Yes, highly recommended if not even required. All my LOS setups run via TWRP.

Good point. Don't know where do I need this DRM keys for, as I did't faced off this with other mobiles.

I think you have to make a backup of the TA partition:

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/iovyroot-temp-root-tool-t3349597/

addsu is to flash via TWRP in same manner like LOS itself - as a zip. Others are regualar applications (installed like that) but required root privileges to work. No root password required. Once an app needs it it will ask you, and if you like it remembers you allowed it (so it will ask just once usually). Recommend to try this. You can't do much wrong if you create a backup ;)

MicroG is a bit more fiddling to install than gapps and seems to has limitations. There are separate threads for just this.

Just start, you will get a feeling for that all. ;)

Edit: But

there is already a lineagos with microG built-in:

https://download.lineage.microg.org/suzuran/
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fetchaspade:
Thank you starbright_ ;)

To recap, I am to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, flash addsu via TWRP, flash lineage enhanced with microg, and I'm good to go.

I'm still stuck on the very first step: backing up the TA partition. If I'm not mistaken I need the TA backup tool which requires root access. Root access requires an unlocked bootloader (which would remove the TA partition and the DRM keys) or is achieved for a limited amount of time thanks to exploits. According to both https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/iovyroot-temp-root-tool-t3349597/ and https://xdaforums.com/z5-compact/general/guide-how-to-root-z5c-painful-using-t3549388, it won't work on recent versions (7.1.1) so I need to downgrade. How can I do that? I imagine I need a tool to flash an old official rom: where am I to find an old official rom? How can I flash it without having an unlocked bootloader?

Backing up the TA partition really seems cumbersome. Is the loss of quality really noticeable on photos and videos? I find photos quite disappointing already :) and I fear it would get even worse.

On an unrelated topic, do you now of any way to backup SMS conversations as a simple file to import later on the same or different device? All I can find are applications that back up messages on a GMail account (no thanks) or any IMAP server (in what world is it simpler than an xml or simple text file :eek: ?).

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agvb_:
My mom's phone is a Moto G 2015. Her phone suddenly started to crash like a week ago. Settings, moto care and com.moto.cc started to stop, the home and task button didn't work, she couldn't receive calls and also wi-fi stopped working yesterday so I grabbed her phone and did a factory reset. This didn't work at all, because now all the nav buttons work and now she can receive calls, but all the stuff I mentioned before keeps stopping, and wi-fi is still not working. I tried to flash the stock rom with adb because I previously had a Moto G 2015 too (the same model, XT1540 8GB 1GB RAM) so I know how to do the process. While trying to flash the stock rom (6.0 retail USA), adb showed me some errors: "preflash validation signed" and "invalid signed image". I gotta mention that the bootloader is locked (kinda obvious because it's my mom's phone). What should I do? Please help.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am using Google Photos for editing photos. When i save an edited photo it doesn't overwrite it creates a duplicate.

What about your Photos app?

How can i make it to overwrite?

Using MIUI global 9.5.6.0

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] ccelik97:
To me on both miui and aosp roms google photos most of the time saves a new photo as edited and weird but sometimes overwrites the original file. If it overwrites the original, I can undo the edits again from in the edit screen of google photos (it keeps a backup in the respecting folder).

You really need the second partition on the SD? Or you can have only one ex4 partition that fills all the SD? (Remove the FAT and only have one ext4)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] larpoux:
No, I tried but it doesn't work.

I found today a very interesting topic that I will try to master and hopefully wil, understand everything better :

https://www.xda-developers.com/divi...gles-fuse-replacement-will-reduce-io-overhead

Maybe I was wrong from the beginning : perhaps LinkSD and apps2SD are historic patch that are not useful anymore. Perhaps all the burden will be fixed easily just by not using those utilities anymore.

"sdcardfs" is something very new for me who is an old UNIX fellow. This seems to be a major improvement for Android.

I will update this topic when everything will be clear for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Gamer4Life:
I didnt have this problem on android 6, but on android 7 . My phone wants to use ext4 as data partition and says its corrupted, link2sd detects this second partition normally, but my data partition fat 32 detected on phone settings and its says its ready but there is no option to mount it.

As far as i understand from this tutorial i need to make 1 fake ext4 partition say 1mb, then second partition ext4 for use with link2sd, and third partition fat32 for use as data storage ??

My phone is samsung j7 2016

So i did follow this , but now my phone wont detect fat32 and link2sd didnt detect 1 of other ext4 partitions
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] 7seastraveler:
Looking for a definitive way to Root and use link2sd to have my SM-T580 use the SD as a primary parition for apps and data. Been researching and trying a dozen different methods already to no avail. Bonus if there's a way to roll it back easily. Am on the latest android release.

Thank you for all replies.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Stf-06:
You're my saviour, thank you ! I've been fighting on the same issue for days and didn't think about that trick to declare an ext partition as FAT32 !
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Deadrem:
I know you probably won't see this, but I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated this guide.

I have a Galaxy Tab S3 and every since going to a custom rom, I haven't been able to get this working which was such a pain with less than 23 gb of storage. The Rom improved my performance far too much for me to change back and every guide I attempted pointed me in the wrong direction but finally, I'm able to use my 120 gb SD card which has made my tablet worth using again.

To anyone who may attempt in the future,

I'm using Android 9 + Magisk. Using the Advanced type Mount script was the only way it get it functioning but I've had no issues with linking apps and no message regarding a corrupted SD card. It can take a few minutes on boot for everything to properly load in, but the apps all update and there's no performance/loading time issues.

Thanks again!

Please don’t delete this topic it’s fair warning!

I hate to be right sometimes but as I told long ago after years of testing it turns out that the best camera of Samsung was in S6 / S6Edge+. Test it yourself. Hold S6 in one hand and for example S8 in the other and take a photo in good light. Then zoom it on the phone and you will see that S6 has better details, no artificial brightener while for example S8 has it.

S6 has 16 Mpix and all flagships that came after had 12 Mpix rear camera.

I’ve tested S6 Edge Plus vs. S7 / S8 / S8+, Note8, S9, S9+ and…

only S9+ finally beat S6. (look how Samsung did bad for us from Sep2015 till March2018)

I wish I had NOT sale my S6 and bought a newer one :(

If You don't believe me? Ask XDA members who has S6 and a later Galaxy S model (but not S9+)

This is a Warning for You don't sell your S6!!!! or sell only if you can afford to buy S9+.

I did the wrong thing so I Warn you no to make the same mistake that I did
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bisquit-02:
The zoom function is not a good example for comparison between cameras. Neither is the amount of megapixel, of which apparently they decided to keep it at 12mp. for the time being.

So if you want more mp, and better photos, then get a professional camera.

As for reviews from reputable sites, those claim the s8 and up are better than their predecessors.

The problem is I am not a camera phone fanatic.

And coming from a op5 who has supposedly has an even worse camera and I do not see the difference.

Having that said you are ranting other people to not buy a phone because you have issues with one part of the s8(+) that is why I think topics like this should not exist.

A phone does have other things than a camera you do know that. Wanting wordclass foto's and then trying to shoot them with a smartphone:eek:

i have both and and its not true i stil have both phone and my s8 plus has way better camera than my s6 specially in low light low light pictures have lots of nois in s6 and even day light pictures s8 takes better picture when how many times you going to zoom a picture more mega pixel doesn't mean a good camera .

So how do You explain my 1000 pics expermenting S6E+ vs. the new Galaxy S devices? I did it from the emerge od S7 till the launch of S9/S9+

The purpose of this post was to warn all of ppl that DO want to use only smartfion to take pics.

I have no agenda against S8. I just know that a lot of ppl are massivly abandoning S6 cause they think that cam will be significntly better on a newer Galaxy. Out of my good heart I want to spare them the dissapointment.

Like I said if a person wants to change S6 only for pics quality reason they should buy nothing less than S9+ otherwise they will be sadly dissapointed.

I can agree with this statement. As a current ow er of an s6 edge+ I can say photo quality is lacking compared to my sister's s7 and my friend's s8. That 4 Megapixel count really doesn't make a difference when it comes to smartphone photography.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] androidbadboy:
During years with my 1000 photos taken by S6EPlus from launch od S7 till launch of S9/S9+ I did it for myself cause Samsung kept on saying that that the photo quality is better in good light than previous S models. So I went to the electronics shop. I one hand I had my phone and in the other the newer Galscy version. I joined hands, pointed forward in the same linear direction and I have taken a photo with both (same options on both, for example HDR). Then I opened in both phones the gallery and I looked very intesnly with no zoom and with zoom whsat the quality was.. the S6EPlus won with all but not with S9+. But I did not have the photos from these other models troughout the years cause I was doing it for my self to check my theory that Samsung will be lying about much camera improvment.

Hence no photos. I wasnt planing then to warn everybody. I myself wanted to buy S7E and all the next phones cause I beleived that maybe the next and next model with have a batter cam. I waited 3 years, 3 generations till the emerge of S9+ that I can truely say that in good light S9+ makes better photos than my S6E+. I was planning to buy it but I didnt have enough money :(

the problem is media player only plays wmv and mpeg if i remember. most dvd rips are in avi format. if you still want to continue using wmp then you need the codecs

:) :) :) :)

Give this a shot.... and yes, use CorePlayer.....

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobiledvd/?en

Features:

Fastest possible conversion speed

Adjustable quality with real-time preview

No additional software needed on Pocket PC

DVD and video file sources

Conversion to both WMV and XVID formats

Possibility to convert entire movie or only some part

Dual core CPU support

Support for slow 200MHz Pocket PC devices

qVGA, VGA and square screen support
[General Topics] !Kernel Panic!:
too bad you have to pay for that....

have you tried this

XVID4PSP but it also can:

import formats:

AVI DIVX ASF MPG MPE M2V MPEG VOB TS M2P D2V MOV QT 3GP HDMOV RM RAM RMVB RPX SMI SMIL MKV OGM WMV DVR-MS PMP FLV.

export formats:

PMP AVC, MP4 PSP AVC, MP4 PSP ASP, MP4 iPod, MP4 iPod 640, MP4 iPod Touch, MP4 iPhone, MP4 PS3, MP4 Xbox 360, MP4, AVI, AVI DV PAL, AVI DV NTSC, AVI Hardware, MPEG-2 PAL, MPEG-2 NTSC, MPEG2-TS, MPEG2-PS, FLV, MKV.

there are MANY MANY tweaks that can be done to help video play more smoothly. I use this to convert to .avi & wmv for my 8525 to play with tcmp.

also did I mention this is FREE....but donations are welcomed.

it also has output for:

Blackberry 8100, 8300, 8330

Toshiba G900

Sony Ericsson K610, K800

Motorola K1

Nokia 5700

I use the output option for "MP4 Blackberry 8830" which has the same screen res as mine...
[General Topics] !Kernel Panic!:
also if you need DVD back-up software here is DVDFab HD Decrypter 4.1.2.0.

It allows you to only rip the main movie if so desired and dis-regard extra languages.

hhhhhhhhmmmmm...yeah........also FREEEEE.
[General Topics] mrvanx:
I use DVD Decrypter and AutoGK to convert movies for playback with coreplayer....made a small tutorial HERE on doing it....the numbers I use are fine for 320x240 (QVGA) devices, probably best to double the filesizes and resolution for a 640x480 (VGA) device.

The movies are generally 2 pass XVid encoded with 128 VBR MP3 sound. Work fine on both software and hardware accelerated playback on the Hermes.
[General Topics] !Kernel Panic!:
nice guide by the way....but since DVD decryptor is no longer supported it can not bypass the newer DVD encryption....so you'll constantly receive the error messages "Cylinder redundancy error"

Thats why you'll have to download and install the DVDfad HD decryptor from my post above which will bypass all dvd encryption on standard DVD's as well as HD and Blu-ray....to make a back-up of your legally bought DVD's of-course.

Also by default DVD Decryptor creates 1gb files when ripping the movie. You can go into , 'Tools', 'Settings' and on the ''IFO MODE" & "ISO MODE" tabs you will need to set "file Splitting" to "none". This way it creates a single 4gb+ .vob file which is the entire movie. Then import that into Xvid4PSP.

Xvid also allows you to import the multiple 1gb files and auto joins them to create 1 file just as in your guide also....

If original movie is larger that 4.74gb....Xvid4PSP also has "DVD shrink" incorporated into it which allows you to compress a movie to fit standard dvd.

hope this helps...

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
Linux. Running processes in background doesn't hurt. They consume no cpu time. It's not like windows.

Don't worry about, it is another software architecture and faster than starting apps from 0 when you need them. In Linux environments full ram isn't bad, it's good and so don't consider to use task killers, it's really bad for performance and battery.

Your mobile phone is optimized in that way :good:
