[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] moralesnery:
For the people compaining about random reboots, download and install the latest MIUI10 developer ROM using MiFlash, then re-install your custom recovery and the ROM. Other users have reported that this procedure solves that problem. (or you can just flash the latest firmware using a custom recovery, I don't like this way because it caused problems in other Redmi device, but is your choice).

While trying the latest available OFFICIAL build (10/24th)

0.- UI is a little bit laggy. Things get worse if you use a live wallpaper, so avoid them and use a lighter launcher if possible.

1.- Youtube and other cast-enabled apps won't detect cast receivers in the network (no cast button in the app), the screen mirroring settings can detect them but trying to connect to any receiver results in a soft-reboot (SystemUI crashes).

2.- Wifi hotspot is broken.

3.- Waking up the device (either using the power button or the fingerprint sensor) takes almost 1 second.

4.- Automatic brightness is too high, and the minimum brightness (moving the slider to the left and disabling automatic brightness) is too low.

5.- Battery life seems subpar compared to Oreo builds (even if using greenify or similar apps). Is not *that* bad (like 1 hour less of SOT), but it seems like the kernel or the battery management settings still need customization (inb4 "use greenify").

6.- Some times the gesture-based navigation don't work or crashes (swipe up to see recents stops working and quick app switch doesn't work). This started happening after installing another launcher, when it happens the device must be restarted to make it work again). So, if possible, keep the old navigation buttons enabled.

Just as a sidenotes:

* After installing the Magisk ZIP, the Magisk Manager APK must be donwloaded and installed manually.

* Device fingerprint can be altered using Magisk to pass Safety Net without issues. vince's and whyred stock MIUI fingerprints works just fine.

* Camera2 is disabled. Can be enabled manually by altering build.prop, or by Magisk modules. After enabling it, ARnova's GCAM modded APK works flawlessly. Snap camera it's still crap.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] SourPower:
I am needing to send my device in to TMobile after trading for the 6t. I am rooted with Xposed on the latest stock OOS (3T). Would someone be able to let me know if there are any toolkits or simple steps to locking my bootloader and factory resetting the device?

Any help is greatly appreciated
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] 0xPraeT0Rian:
Format the device in twrp (not talking about wiping but formating).
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] thes3usa:
Or just use the Unbrick tool to completely reset everything back to stock. It removes and resets everything, including your bootloader status.

Thanks for being in the 3/T community and have fun with your new device!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] RASTAVIPER:
For someone who don't know much this could result at a device with no Os.

Why not to use the standard factory reset from inside the device?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] SourPower:
Yeah I have but the dm-verity is annoying it's coming up as not enforced I think, but my mom is trading in her 3T as well and I never unlocked her BL so it does not come up at all during boot.

Does anyone know if TMobile would void the trade-in because of that?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECrispy:
I've been running Nitrogen Oreo for months with Elemental Kernel, I am also on Project Fi. Recently I've noticed my phone wont go into deep sleep and EX reports idle battery drain is ~8% / hour which is way too high.

I don't run any mods etc. My battery health is also good. Should I try another rom/kernel and if so which one. I was thinking of the new Pie roms but I don't think they are fully stable yet esp for things like wifi calling which I depend on.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runekock:
Usually, it's an app or some special rom setting keeping the phone awake. If you can find out what, it's usually simple to fix.

Sometimes, the stats in settings->battery will tell you what is using the power. Or try app betterbatterystats.

If you can't locate the problem, then an app like greenify may help by forcing the badly behaving app to sleep. Or clean flash without restoring all your current apps.

And yes, stay away from pie if you need WiFi calling.

After unlocking BL and root (Magisk 17.3) my new one OP6T, when the device is power off and connected to AC charger, it restarts and stay locked on the warning of unlocked BL without go charging.

Any advice?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
Think that is a Magisk bug. It also happen on the Essential on 17.3.

It didn't happen in older versions of Magisk.

So I just don't do that.

also with Magisk 17.1 I have the same issue. Any other idea?

Hey ,

I have been trying to ignore this , but what if I have my phone battery dead and I am trying to charge it , how should I proceed to charge it , or should I try booting into bootloader to flash the stock boot image or just leave it on the warning if it charges it while it shows the warning

which Version is the last that worked?

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] dreinulldrei:
Just wanted to make sure he is... has this been acknowledged somewhere? Sorry for asking... ;)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kantjer:
It doesn't seem to be fixable at all

It is actually not a Magisk problem, but instead any attempt to boot with initramfs while `skip_initramfs` flag is enabled, it will refuse to show the charging animation

So even without any Magisk related changes, as long as the device is kernel patched to force boot with ramdisk, it will simply not work.

To summarize, we will have to learn to live with it for now :(
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] devilrulz4ever:
I think it charges normally, it just doesn't show the charging animation. No need to flash anything, just boot up the phone after 5 mins. You might need to hold one or both volume buttons and power button in this case. For me vol+ and power button worked.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] dreinulldrei:
Yeah, I noticed. It's not a dealbreaker, but in general being able to charge the phone while off isn't that bad. What really bothers me is that the nag screen won't go away so we keep the risk of burning the OLED with some garbage... that's my main concern.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] STRUZZIN:
This happened to me also.

Yes esp if someone doesn't know leaves it like that for hours.

I had to hold all the buttons down for about 20 seconds to get it out of that stuck screen.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
That is the big disadvantage, it is hard to get the device on after it gets into that state.

I don't ever charge with the phone off. This also happened with my Essential PH-1.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] STRUZZIN:
Yes I can only charge with the phone on it seems.

I don't think mine charges when it get stuck like that.

Not like you would want to anyway.

Yesterday I got so scare that I almost think that I brick my phone. I get out of battery and the phone automatically power off by itself, then I plugged in the AC charger and stay on the Bootloader warning (exclamation (!) screen). I was specting to show up the charger animation with some kind of % battery but not nothing!

I managed to boot into TWRP and there I saw that in deep was charging the phone.

My question is: if we have a stock recovery with Unlocked BL we will see the charging animation??

Sorry for me English.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
Yes, you will.

It's only if the phone boots from a Ramdisk and with the stock BL it does not.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] fado5ster:
Hi guys,

So I have rooted my S7 and added my podcast app (podcast addict) to the system apps using app systemizer on magisk.

Everything was sweet in UPSM, could add my app to the shortlist. Then I tried playing a podcast. I lock the screen and after a few seconds the app stops playing. I presume android is force closing it. Is there any way of keeping it playing while the screen is off? I already have a persistent notification for the player which doesn't seem to do the trick..

any work around?

Are there any way to connect to wifi by micro usb or something I can use? (no long cables)

Edit: I alredy tried changing things about gps and wifi.

[General Questions and Answers] DonKichot:
I'm trying different apps that claim they securely erase files and/or securely wipe free space on your phone. None seems to work on my phone so far with little exception from Secure Eraser (it sometimes results in unlisting erased photos in DiskDigger). I wonder if it is just with my phone (rooted). Does anyone had had the same problem and eventually succeeded?

I'm aware phone NAND memory is not SSD and does not have TRIM instructions, thus file shredding might be impossible to achieve but why free space wiping does not work, either? When saying an app does not work I mean the deleted files weighing 3MB each (JPEG pictures) are fully or partly recoverable using DiskDigger root scan of /data partition (the original pictures, not only their thumbnails hidden somewhere on /data partition). I tested each app's file shredding and free space wiping functionality only to find no alleged function works.

Apps I tried:

Andro Shredder

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apparillos.android.androshredder

iShredder 6 Standard

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.projectstar.ishredder.android.standard

SDelete File Shredder

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vb2labs.android.sdelete

Shreddit Data Eraser

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.palmtronix.shreddit.v1

Secure Eraser (free space wipe only app)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aiuspaktyn.secureeraser

Secure Wipe (free space wipe only app)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pinellascodeworks.securewipe

My phone's configuration:

Custom bootloader TWRP,

LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2),

Rooted (for apps and adb),

Internal storage fully encrypted (customized with third-party app),

/data partition is formatted using F2FS file system,

stock camera app (destination: Internal storage),

all erasers are granted storage permission,

DiskDigger is granted root access and performs root scan
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Because deleted data is not actually deleted, it is only "marked" to be overwritten the next time the device needs to write/save data, in the meantime, the data is still "there", it's just being ignored by the system. The only way to really do what you're looking for is to actually format the whole partition(which wipes everything in that partition), you can't just format the "free" space at the "end" of the partition/drive.

Android doesn't work the same as PC, you seem to be trying to treat your android device the same as you would your PC. There is not that much similarity between them, they are pretty much their own different worlds.

But, you're in luck because there is this

https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/delete-files-android-so-they-cant-ever-be-recovered-0169550/

It kinda does what you're looking for but in a different manner.
[General Questions and Answers] DonKichot:
I get it but this is why Secure Eraser (brought by an xda dev Giuseppe Romano - https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.aiuspaktyn.secureeraser) works in a proper way writing dummy data to the partitions so all the free space on the physical internal card is being overwritten. It means Android gives you a warning you're running out of free space, stops the app and you have to click on the app again so it can proceed up to 100% of internal memory's free space. Still, it works only sometimes - the later you use it after deletion the smaller chance of success you get. I guess it's worth **** cause wiping is actually being done on /data's free space which doesn't mean you wipe all internal memory card's free space (let's call it a PC hard drive). There is still free space located on other physical partitions (Boot, Cache, Recovery, System, Vendor).

Fu*k it - I may have just answered myself. Where is an Android app for a rooted device doing wiping free space properly (wiping the whole internal card's free space), Anyone? A solution related to TWRP, adb command, perhaps? We need a decent Active@ Kill Disk for Android, guys - nothing works at the moment.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The thing that makes it tough to have a good tool to do this on android is the way android is partitioned and how permissions and read/write works in android, along with certain proprietary motivated hardware/software blocks implemented by manufacturers and carriers.
[General Questions and Answers] willpower102:
Reviews on play store confirm that secure eraser isn't working. Disk digger still finds files. Don't trust it.
[General Questions and Answers] DudeManDeuce:
The app was bought by Mobile Safe Apps, they probably destroyed it. You can still get the apk from the xda dev Giuseppe Romano - https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.aiuspaktyn.secureeraser. Thanks DonKichot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maexx:
Hi Members,

I am an idiot and as a result am looking for some input from you folks :rolleyes:

The story goes like this:

My wife and I are sitting in our bathtub, browsing stuff on our mobile phones. I accidentally dunk the tip of my phone (Essential PH1) including phone case and the credit cards in the case a little bit in the water. So I remove the case and cards to dry and drop the phone in the water to have my hands free. Somehow, out of some idiocracy, I assumed that the phone is fully waterproof. Well, as you are probably aware, it is not. "Funny" enough, the phone kept working while I was in the tub. When I got out of the tub I went on to charge it (it gave feedback that it started charging) and went to bed.

Coming back the next day, the phone is completely dead, most likely due to water damage. The phone itself is not such a huge loss. I personally loved it, but paid ~$300 for it, so its not the end of the world. However, the complete first year of my son's life in picture and video was on that phone and I am devastated by the thought to have lost that. I am hesitant to use a recovery company because besides the pictures of my son there is also, ahem, pictures *cough* of my wife. For the same reason I had disabled backup to cloud....

Now, my naive thought process is that the internal storage of the phone should be some kind of chip and - in my naive mind - shouldn't it be somehow viable to get that thing and solder it to some sort of raspberri-pi-or-whatever-board to access the data if the storage chip survived? Is there people with experience on such issues and have helpful suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
