Hello XDA-Members,

I'm here because over night my Smasung S4 Mini was shut-down. In the morning I started it, there was a message saying: App optimization 1 ... 2 ... 3.

After the third my phone powered of. Now I'm not getting it booted, I only can enter System recovery, wiping the case partition and apply update from cache didn't work.

When I'm in Android system recovery I get the following error:

-- Appling Multi-CSC...

Applied the CSC-Code : DBT

did not match sized 'system/csc/common/system/csc/default_workspace.xml' (No data available)

How can I fix this, I don't want to loose the data on my phone... :confused:

There could be a reason why the app optimization didn't work, because I may have had low storage space. How could I delet something or backup my phone?

For any help i'm very thankful!

Cheers

uli

Hi all I'm still in 2 minds whether i root my note 9, I'm not sure I wanna lose sasung pay, I'm trying to get google pay to work on my rooted S7 to make comparisons but it's not working I get errors that it's been rooted. I thought google pay works with rooted devices? I've followed the instructions such as hiding it magdisk but it fails safety net...any advice?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mwyann:
Some mods will screw Safety Net and there's nothing you can do about it. For example, Xposed. You should disable all Magisk modules, and try them one at a time until you find the culprit, and see if you can live without it.

Hi community, i'm looking a way to activate the long press functionality using the task button (the one next to home that is not back button). I just update my phone Xiaomi to android 8.1, i use a few aplications (critical for me) that require a long press on that button, i imagine that is some config missing on build.prop

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brainydee:
Hi folks,

I have the Nexus 6 US model since a while. I had a SIM in it a year ago and it worked (O2 Germany). I took it out and used the phone without SIM for a year. Now I put one back in (also O2 Germany, but new SIM) and I get no signal. The SIM works in another phone.

I played around a bit and came to the Test/Phone Info menu. I have two things I can choose: Radio Band Mode and preferred network type.

Since people bricked their phones before with those settings, I didn't touch them. Radio Band Mode I can't see what it is set to, it just shows the list: United States, Cellular 800, PCS, Class 10 (800Mhz-Secondary), Class 15 (US-AWS).

The preferred network type is now at Global auto (PRL). It used to be at LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (PRL). Both dont work.

Any hints? When googling I only find tons of articles where people bricked their phones and how they recovered, but not any on how to set the US phone for EU networks. According to the bands it should work at least for 3G and some (not all) LTE bands used in Europe and it did a year ago...

Cheers,

Daniel.

I don't think you can achieve anything using that menu. If a factory reset doesn't help, your phone is just incompatible with that sim.

could someone help us the inexperienced, to be able to flash the roms gsi, step by step with some tutorial? for the Moto G6 Plus :D
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7646815:
There's a tutorial on XDA that works for all devices. It's not really necessary; it's like writing the same post again.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] Xplorer4x4:
According to the dev Khode_Erfan who brought us lineage os 15.1 Rom with out owning the device has said do not wipe system.

What I suggest is from stock, in twrp flash Los15. 1 using the instructions in that thread(may as well skip root and gapps and boot Los15. 1 one full time. This gets you 8.1 vendor and best compatible base for a gsi.

From here we need some clarification but this is what I like to do.

Reboot to bootloader.

Boot twrp.img

flash gsi.img

flash mindthegapps8(oreo gsi) or 9(pie gsi) if not included in gsi. If possible I like a vanilla gsi and flash gapps myself to avoid a device registration on Googles dev site and 100 notifications my device isn't certified.

Flash magisk

reboot to bootloader.

Run fastboot - w.

Good evening,

I have this phone running 4.4.4 customized by a carrier, I would like a stock rom, preferably 5.0.2. I've found this one from Russia in SamMobile, but it says Download Unavailable. Assuming I can use it, where can I find a mirror?

Thank you!

Try and use this website and its much better than sam mobile as that website limits the download speed.

Afaik all current MIUI custom ROMs have encryption disabled

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] CoñoWilly:
you mean for Mi Max 3, right?

In other xiaomi phones, it is possible.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] janot2007:
Yep

I've tried multiple available ROMs several weeks ago, none had it, so I had to stay on chinese miui 10. They are probably using this script https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/

I'm not sure why they had to use it. I know, currently TWRP cannot manipulate encrypted data partition on latest Android versions because of dm-verity thing, but that doesn't look like sufficient reason to disable encryption for me. Maybe they have some other reasons when making custom ROMS idk.

Are you asking about "Additional Setting > Privacy > Encrption & credentials" , mine shown as 'Phone encrypted'

Yes, but it is not.

The phone needs to be charged at least al 95% and be connected to power. Then the button is enabled. It restart, and nothing happens.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] jonklinger:
Ok;

YES YOU CAN.

It took me two days to find out why and how. but here is the fix: you need to resize your data partition so that it will have 32kb of free space.

Instructions here:

https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/146081/how-to-resize-the-data-f2fs-partition

it does work for me; and I suggest you try it. I am running BenzoROM with Android Pie, unlocked bootloader and the 6GB variant. YMMV.

Everything working on Benzo?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] jonklinger:
Well, mostly. Meaning: I'm not sure quick-charge works (haven't tried it), bluetooth calling is meh (worked once and failed once) and screen flickers at brightness changes.

You do need to replace the stock camera with open camera. But apart from that? well, you get clean android 9.0 experience with no other flaws.

Have you got the same issue?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] palmdude:
Encryption also works on xiaomi.eu 8.12.13

Here is what I did (to the best of my memory, try at your own risk!):

- Reset to "fastboot ROM" Global 9.6.6 (the version my phone was shipped with).

- Flashed TWRP

- Wiped data, dalvik, and cache

- Flashed eu 8.12.13

- Flashed Magisk

- setup phone, etc

After that, I encrypted the phone via the settings menu (search for encrypt). Works just fine.

However currently there is one problem. All TWRP versions for Mi Max 3 can not access the data partition, because TWRP does not know how to decrypt the data partition in Pie. So you won't be able to flash anything that needs access to the data partition :) But a future TWRP will fix this, hopefully soon ...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] shadowpk1:
So, it's better to wait for new TWRP. But what with ARB? Is any possibility to check it on Mi Max 3? getvar anti in fastboot doesn't work. I know Xiaomi.eu roms have ARB. I bought my phone (6/128) flashed with Global rom 10.0.1.0. Is anywhere list which versions of anti are in roms? I wonder if flashing Global dev 8.12.13 with fastboot method and after that flashing xiaomi.eu 8.12.13 could resolve problem with encryption. Maybe I'l try.

Alternative to Terrarium

You know that the Terrarium TV was shutdown few months ago. I searched the web for an exact reason to know why Terrarium was shutdown. But I was not able to find a good answer for that. Any way, you can use an app like "CyberFlix APK" to watch movies online same like you did with Terrarium TV. You can download the application from various download sites on the internet.

[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] blackinfinity:
So yes just lets admit it, The fingerprint scanner on Vivo Nex is not perfect, but what it represent is forward thinking which will force other manufactures to follow, but we all know that Optic under glass fingerprint scanner will have to make room to the far superior ultrasonic technology.

despite this I am interesting to know what method you people are using to get higher success rate ?

The first question that comes to mind does it really help to save multiple fingerprints for the same finger ?

Even though I mostly my thumb to unlock where it is hit and miss the index finger have a lot higher success rate, and I wonder why.

Dry hands seem to be a big problem for the fingerprint scanner... I therefor tried to save a new fingerprinting when my finger are dry, I cant say it any visible improvement. It is still frustrating that my index finger seem to work a lot better on the fingerprint scanner.

Fingerprint scanner seem to work better in dark room rather then a well lit room or environment.

please posts your findings how to improve success rate especially for using the thumbs.

I think there is still hope that the fingerprint scanner will improve further in future software updates.

I also think, people will have a different success rate because of biological versions, some fingers are maybe harder to read then others for some reason. Lets hope Vivo will push out more updates for the fingerprint accuracy. This is their first device aimed for the global market so lets hope they will give this one extra care since this device will be the bridge into the global market..
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Tafff:
I use multiple fingerprints for one finger and think it's much more reliable than one saved fingerprint.

Interesting that my index fingers are also working much better with only one saved profile instead of my right thumb :svetius:

Vivo Nex S is recognizing your already saved fingerprints. Nevertheless you can simply save the same fingerprint again by moving and trying different positions from your finger. I actually saved my right thumb three times and surprised how good it works (for the first 3 days)
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Actually 2 months now I’m very pleased by reliability accuracy and smoothness of 3D underscreen fingerprint scanner.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] blackinfinity:
Thanks..I thought that had been tried in youtube videos I think I saw people say its does not help to make multiple fingerprints for the same finger... it should not be needed..it should be smarter then that..

especially since you press the finger multiple times when you setup a new fingerprint.

Well anyway I will try it..I guess it can be worse then what it is now....

Its frustrating that the index finger works so well..and not the thumbs...
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Wahoux:
I saw some review where they said that someone unlocked their smartphone with an unregistered finger...

This fingerprint sensor is really not reliable at all

And funny, i asked Vivo on facebook about this issue, Joe just told me "use a password instead" ...
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Tafff:
Unfortunately Joe from vivo isn't a good supporter :/
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] parusia:
To be honest I don't trust any videos about finger print scanner. If somebody wants to troll all they have to do is register the finger and state on the video that finger is unregistered and just troll the Vivo Nex owners about how unreliable the phone finger print scanner is.

I tried several times to unlock the phone with any finger that is unregistered and 100% of the time the phone doesn't unlock and send me to unlocked the phone with the pin number.

And the finger print scanner works 98% of the time with me on my registered fingers, I noticed the other 2% is because my fingers are wet or dirty from working out.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] riri_joli:
I scanned my thumbs fingerprints and it works better with the left one. Even after a rescan of the right one

I didn't succeed in making a second scan with a finger already stored

Of course I don't know why
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] megich:
The accuracy is fine,however there is another interesting notice-you don't actually have to wait with your finger on the screen until the phone unlocks. You can simply put the finger for a second,release it and then wait a bit more for the unlock. That's quite intersting user experience and it makes the visibility of a faster finger recognition process than it actually is :)
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] blackinfinity:
I am sorry but I do not believe in this method...

Remember when you create a fingerprint you scan your finger multiple of times even from the edges etc.

Theoretically it could only lead to even slower scanning.

Anyway success rate have improved a lot the last 2 days not sure why...

Hopefully its learning and getting better for each day. I still hope vivo will solve the speed.

one frustrating thing is the screen dont unluck directly even when the scanner have read your finger for instance I cant put off my finger before it gets unlocked and it unlock...

I hope next update will come with some improvements regarding fingerprint scanner cause I think it does not live up fully to its potential right now.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] kwongwt:
It seems that the unlocking process is actually quite fast. There is a delay because of the animation. If you turn off animations in developer's options unlocking would be faster.

Make sure the position you scan your finger is in the same position you unlock ur phone, I found this to work 8-9 times out of 10 :cool:
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] blackinfinity:
what I have learned lately is, its good to not push too hard on the screen push very gentlely it seem to be easier to unlock. anyway I think this scanner still need software updates to improve it have problems in well lit scenarios, luckily I am a night bird..
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Yes I can confirm push the on screen scanner gently always works brilliantly,in few scenarios I pushed it harder didn’t response some time with first attempt.

Overall experience 2.5 months I’m very pleased with accuracy,response and smoothness as long we learn his trick.

Always helpful if someone experience not so good response or accuracy to register 1 more time from beginning it’s finger and tested one day continuously until been successfully.

And repeat 1-2 times to find their best performance to his own way.

[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] DrG0nz0:
Same here :)
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] DrG0nz0:
Sorry but that just isn't true. What takes more time is the animation. If you press slightly the sensor and pull the finger, you will see that he will unlock nonetheless, you don't have to keep pressing....more, the more you press, the worse the reading is (don't know why, maybe slight bend of the screen distorts the image).

You can also try to disable the animation effects and you will see how fast it really is....
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] blackinfinity:
Yes there is some kind of glitch in the software I agree, you often push longer then you have to cause the screen does not indicate that its unlocked and it does not unlock unless you take the finger of, you can of course put the finger of faster but its bigger risk that it does not do it on the first try then. Yeah Vivo have something to work on, maybe this was better in previous updates, as it is now I would describe the fingerprint scanner as horrible, i think there is big possibility to improve with software as it is now since it have very visible problems with the screen not unlocking unless you remove finger from the screen.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] blackinfinity:
I have seen reports from many sites that fingerprint scanners have problem when it gets cold, mainly due to the fact our finger and skin gets dry and harder to read have you tried this ?

this can be one reason why I experience higher fail rate when outside.

Blowing some hot steam from mouth on the surface can help if you try multiple times without success.. I think the ultrasonic solutions will most likely not have this problem.
