[General Questions and Answers] Hamza-Android user-:
I tried to install system UI tuner on rooted lenovo A 5000 ,it was not compatible with my android version.

Any way i tried to edit build.prop using build prop editor app on play store the modification gone successfully(I changed android number from 5.0.2 to 7.0-and SDK version from 21 to 29),then i rebooted my phone for the modification to take effect,after the phone booted most apps stopped working-including the build prop editor app- i tried to reverse my actions by changing numbers to the previous state by using ES file explorer in the root explorer but the text editor also stopped working .then the last try to fix my phone was by using ADB on linux i used the terminal to pull system/build.prop to my PC then editing it by the text editor manually ,then i copied the file to my phone then i opened ES again and moved the file to system/build.prop and it deleted the file and replaced it then i rebooted the phone then it did not stop the boot animation then i knew that my phone had a bootloop

please help me find a solution,How i can reverse everything or shall i install a custom rom or anyone has any other idea.

NOTE : All lines inside the file were like that :"something = x" except one line which was "something = " only .

Install Phoenix OS on an ext4 partition. (Or any other fs type partition.)

Use a Linux distro to do this. I used Ubuntu. It can be installed on an MBR and on a UEFI computer. I installed it on a UEFI laptop first, later on an MBR laptop.

1) Download Phoenix OS iso for PC from http://www.phoenixos.com/en/download_x86

2) Unarchive it.

3) Unsquashfs the system.sfs file. Look in the resulting squashfs_root folder to find the system.img file there.

4) Use a free ext4 partition or create one. (Any size.)

5) Create a folder phoenix in that partition. (/dev/sdaX/phoenix, where X is the number of the partition.)

6) Move files initrd.img, kernel, ramdisk.img and system.img to the phoenix folder.

7) Create a folder data in that phoenix folder. (dev/sdaX/phoenix/data)

8) In terminal,

sudo nano /etc/grub.d/40_custom

add,

menuentry 'Phoenix OS' --class android-x86 {
insmod part_gpt
set root='hd0,gptX'
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /phoenix/system.img
linux /phoenix/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=Android_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive CMDLINE
initrd /phoenix/initrd.img
}

Here X is the number of your partition. If your partition system is older, change

insmod part_gpt
set root='hd0,gptX'
to
insmod part_msdos
set root='hd0,msdosX'

sudo update-grub

9) Reboot and boot into Phoenix OS. Wait for while until it'd fill the /dev/sdaX/data

Enjoy!

Hello!

Perhaps this is not the appropriate topic where I could trouble you with a quick question, but since I'm already here, I was wondering if you could perhaps offer me a better insight about what my problem could be. I've searched left and right for an answer to this but I've yet to find one.

So I've been trying to install Phoenix OS alongside Ubuntu, however the system won't boot at all with this current version, it freezes at "Detecting Phoenix OS... found at (etc)" and nothing. The only one that seems to be working is v 2.0.2 but it's really unresponsive towards installing .apk files and buggy sort of speak.

I've also tried USB installation and yet again the same concept; I'm beginning to think it's because of my laptop perhaps?

It's a relatively old machine, but here are the specs:

System Model: X553MA

Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N2840 @ 2.16GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.2GHz

Memory: 4096MB RAM

Display: Intel(R) HD GRAPHICS

Thank you in advance!

[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Samx14:
Hello, just a quick question before i try it out. There is a tutorial over internet which dual boots phoenix from ubuntu root partition without the need to make a separate partition. The grub code provided is as follows:

insmod part_gpt

search --file --no-floppy --set=root /phoenix/system.sfs

linux /phoenix/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86 SRC=phoenix/

initrd /phoenix/initrd.img

this method doesnt unsquash the sfs file, and hence after booting to phoenix you cant change filesystem files as they are protected.

Question: can I use a system.img using this method? I find this easy and non destructive to my existing harddisk partition scheme. my guess is, all i have to do is change the code from system.sfs to system.img. Is there anything else i need to take care of?

Clearing Private Data on Android Chrome or Android Firefox or Android native browser is a cumbersome process through a jungle of menus.

Why is it impossible to do that with a single Tap? No app can do it and even checking the Firefox native option: Clear private data on exit does

not

fully remove all Private Data, which *only* gets removed if you manually jump through several hoops to get to the Clear Data option you can tap on.

Is there a reason why this useful option cannot be automated like it can on a PC where various apps like CCleaner etc. exist which can remove private data with a single click....

To clarify. A test: Go to any web site which limits you to reading a few articles, like the New York Times or the Washington Post.

After you reach the limit of articles you can read, you can *only* read more if you Clear Private Data manually.

If you try any other way, you cannot, proving that private data still remains until you manually clear it.

[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] Isrks:
Did you unlocked your bootloader and after that did you flash TWRP without reboot?

Maybe I'm wrong but when you unlock your bootloader, the phone automatically reboots into stock recovery and and immediately wipe everything (included your internal storage) and then reboots normally. If you flashed TWRP after unlocking your bootloader, your phone will boot into TWRP but it won't wipe anything.

I think that happened. :confused:
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] >Taps<:
Mmh after I unlocked the bootloader, my phone was freeze on this

Select Boot Mode :

[VOLUME_UP to select. VOLUME DOWN is OK]

[Recovery Mode]

[Fastboot Mode] <<==

[Normal Mode]

=> FASTBOOT mode.....

So, I forced it to reboot, after everything seems ok.

What part must I reflash ?:confused:
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] Isrks:
When I unlocked the bootloader my phone freezed too, so I typed in Windows cmd "fastboot reboot". After that, my phone was formatted by stock recovery.

You should reflash stock recovery if you have TWRP, so the stock recovery can format your internal storage, if not, your phone won't boot.

:fingers-crossed:
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] >Taps<:
Ok, so fastboot didn't work at all (just waiting devices)

I tried to reflash TWRP nothing happens, I tried to do a factory wipe with twrp but nothing happens too.

I searched a stock recovery for nokia 3 1032- Android 7.0 but found nothing - must i use stock recovery for Android 7.1.1 or do you have a link to a stock recovery for 7.0 ?

You can flash again with OST LA. Or try to flash with SP flash tool the whole rom or just the recovery. To flash with SP flash tools you need a nb0 unpacker tool (my previous post have a link to another post with the tool link).

Do you know the safest way to relock the bootloader ?
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] Isrks:
Is like unlock bootloader, just change "fastboot oem unlock" to "fastboot oem lock". :cool:

But your internal storage will be formatted again by stock recovery, so you must have stock recovery installed.

After relock, your device will get ota updates, so you need stock recovery to install them.

I recommend root your device after all the updates, even you can install TWRP without problems.

I installed TWRP, root and installed stock recovery to get updates. Choose the method that you like.

Good luck. :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sunking101:
My only criticism with the N8 is RAM management. I moved from the Xperia XZ with 3GB of RAM and purposefully went for a device with 6GB because of reloads. Yet my N8 reloads the sites and apps in question every bit as much. I read that he N8 had much better RAM management with Nougat, is this so?*
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
My N950F 128 GB model almost never reloads, it only reloads when I execute device maintainance, which clears ram and all cached non essential stuff
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] eraursls1984:
I'm on Nougat and mine reloads after opening just two other apps briefly, or one app when using it extensively. Having 6 GB of RAM has had no improvement in this regard over the phones I've had with 2 gb of RAM.

I wish we could dedicate a certain amount of RAM to a few of our most used apps.

I never understood how the phone could use nearly 3.5 gigs of ram for background processes.

That doesn't explain why my 6GB N8 reloads just as badly as my 3GB Xperia XZ. It holds hardly anything in memory before reloading/refreshing. I love the phone but specifically got it for the RAM which in my experience is kinda for show. It doesn't improve anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
Well, I agree with you being so upset about YOUR particular note 8 behaving as a 3 gb ram device or worse, but my device reloads only sometimes, not all the time, I usually have some 800-1000 mb of free ram, in device maintainance I have some 60 apps unmonitored and 194 to always sleeping untill I run them

It doesn't reload all the time, it just reloads the same apps with the same frequency that my Xperia XZ did. It must be down to Android ram management rather than the amount of RAM itself.

It seemed that with the correct original plugins that my samsung gear S3 watch would continue to pair but the Samsung gear App would just force close upon trying to open it.
