum and Andromeda, but that could just be me. I am using Nova Launcher, running the latest March security updates. Using KLWP, thought that was causing the lag, so I stopped using it. Still did it with no widgets as well.

Not sure where to go with this. I have seen users in the past with similar issues, but not many with pixel 2/xl reporting it. Does anyone have any ideas? I am going to completely uninstall Andromeda and Substratum and test again, but thought I would check here first.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
There are some themes that can cause this. Particularly the ones with transparent backgrounds. I would disable all themes first and see if that resolves the issue. I run Switch dark and black without issues. However, I've experienced this somewhat with Sprite theme.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AwkwardUberHero:
Thanks badger. I had disabled all themes and noticed it still. I've since uninstalled both Andromeda and Substratum and seems a bit better. I'll keep watching it and see how things go.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AwkwardUberHero:
So, it may not have been substratum after all. I think that it might actually be Nova Launcher. I have uninstalled it, reinstalled it several times, does the same thing. Lags when opening an app. Tried in Pixel launcher, and there is no lag. So, gotta figure out what is going on there. Might try a different launcher for a bit.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I always thought substratum slows down your device only during the process of building/installing/enabling overlays. I've never experienced any lag with subs or Nova.

Maybe try setting Nova up from scratch as opposed to restoring from a Nova backup (if you were doing that previously).

pls help

Charge the device (using the mains supply or a battery charger).

Start the device up, and then manually enter bootloader.

Then, follow this http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_recovery

Since you can enter bootloader, it should be relatively easy to fix.

To edit voicemail number, use bk package manager or titanium backup manager to disable VVM....the settings for VVM will disappear and the editable settings will be there,

Alternatively, in the cscfeature.xml you can remove the line that has config VVM....

<CscFeature_Contact_EnableVVM>TRUE</CscFeature_Contact_EnableVVM>

<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigVvm>TRUE</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigVvm>
