[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sierra-Saphir:
Hello everyone

Please help me

I have a Sony Xperia Z3 Dual D6633 with Android 4.4.4

Firmware is D6633_23.0.F.1.74_CE

I tried to install TWRP on my phone using this tutorial

https://xdaforums.com/z3/development/root-stock-kernel-twrp-v01-test-28-09-t2889794?__utma=248941774.950623471.1412017766.1412017766.1412017766.1&__utmb=248941774.1.10.1412017766&__utmc=248941774&__utmx=-&__utmz=248941774.1412017766.1.1.utmcsr=l.facebook.com%7Cutmccn=(referral)%7Cutmcmd=referral%7Cutmcct=/lsr.php&__utmv=-&__utmk=228295838

Since the links in the thread are down it was hard for me to get the bootZ3dualmonxtest01.img file

But after an hour of googleing finally I got it from another Android forum https://mdforum.ru/showthread.php?t=16534

Then, as mentioned in the tutorial I went into bootloader / fastboot mode and entered following command

fastboot flash boot bootZ3dualmonxtest01.img

But it didn't work. Now my phone is bricked. It's powered off and I can't turn it on again

It doesn't respond to anything

Pressing Powerbutton - Nothing

Pressing Power + Volume Up/Down - Nothing

Hold Volume down and connect to PC - Nothing

Connect to 230V Adapter for charging - Nothing

ADB doesn't recognize the phone

Flashtool responds "Device disconnected"

So I can't flash back stock ROM

Please help me out. What went wrong? How can I fix it? Is it repairable or is my phone hard bricked?

Thank you for your answers

After several hours of googleing and trying I found a solution that worked for me

Great thanks to StuartjG who posted the steps in this thread

If someone else hase a similar problem this is what worked for me:

In my case there were no vibrations. I just held the button down for 120sec and it worked. Then I was able to flash back stock ROM
[Android Apps and Games] Lorbas:
What is "Navbar Weather"?

It's weather app that shows forecast in unique way - on navigation bar via eg. chart. So to use it you obviously have to have navigation bar in your smartphone.

How does it work?

I've been using Huawei Mate 9 for over a year now. It always pissed me off that I had to put a widget on the home screen to check the weather forecast. But hey, why not use navigation bar for the weather forecast? So I decided to develop some small app for my Mate 9, that can show weather chart for next 5 days (in 3 hours intervals) on Navbar. It's still in beta stage (please report me abut any bugs or new ideas in this thread before you rate it). It works pretty good for me, but for sure I know that there is a lot work to do.

So far Navbar Weather was tested only on my Mate 9, but it should work also on any other smartphone with Navigation Bar. It it also confirmed that app works on: Huawei Honor V10, Moto X4 (May 2018 Android 8.1), Samsung Galaxy devices with navigation bar.

Installation

Google Play link: Navbar Weather - forecast at your Navigation Bar

​

Permissions:

App need permission to get localization of your smartphone (to get localized weather forecast data) and permission to display over other apps (it's obligatory to place weather forecast at your navigation bar).
[Android Apps and Games] SchmilK:
This is pretty slick!!

Confirmed working on Moto X4 on May 2018 Android 8.1.

2 questions

1) Nova doesn't seem to allow the overlay when on home screen/app drawer, any way to allow that?

2) Each time i go in the app the Navbar Weather switch is off and can't turn it on unless i set location even though it's already being displayed.
[Android Apps and Games] Lorbas:
Thank you! :)

1) I need to investigate that, right now I'm on EMUI, never tested it with Nova. Let me investigate that, I'll try to answer you asap.

2) Just go to settings and select desired Forecast Data Types. You can select e.g. only temperature to force one graph. Also you can turn off Chart Carousel - then you can switch between charts by pressing home button ;)
[Android Apps and Games] SchmilK:
Found it, thanks! I'll try a few other launchers as well.

ADW 2.0 overlay is allowed.
[Android Apps and Games] Lorbas:
Just checked out Nova with default installation and it seems to work fine with Navbar Weather on my Mate 9. Maybe it's some styling settings, I'm going to test it. Thank you very much for your feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] wonsky21:
What weather provider is used in the app?
[Android Apps and Games] Lorbas:
Currently for free I can use only Openweathermap.org, which can take some serious traffic.
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
Working fine on my Note 8.

But it closes when you get rid of the window in the task manager.
[Android Apps and Games] Lorbas:
Thank you for your feedback! Now I know it works on Note 8.

Yes it closes when you get rit of the window in the task manager because some users complained they're can't close it normally. If you wish to let it run try to lock app with lock symbol at the task manager. Hope it helps :)
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
You are welcome.

Strange feedback you had because this kind of apps are meant to be left running (plus, you have a toggle on the main screen) ; like a widget you want it to be running and refresh informations even it you close the app, or else you just go to the internet for one time information about the weather.

For what I understood of the behaviour of android and its task manager now, it's only an badly made alt+tab like app switcher, not really a manager. If I close all the windows all it does nothing but not having a window history, and apps are still running and updating in the background, leaving doze and manufacturer's auto close/optimising built-in features to deal with what apps and when they have to run and be closed.

Maybe I'm wrong and it actually does more?

I just notice it follows the windows animations (using Nova launcher), so it appear somewhat in the middle of the screen before reaching the bottom when animation of complete. I don't know of you can force it to sick at the bottom?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Lorbas:
There is many more strange feedback, like - "it doesn't work on my smartphone that doesn't have navigation bar" :confused:

Apps without any background or foreground services are destroyed if you close them in task manager. Navbar Weather is running together with foreground service that is responsible for forecast at navigation bar. Right now there is couple of lines of code inside main app that tells foreground service to shut down if main app is closed/destroyed. I can change that easily, so I'll try add something to settings so you can select if you wish to run navigation bar weather forecast even if main app was closed. Thanks for pointing me out that :)

You mean those app opening animations available in Nova Launcher? Right now I'm using it and it seems to work normally at my smartphone. I'll try to test Nova with Navbar a little more, maybe there are some style settings that cause this.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
Thanks for pointed that out, I didn't know. That would be great. :)

I remember that some Samsung device doesn't have a nav bar because they got sensitive buttons under the screen on the frame, but I don't know how it behave at all then.

About Nova, I thought it happened with every opening animations but i was wrong, story.

But it actually happens every time when I press the home button from the home screen to open the search bar. It goes strange when the keyboard is popping out.
[Android Apps and Games] Lorbas:
Please try out new 0.8.7 version of Navbar Weather :) I think it works now as it should, so even when you kill application in task manager Navbar Weather won't disappear.

That's right, devices with sensitive buttons under screen are not supported, if someone enable Navbar Weather - chart just won't appear.

About Nova, it looks like could be keyboard problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
Awesome, it's working flawlessly. :)

Do you have a roadmap? To avoid asking obvious questions about what do you plan next?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Lorbas:
Great to hear that :)

Right now I'm planning to add UV index forecast, Weather Alerts (don't know yet how to put that on navigation bar, but it's just a plan right now), Air pollution forecast and in future - more weather providers to choose from. Currently trying to fix some bugs ;)

Thank you very much for your support, if you have some ideas how to improve Navbar Weather - just let me know :)
[Android Apps and Games] Lorbas:
App version is now 0.8.9.9, so most of bugs were fixed. Also now you can turn on UV Index forecast, which is really helpful to protect your skin.
[Shift General] wu5262:
As the post title suggest, it seems like if you are using the finger print reader, it's using about 10% of CPU resources at the background, so if you can leave without it, disable it and free some CPU !
[Shift General] retir0:
Do you mean ALL THE TIME? What for?

Did you realize any approvement in speed after disabling this service?
[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
When idling, my cpu meter reads around 7 or 8% in use, and I haven't disabled the fingerprint reader service... and that's with the sidebar running, and Hexagora performance monitor running on the desktop.
[Shift General] wu5262:
Yes, it's running at the background all the time, it has to because it needs to know when you are able to enter user name and passport so it can pop up and allow you to use finger print.

After un-install it, i notice a noticeable speed improvement overall, which makes perfect sense since now you have an extra 10% of CPU to use.

p.s. when i say 10%, it's an estimation, sometimes it's higher, sometimes is lower, it doesn't matter, the important thing is it's using CPU resources, so if you don't use it, just get rid of it, if you do, then of course keep it.
[Shift General] OnkelAlbert:
I deactivated Vitakey (in the autostart list), is this all I have to do?

Thanks!
[Shift General] Flanimal:
I reenabled vitakey to try it out, and I think it's brilliant. Even it it take up some CPU cycles, I think it is worthwhile. Saves me opening my keyboard just to type in my startup password, which can only be good for the longivity of the cable connection of the slider mechanism.

I haven't noticed any change in performance, even with video.
[Shift General] JEM:
Based on my understanding, there are 2 features available with the software: (1) fingerprint logon to vista and (2) browser integration to remember username and passwords for websites permitting login by a swipe.

I too noticed huge resources allocated to Vitakey, but solved the problem by disabling only feature (2) above. You still get the useful biometric vista logon, and vitakey uses no resources when operating.

Open "system settings", go to the "general settings" tab, and disable the last two: "enable password bank" and the one inset below it.

Hi everybody.

I found this project, OpenKirin(openkirin.net), and I was wondering if these roms are compatible with Honor 10 (Honor View 10 is on the list, and Kirin 970 is supported, but I don't know if it's safe to install one of these in my Honor 10 device.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] JohnMiller39:
I was planing to buy the Oneplus 6. So when I searched the Web for a Official Lineage OS ROM I found the Article I linked below telling me that there maybe never be a Official Lineage OS ROM for this phone. This being the only bit of information I was able to find about A/B seamless updates and the implications this means for OFFICIAL Custom ROMS this leads me to two questions.

The device specific Question. Will there ever be a Official Lineage OS ROM for the Oneplus 6?

The broader non device specific Question is about A/B seamless updates and the future that means for OFFICIAL Lineage OS ROMS.

No device with A/B has ever received a Official Lineage OS ROM (even the Pixel 2 which supports Treble).

Does A/B makes it impossible that this apparently unstoppable course can change in the future?

just a matter of time and about how many devices will need a treble compatible and A/B compatible version. the more of those pop up on the market the sooner they'd have to either cease development or adopt the new infrastructure which is already happening at this very moment.

[Xposed General] M66B:
Your first approach is likely correct, but you should use "android" as package name.

Did you know that you can do this with less effort with a custom hook definition in XPrivacyLua too? See here for the documentation:

https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua/blob/master/DEFINE.md
[Xposed General] toni.xda:
Thank you, the package name was the problem. Well and the missing parameters for the method reflection. But now it works like a charm.

public void handleLoadPackage(LoadPackageParam lpparam) throws Throwable {
if (!lpparam.packageName.equals("android"))
return;

XposedBridge.log("add hooks in android...");

findAndHookMethod("com.android.server.WiredAccessoryManager", lpparam.classLoader, "notifyWiredAccessoryChanged", long.class, int.class, int.class, new XC_MethodHook() {
@Override
protected void beforeHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
XposedBridge.log("<beforeHookedMethod> in: android.server.WiredAccessoryManager.notifyWiredAccessoryChanged(" + param.args[0] + ", " + param.args[1] + ", " + param.args[2] + ")");

param.args[1] = 0;

XposedBridge.log("<beforeHookedMethod> out: android.server.WiredAccessoryManager.notifyWiredAccessoryChanged(" + param.args[0] + ", " + param.args[1] + ", " + param.args[2] + ")");
}
});
}
}

I guess in the next days I'll enhance it a little bit and add it to github and Xposed repositories.

Feel free to add it to the XPrivacyLua repo. Thanks for the hint btw. this could have saved a lot of device reboot time ;)

I have an old Galaxy Mega 5.8 I9152 that I haven't used for a while but I use it when I go overseas so I dont have to take my current phone which is a Nexus 6P. But over the years the Galaxy has become really sluggish. So it is possible to install a really lightweight barebones Android like Nexus? It doesnt have to be the latest Android because I will be using it just to make calls and messaging so I need the bare minimum.

Hi guys,

I had a xiaomi.eu beta rom installed from feb/18 and i decided do update to the last beta available 8.4.28 through twrp. After that i lost quick charge and my usb connection. My pc (or any) dont recognize my phone, when i plug the usb into my pc nothing happens, nothing new in the device manager. I tried different cables and charges. Cleaned my phone usb type c port with isoprophyl alcohol and a electronic contact cleaner, didnt fix. I decided to do a full wipe, installing a Global stable 9.5.2 do see if it would fix my problem, but it didnt workout. After that i foundout thay i lost my twrp and a generic recorery from xiaomi was instaled. Yesterday i got a update via OTA to 9.5.4, didnt fix it. Now i have a phone with slow charge, no usb connection, no twrp, no root. My only solution now is to find an APk that root my phone so i can install twrp using flashify and try the rom from february i was usong before all of this. Does anyone have/had this issue?

Hab ein ähnliches Problem mit meinem BT Headset.

Was ich bisher gelesen habe ist, dass der Sound nicht auf den BT-Ausgang gelegt wird, sondern nur das Telefon.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Joe199799:
I read LG did something with the phone for the speaker to have a better resonance chamber and it actually makes the external speaker louder, you can actually feel bass and putting it on a table or something would make it louder. I haven't got the chance to test one in a store so I thought I'd ask on here if it was just a gimmick or if it actually works
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
Yes from my experience it's loud af. And yes you can actually feel the bass when you're playing a song. Putting it on a table makes it even louder.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Joe199799:
Thanks for the answer. I'm probably going to pick it up when the T-Mobile variant gets root it's honestly all I'm waiting for before I grab it

I have a roll of paper towels by the sink, and I lay the phone over the hole of the tube while I listen to music doing the dishes, and that sounds pretty nice. The speaker is actually annoyingly loud with some music, so I listen to music without using max speaker now.
[Magisk] whoiam55:
So it was a nice monday morning and I decided to try out some magisk module on my coolpad note 3 lite running madOS8.1. After the reboot it got hang on Oreo logo, as it has happened before and usually what I do is force restart the device so I tried to force restart it using power button but it again hang in the same point. Now I tried factory reset it but I think I didn't performed it the right way ends up downloading madOS and Gapps again to flash using twrp. As I installed quite a few modules at once so can't say which one caused it but the thing I want to know is how can I prevent it to break again. Is it possible to remove a magisk module from twrp? Or is there any other way to save my *ss ;)
[Magisk] teddy0209:
You can remove a module via recovery (mount magisk, magisk manager for recovery)... Or just flash your unpatched boot.img to disable magisk then you can remove the module from the manager itself.
[Magisk] whoiam55:
From your reply it seems that mount magisk and magisk manager for recovery are magisk module? And where can I find my unpached boot.img (I'm a beginner ) and yes thanks for the reply.
[Magisk] teddy0209:
You can find the latter in the download section, the first on the compilation of modules... Your unpatched boot.img/stock boot.img, you can find it inside your room zip, from your twrp backup if you did backup prior to installing magisk. Magisk also creates a backup of the boot.img before patching if I'm not mistaken.

Edit: It's under /data
[Magisk] whoiam55:
So your are saying that if it stuck on boot then I can go back to TWRP, select /data/boot.img and flash it to boot partition?

One more think suppose I install *X* module and it succeed, then I install *Y* module and it failed to boot. Now I flashed boot.img as written above will it contain *X* module or just a fresh boot.img?

Thanks again for the reply.
