[Remix OS for PC] moriel5:
It wont recieve updates in any case.

I recommend you to just install it the standard Android-x86 way, that way you will get the full storage space on your hard drive (or just the partition, if you choose to go that way), and it will run more smoothly.

Currently I forget to type for this, but when booting the flash drive, at Grub you need to edit the command line (by pressing "e") .

And if you are already doing this, try the "Hacked" version, which includes SuperSU and (I think, I do not remember) XPosed Framework, built-in.

Or just move to Phoenix OS, it is still getting updated.
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] li0nh3art3d:
I updated my firmware with Newflasher to 50.1.A.5.59, however now whenever I install Xposed, it bootloops. It was working fine on the previous firmware, however when I flash the older stock firmware, it bootloops also.

Upon running the command 'fastboot getvar all', it seems that the bootloader does indeed downgrade back down with the rest of the firmware package, while the command line in newflasher says success on the the baseband, it seems to have some kind of lock preventing a lower version from staying flashed, so now I'm stuck on the newer firmware.

Does anyone know any possible way to override this, and be able to successfully downgrade the baseband? I really want to get Xposed working again :(

EDIT: After failing with Newflasher, Sony has updated Emma flashtool I was able to successfully downgrade the baseband.

Edit 2: I got a discovery device that was on the 5.59 firmware and was able to downgrade with Androxyde Flashtool, however Newflasher would not work downgrading that device either.
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] bloodclot:
Have you tried to flash systemless xposed module via MagiskManager?
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] TheLoonyRebel:
Same soft brick result. It has to do with the March update that is causing Xposed not to work.
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] li0nh3art3d:
Yes... Since upgrading the firmware, I've tried installing it with Magisk, TWRP, and directly through the Xposed installer app, all 3 ways result in a bootloop since I upgraded to the newest firmware. :(

I tried to downgrade, but the baseband is stuck on the newer version. i.e. it won't downgrade with the rest of the firmware, so I'm assuming there's some kind of write protection that won't allow it to be downgraded. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get around it and force it to take the lower version of the baseband. The bootloader version downgrades without any issue, but it won't boot up with a mismatching baseband.
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Since this is my first Sony phone, I don't know if the same applies but I would guess that S-OFF is needed to fully downgrade the firmware, and who knows if anyone ever figures out a way to S-OFF it.
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] serajr:
- Go into recovery and create a backup of the /system partition (if something goes wrong in the next step, just restore it)

- Download and flash rovo's official xposed zip beta2 - stay away from beta3 for now!!

- You must be done!

Xposed beta2 is working great here on my Xperia X Performance - April Security Patch

Edit... got bootloop after installation of a testing xposed module. I'll check it out

Edit 2... testing module was the culprit!

Edit 3... installing modules that hook in system apps leads in bootloop (gravitybox, xprivacylua, xperia home x, ...) - Useless!
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] li0nh3art3d:
I was actually using GravityBox and Xperia Home on 50.1.A.4.102 (first update; phone ships on 50.1.A.76), it's when I updated to 50.1.A.5.59 and flashed xposed framework again, it wouldn't boot.
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] TheLoonyRebel:
That's because the March and April security updates have made Xposed useless due to how the system hooks work. Until a work around is found we are Xposed less right now.
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] li0nh3art3d:
according to this there is a workaround, made by [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION], that can be done by deodexing (or de-vdexing since oreo is vdex?) the system/framework/services.jar file and then editing it, but I can't figure out how to deodex/de-vdex... But the good news is that the fix is reported to be working for the XZP, and if done correctly should also work on the XA2 also.

tbh, it would be nice to completely deodex or de-vdex the entire rom.
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] roirraW "edor" ehT:
FWIW, [URL="https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1755243"]APKTool is what I had used 4-5 years ago on the Samsung Galaxy S3 to get the framework and system/services.jar files, and possibly one or two other files. I had merely done that so I could integrate the 3MinitBattery mod into the stock and stock-based 4.4.x ROMs. I haven't successfully touched it since then, though. I think I tried using it on the VS985 Verizon LG G3 stock ROM without any luck, but that's been awhile.

There is an official for the tool as well at https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/ by the author, as well.
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] li0nh3art3d:
I got it deodexed, and patched the services.jar, but it still bootlooped. It seems like the march security patch messed up Xposed for almost all oreo devices. Some can't run certain modules, while others won't even boot.

I really miss GravityBox :(

Has anyone had success downgrading the baseband from the 50.1.A.5.59 update? I can't be the only one that's tried...
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] baj24:
Anyone had luck with this? Really miss using xposed.
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] Konomastiker:
I was able to downgrade the baseband. I simply flashed back to 4.76. Xposed and Gravitybox works normal. Now will upgrade to 4.102 and stay there.
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] li0nh3art3d:
where did you download the firmware from? Xperifirm only has the latest...
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] Konomastiker:
I installed Sony flash utility EMMA, it found 4.76 and 5.59. You also can download it from Android File Host. Just searched for my model H3213
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] li0nh3art3d:
I have the H3123, but I registered for emma and verified my email address but it says my account won't be active until I contact a representative for sony mobile. I'm not sure how to do that... It doesn't give me any sort of link or address to email.

EDIT: So I found the firmware on Android file host, however I'm just waiting for my Emma account to be activated ?
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] Konomastiker:
I did not mess with email and activation. For me, emma was free downloadable. Go to https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/download-flash-tool/ and download it. Maybe it depends on where you are at.

PS: Just looked closer to the page. Emma was deactivated on 6 July 2017. I used it before this date. But you still can download it from Germany. You will have to try if you can install it and if it will work.

[Android Head-Units] tomerstern:
I know this topic is a little weird, but hear me out:

I just bought a no name car android unit and installed Launcher AG.

The problem is, each time I open the stock media streaming app (which streams the media from my phone to the car), it opens the stock phone app instead of the streaming app.

When I check the media streaming actual app info, I can see it is part of the stock phone app. So my guess is that the stock launcher has a shortcut to part of the phone app, and that is the streaming app.

My question is how can I still stream media from my phone using a different launcher?

Is there a third part app which could replace the media streaming app?

I hope I made myself clear. Waiting anxiously for your input.

Thanks a lot in advance.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Try FCC Car Launcher

I've tried a few options and nothing works properly. You can force it to open by using an app to launch the streaming activity but recreating the shortcut for it still launches the phone

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Themes and Apps] equaeghe:
Hi,

I'm using Signal on a Lineage OS installation on my S4 Mini Duos. However, when using it to make calls, there is an echo on the other end. This is a known problem. The developer can fix it by putting the device on a blacklist. However, he requests the problem be confirmed with a stock rom first.

Therefore the following request: could someone using a stock rom test whether, when using Signal to make a call, there is an echo on the other end (so whether or not you hear an echo is irrelevant, unless the other end also uses an S4 Mini, of course). It may be that the echo only appears after a short while. Any version of the S4 Mini is relevant, but of course a Duos variant would be most useful. Please list the rom version information and Signal version together with your result (echo/no echo). Please use the most recent Signal from the Play Store if possible.

Thanks in advance,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] StoneyJSG:
Take the OTA to the latest firmware for the at&t s2 which is Android 4.1.2 and then root it using the frama root app (just search Google for it). Once rooted pick a kernel to flash in ODIN or mobile ODIN. For AOSP ROMs I think ktoonsez kernel works and for touchwiz ROMs AJ kerwick kernel works well. I recommend flashing AJ kernel first as it works with the stock Samsung ROM.

Once you have flashed AJ kernel boot into recovery which will now be CWM recovery. From there you can flash shoStock ROM or whizz cat ROM (see my guide here in the s2 forums on how to boot i9100 TW ROMs) or any AOSP ROMs you like. Just make sure you have an AOSP kernel for AOSP ROMs and a touch wiz kernel for TW ROMs. Most ROMs come with a kernel though.

Hi,

yesterday I received my Oreo upgrade on my LG v30, and since then, my watch doesn't show the weather correctly anymore (most of the time it just shows 0°C, sometimes it's fine for some minutes).

I'm not sure if this is a problem with my phone in general or if this is a common problem with Oreo and the Stratos.

Anyone else facing the same issue?

The Stratos is on latest int. Firmware: 2.3.2.7

UPDATE:

After rebooting watch and phone twice, it seems that the problem is fixed (at least for now...)

Looks like a permission problema. Amazfit needs to connect to the Internet to get weather info, make sure it has all the permissions it needs and it's not listed in any battery saving feature/program.

Seems like a software fix is required on this as it seems to defeat the purpose of the case design.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] walkerx:
because you can see anyone calling and answer or dismiss them, see alarms and cancel these.

Agreed, great case but having the aod stay on, umm, always would be great
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] JC12345:
If you close the case, then hit the power button, the AOD will stay on. Only just discovered this, so not sure how long it stays on for - it's been 3 minutes so far... I've set the screen sleep to 10 minutes, so it might go off then. Not sure how I set the screen not to sleep at all, as it wasn't an option in the settings?
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] JC12345:
It only stayed on for about 5 minutes, which isn't really that useful. That is a bit of a design-flaw in the software. The AOD works fine with no flip cover, but becomes Sometimes On Display when used with the flip cover. Not the end of the world, but annoying. I'm trying some 'screen always on' apps to see if they can help, but so far, no joy.
