[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] M1ch0k0:
hey guys today i flashed TWRP on my xiaomi redmi note 4, all looked fine, but it seems i cant access system anymore ( i didnt do root or flash custom roms yet). when i try to reboot system via TWRP, mi logo screen is displaying forever, and i totally cant turn off my phone. what to do? help please!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
If you are on a miui ROM, then you need to flash lazyflasher, or miui will not boot with TWRP.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] M1ch0k0:
can you please give me some tutorial or tips? thanks for such fast respond
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] M1ch0k0:
should i enter fastboot mode and flash it via PC?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
If you can do it with fastboot, then would be great - but I wouldn't know how to use fastboot to do that.

Alternatively, you can copy it to a USB drive, connect the USB drive to your phone with an OTG compatible cable, boot into TWRP, mount the USB/OTG drive, and flash it from that drive.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] M1ch0k0:
thanks a lot man I flashed it via USB drive, everything is working fine for me. I really appreciate your help.

[Moto Z2 Play  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DTTR:
Hello.

I bought my Z2 Play on impulse... I got a good deal so no problems there but...

My favorite Camera app, Google Camera is not compatible with our device.

Is there a way to get Google Camera and make it work on Z2 Play?
[Moto Z2 Play  Themes, Apps, and Mods] emcom:
Old one, up to and including 2.7 should be working.

But I think it's not the one you want ;)
[Moto Z2 Play  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DTTR:
I want the one that makes sphere photos.

I will download the one you suggested.

Thank you!

For the first time ever since getting my Mate 10 on launch day, I just received a pop up notification to defragment my phone which will improve performance. I did so. Wow they were not wrong there! Everything is so quick now. Apps launch super quickly! Anyone else had the opportunity to defragment their phone?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ums1405:
hI,

what is your device rom version and locale?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tboy2000:
Mate 10 non Pro. ALP L29C636. UK.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ums1405:
Stange, I got the same phone and rom version .

All I've got was an update to .132 yesterday....

haven't noticed anything about defragmenting phone......

Where can I find it?

cheers.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] jimmygarison:
Great Post.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tboy2000:
I don't think you can find it. It just appears out of nowhere. I guess it depends on how much you have used your storage and delete and save files.

One thing I have done recently is empty the recycle bin folder in the gallery app which had over 30 days of deleted photos and videos. Perhaps deleting the accumulated storage taken up left a big gap in the storage file system. This is purely a hunch. Have no idea if this was the reason I got the defragmentation notification.

I wish I took a screenshot of it now.

Just found this blurb.... Defragmentation is mentioned....

"The HUAWEI Mate 10 and HUAWEI Mate 10 Pro take the “Born Fast, Stay Fast” promise to a new dimension. Leveraging AI-powered Battery Management, the devices improve memory allocation utilization, using different mechanisms such as: CPU Resource Allocation and Management, Run-time Memory Management, IO Resource Management, Storage Management and Defragmentation and Battery Management."
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] RabidWolve:
Yup I get a de-fragmentation pop up once in a while.

Still waiting for a firmware popup.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Luinwethion:
I saw this once and laughed, remembered me of Windows 98.

Android is supposed to support trim, so devrafmantation shouldn't be a thing... Unless Huawei is calling it Defrag but instead they're doing something else behind the scenes.

Anyways, the born fast stay fast BS is based on the system continuously trying to shutdown processes ASAP and keep them from working properly, and it's continuously pushing the user to delete all kind of "unused" files.

So I've a phone with 128 GB storage and 6GB of ram, but I neither can use the storage nor keep apps open in RAM cuz the system doesn't like it.

Wished we could disable the phone manager and its BS entirely.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ums1405:
I agree, that could be the reason apps like Adguard keep getting killed regardless of if its been whitelisted in Phone Manager.

As we approach having a stable TWRP/Root solution for ALP's, (cudos to Pretoriano80) I hope devs would find a solution to the over zealous AI/NPU.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] levizx:
You are full of BS, one of the weaknesses of F2FS is fragmentation decreases performance more than EXT4, so it actually needs defragmentation.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] madman_cro:
doesnt F2FS do auto trim?

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Osirus126:
I just got the notification to defragment on my Huawei P10 VTR-L09 and I clicked it, But I was doing something so I decided to go back to it and do it later. I figured I would be able to do a search In the settings to find the defragment option. Well guess what... It is not there. I guess the only way to defragment is when the system wants you to and not whenever you feel like it. I should have just done the defrag when I first got the message. Now I have to wait until it pops up again.... They should give you the option in the phone manager. Anyone know how frequently the defrag option pops up??
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tboy2000:
Yes a warning to others. If you get the defrag option, you MUST do it there and then. Do not navigate away from that notification as you can't get it back.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] wbrambley:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangoman99:
I haven't touched my S5 (G900F) since I rooted it 3.5 years ago. At the time I was careful to retain KNOX.

Now I'm looking to upgrade - found a thread allowing me to put Android 5.0 on it pretty easily but it that the latest I can safely use?

Also, I assume that anything other than flashing a Stock Rom will result in the loss of KNOX - is that something I should worry about given that the warranty on the phone is long expired? Do any apps check KNOX and refuse to run if broken (e.g. Paypal and other Banking apps)?

If I should retain KNOX, what ROM should I be flashing?

If KNOX doesn't matter any more, then is there a debloated Stock ROM available for the S5?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fear_The_Fluff:
If you are already rooted, a custom OS shouldn't affect it, if the OS wants you to update SU after installation, you may want to look at magisk when you run the OS. Do a nandroid back up before you do this.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangoman99:
OK - thanks for the input - a few things to clarify:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044

Suggests that to FLash Android 5 WITHOUT triggering KNOX, I need to see https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-ane4-kitkat-4-4-2-multi-csc-t2813628

The link is clearly out of date though as the latter is now at Android 6.01, but more importantly, the latter states that Installation is via CMW/TWRP recovery and KNOX is triggered.

Presumably I need to flash the new ROM from within the current ROM - what's the best software for that - I found Flashfire, but it was a post dated 2015.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] hirizal:
Hey I was just going through the Google phone app forum and saw you have the tmo branded Moto z2 also, my question is are you using the stock dialer and if it is possible to get Google phone apk that is signed by Google and not that other person. Other question is how do I re enable my RCS service as TMO will be launching universal RCS soon. Thank you in advance for any kind of information. [MENTION=1275930]skywalker-live[/MENTION]
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] skywalker-live:
To get the Google phone app from the play store I'm using a magisk module from the repo (yes the module says for OP 5/5T but it does work).

As far as rcs services my understanding is that is replacing sms and would be covered with the Google messages app. How did you disable your rcs services? I didn't know there was away to disable it, just that we're waiting for tmo to enable their end for the support.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] hirizal:
I got the RCS info from this thread https://xdaforums.com/z2-force/how-to/t-mobile-how-to-3rd-party-sms-apps-root-t3661703/amp/ , also what is the magisk? Do I need to be rooted or can I do it without root?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] skywalker-live:
That thread is old, the "bug" with texting was fixed with the 26.7 nougat firmware update. Then reappeared in 27.0 Oreo update and was fixed with the current firmware 27.1 Oreo. Twards the end of that thread is the suggestion to use Android messages, which works great for me both back on nougat and now on Oreo I didn't have to make and modifications to my device for that.

Also that thread makes it sound like TMobile is already using rcs, the problem is it's their own profile instead of the universal one that is being promised.

Magisk is a root manger that can also make modifications to the system without actually touching the system partition.

70-90% of what is found on xda is dependent on being rooted. This phone (motorola) requires breaking the Motorola warranty to unlock the bootloader to be able to root. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe the device.

Having a rooted phone is a great responsibility to read everything about what you do to it and understanding the risks involved, knowing how to fix it before doing the modification. Also keeping everything straight between current and old methods, things can change in a matter of weeks. Developers sometimes change phones every 6 months.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] birajrai:
As much as I love my phone, I have spotted a few things that made me question the phone or Huawei.

First of all, I was playing with the three rear cameras and noticed that when I hovered my finger above the topmost camera (I think it's the 40mp one) or covered it, my finger didn't show up. Is that supposed to happen?

Secondly, when I take a picture in complete dark, there is always some noise present.

Thirdly, the screen has a gradient hue, darker on the left side as compared to the right. I have attached an image in this post. Please check for the gradient as I seem to see it on my screen. This is clearly obvious in a complete dark room.

Please check your phone and let me know if you're facing the same thing. Thank you.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] bk227865:
The top one is used when zooming (5x) i think.

But funny enough the live view seems to not always use the same lens as the lens the photo is taken with.

If you zoom 5x and cover the top lens (or even when its dark ?) the live view switches to the main lens.

Sometime you can catch a glimp of your finger just before the switch happens.

And then when you take the zoomed in shot with the top lens covered you get a black picture, although the liveview shows an image.

I tested this in a fairly dim living room, so your mileage may vary if you test this in a bright office or outside in the sun.

For your noisy dark pictures. If you take a picture in a completely dark room (covered your screen ?) then the ISO is probably cranked up to the moon. So your going to see noise.

Maybe try in pro mode with a sane iso and exposure time (to avoid noise and hot pixels) and see how much noise you get then.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] birajrai:
Yes, it seems so that when I zoom while covering the lens, the picture comes as the lens is covered. Thank you for clarifying that to me.

Can you please, if you don't mind, clarify the gradient hue of the screen? Or is it just mine? Thank you.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mudnightoil:
Others have answered your finger question. Not really sure what that point was about anyway?

Re: noise. What were you expecting? This isn't a full frame DSLR shooting raw. This is still a tiny sensor (just less tiny) with a highly compromised lens (miniaturisation comes at a cost). However, it is in my view head and shoulders above any other smartphone for delivering photos in poor / mixed light and at night when hand held - CM1 & 808 still beat it easily when on a tripod or similar.

Re: the screen. There will always be some gradient. If it's bad, I suggest you talk to Huawei or your provider / retailer's support and get a replacement. But since you say you only see it in a completely dark room, I can't imagine this is worthy of replacement.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] bk227865:
It's my first oled phone so i don't have any reference on how good oled is supposed to look in very dark rooms.

If you can only see it on dim images in a dark room then your probaly noticing the "mura effect".

I cannot tell if your display is particulary bad or not. But i to can detect it looking at a uniform very dark gray backround in a very dark room. Under minimal light conditions i see no problems.

Edit : i checked your blue image , but my eyes cannot really spot any meaningfull hue differences even in a darkened room.

The top lens is the tele lens. It only has 3x zoom. The 5x zoom is a hybrid zoom where it uses both lenses.

Hi guys,

I just recently deleted an important videos in which I thought I have backed up already but in reality it isn't backed up.

It is totally gone from Gallery and Google Photos and from both Trash.

The phone is not rooted as I need to use Samsung Knox for some reasons.

Any ideas or suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
There's good PC programs that can retrieve it. Doing on phone it's self usually requires root.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
I haven't used one of those programs in a while sorry. There's a lot of them out there. Just search google you will find one. Not to familiar with that program stellar.

Hello, I'm wondering if they've made any advancement on the Samfail root method for the Note 8 AT&T version. I'm finding that I'm running into circumstances where I need to be able to flash a zip. This is still not possible, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Jammol:
Just check the Samfail thread. It's up to v3 for the latest 7.1.1 software we have. It does not root Oreo, but it will downgrade you from it back to 7.1.1 to be able to root.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 2Tone23:
Thank you, Jammol. I'm actually rooted, but I was out of the loop due awhile and I was wondering if full root had been managed. They finally achieved it on the Note 5 AT&T version, only after I got rid of it. Hoping lightning will strike twice, you know?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Jammol:
Full root as in TWRP and such? We have full root but with a locked bootloader. Flashfire can be used to flash stock roms for the Snapdragon variant. Safestrap was just released for it as well but currently only the "Stock" slot can be used. And yes the 80% battery limit is very much still there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 2Tone23:
So I can actually flash custom roms with this lock bootloader on this variant? Also, safestrap will allow me to flash custom roms as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 2Tone23:
So I can actually flash custom roms with this locked bootloader on this variant?. Also, safestrap will allow me to flash custom roms as well? I hope I understand you right, Jammol. To be able to finally do that would make me a happy man. Also, is there any advantage to using Safestrap over Samfail? I used Safestrap with my S5.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Jammol:
Correct, but you can't get to Safestrap without being rooted first, which requires Samfail.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 2Tone23:
Thanx. I'm Samfail rooted already. Going to install safestrap. Can you direct toward some custom stock roms that might flash? I've had no luck thus far.... And thank you for all the info. If not for you I wouldn't even know Safestrap and flashing was even available.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Jammol:
Currently there are only 2 roms we can flash. FENNEC and Culpeo.

FENNEC is based on the U1 (unlocked firmware), so there's no carrier bloatware.

Culpeo is based on U or carrier firmware. The bloat will come with the CSC you flash for your particular firmware. There are CSC edits in there for things such as VoLTE, Wi-Fi Calling, etc.

These are both based on the latest 7.1.1 version respectively. I have personally ran both but I was partial to FENNEC because I hate carrier bloat.

Both are located on the Development section. There are more roms coming so don't be deterred.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 2Tone23:
Jammol, I really appreciate your responsiveness and all of the knowledge you've provided. Thanks you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 2Tone23:
Jammol, trying to figure out why Safestrap won't take. Busybox up and running. After hitting install it goes thru its paces and says I install successfully, or something similar, but above that where it says State it still reads not installed. I see it with granted access in Su. But when rebooting I do not get the splash screen. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 2Tone23:
I have the free version of Busy Box installed. Tried installing the pro version in case that would somehow facilitate the installation of Safestrap and the pro version won't install either. The notice suggests I try installing in another location. Not sure how to do that. Can anyone advise me on this and /or how I can get Safestrap to install?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Jammol:
In the Safestrap thread there were a few users that had that issue occur. I don't know what the Fix was for them, if it was fixed, as I haven't followed that development for a few days now. I suggest giving the OP of that thread a full read through again and read through the comments/replies of what others have done so far to solve their issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 2Tone23:
Thanx Jammol. Actually perused that before my last post. Will look again. Hope I missed something, but I dont think so.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Jammol:
No problem. Let me know. There are some bugs with it though so posting Safestrap related questions there would be the best thing to do. I merely fiddled with it for about a day at most and had to return to stock(work reasons).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 2Tone23:
Thanks, J. Really appreciate your feedback. Will let you know if something gives.
