[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] ariber14:
Hello guys. I'm trying to build custom rom based on stock rom using assayed kitchen. i prepared the files of stock firmware so they can be readed from kitchen. everything looks good but i have only one problem.

the app extracts the files, but i get the error FAILED TO GET [file_contexts]... I found file_contexts.bin into the fota.zip archive. but i dont know how to convert it to file_contexts text and then where to place it so the app can read it.

can anyone with more knowledge help with this?? thank you in advance!!
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
I can provide you with the tool to convert it, however SuperR kitchen can already do this.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] ariber14:
That would be wonderful. I will try the same procedure with SuperR!

You can run Linux in a VM such as VIRTUAL BOX or VMWARE.

You could also use WSL, but personally have never used it.

i'm successful deodex with superR kitchen with ubuntu 64 bit. very simple and now booted....but kinda laggy hahaha..

and first booting also maybe took around 20 mins i gezz :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] ariber14:
Congratulations!! you'll find a way to make it faster.even with some tweakings to kernel.

i would like to know if there is a video on how to make a custom rom from stock oreo android. i've done it on nougat, but not oreo and why not even android pie. can't find e decent tutorial
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] an-_-dro:
i also have a plan to make custom and also my first mod deal with oreo, deodexed already booted and so far so good. the only problem is really laggy at the begining but more u use/open apps, restart and so on..the lag become decrease and now "almost" as normal/odexed speed..

for making custom rom i gez no different with previous android..find the right tool to deodex, then edit desired apk with desired mod then pack it :D
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] balanadi:
I was trying to build also a custom ROM with Assayed Kitchen , but same problem with context bin file .

Even with the stock firmware , with TWRP installed and rooted with magisk 18.0 , the first 3 or 4 boot takes longer , but i think there is something inside the new Oreo firmware which recognize that you delete some applications , and after few reboots , the phone is very fast and battery keeps more than 40-46 hours ... which for me it is a very satisfied,

I used Assayed Kitchen for SM-J730GM... SM-T585 ..SM-T560...SM-G900F ...SM-J710FN , and made for myself very fast and battery friendly ROM"S , but i will keep digging to find a way to build one for SM-A605FN ...

I will let you know if i will find something new .

And if you are willing to try a modified mixer_paths.xml in order to have a very nice and loud sound on speakers and Bluetooth i will attached for you .

You need to added in " / vendor / etc " folder and give 644 permission .

Please let me know your opinion , so maybe we can share it after !!!:good::good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] an-_-dro:
assayyed not working on oreo but superR kitchen on ubuntu 64bit very handy..less than 2 minutes to completely deodex 8.0.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] ariber14:
Every time i make a custom rom and i deodex it,it says already deodexed next to each file. I wonder why?:confused:

I believe now we need someone to make a custom kernel with tweeks for battery and performance. 3500 battery and we could make it last much longer. I believe this is a must right now.

I copyied your file to the directory you mentioned. There was already a file with the same name there. I suppose yours has some changes though i didn't notice anything in the sound. After the restart google services show error once in a while.... then i installed viper4android fx from magics modules. After restart my sim signal was lost. V4a showed at apps.i can open it but the driver wont work.i removed it and sim signal came back!! So we still need to make some tests till we find a working v4a....
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] balanadi:
I was wondering why you got the google service error and viper , so i doubled verify and the file should be in "/vendor/ etc" not in "/system/ / vendor / etc " . And i did modify very carefully each value from original 84 value to 90 in most cases and from 81 to 85 in some headphone values ...

I really apologize for the mistake i did regarding the place of the file where to add it .

You can try again to see if you see any difference .

You have attached some pictures about the place and modifications ..
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] an-_-dro:
probably your deodexer not compatible with oreo. i remember when using assayed kitchen i also experienced like that.

Hi,

Can anybody build TWRP for Pendant ?

Or can i use an existing custom Recovery?

Greetz bspunker
[Fire TV General] 2WhlWzrd:
TWRP Builder is a place to start.

There are also TWRP recovery images for AMLogic S905x based TV Boxes on freaktab.com.

But as far as I know @rbox is the only one that has done TWRP recovery specifically for Fire TV devices.

I agree, we do need recovery for this device.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] markiejones:
Just received it - before ordering it, I saw some mixed messages on media playback, so I decided to conduct my own semi-scientific tests - meaning grab a bunch of samples of typical media I consume (tv/movie/anime) with some key differences (264/265 8/10 bit, 1080p/2160p) just to see what this tablet could handle. I was actually pleasantly surprised. My test bed was MX Player with the all-in-one decoder pack.

Smooth Playback via HW/HW+

- h.264 8bit 1080p

- x.265 8bit 1080p

- x.264 8bit 2160p (was a 120mbit file as well - zero chop)

Smooth Playback via SW (not supported by HW)

- h.264 10bit 1080p

- x.265 10bit 1080p

- AVC 10bit 1080p

Not-at-all smooth Playback via SW (Not supported by HW)

- x.265 10bit 4K (this is by far the most popular 4k format)

Not tested

- 4k/264/10bit, 4k/265/8bit (couldn't find any)

- anything above 24/30 FPS (I don't personally care about that for movies/tv/anime, but it did play 60fps/1080p in youtube just fine)

Conclusions

Yeah - lack of 10bit hardware decoding is a minor bummer, all but eliminating this as a 4K personal media consumption device, but its spiffy CPU seems to handle anything 1080p/10bit just fine, making it adequate for my demands.

[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Have you tried flashing a Compatible TWRP. Without TWRP you can't do anything. Maybe try dload method. Are you sure you had TWRP recovery installed before brick. If so then let your phone drain of battery then plug in USB. It should show a three options menu if bootloader is unlocked. Press Volume up to boot into recovery. It should be TWRP. If not then try factory reset.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] jerrah:
I have it up and running. I used the hold 3 button and upgrade mode. Only thing was I have a mate se and the only files I could find were for an honor 7x lc21 files but I had a bnd l34. So I have a honor 7x software. I’m unlocked boot loader and rooted again. How can I make it back to it saying my phone is a mate se. when I go to about phone it shows up as a generic_a14
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Pretty sure you need to flash correct firmware via Hurupdater. To do that first download the correct firmware files for your model via Firmware Finder. Next download Hurupdater and rename the three files as suggested in Hurupdater thread. Finally flash a Compatible TWRP and place all four files (Hurupdater and three Firmware after renaming) into the same folder on your SD card as you will lose all data in Internal. Boot device into TWRP.

Go to:

Wipe -> Format Data -> YES.

Now back twice and go to:

Advanced Wipe -> Mark Dalvik/Art Cache, Cache, Data, Internal and System and swipe to Wipe. Next navigate to folder with files in SD card and select only Hurupdater to flash. Once flash completes, wipe Cache and then reboot. When phone shows warning screen, press Volume Up to boot into stock recovery and Wipe Data/Factory Reset. After that format Cache and reboot. First boot can take up to 10 minutes. Luck.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] jerrah:
Then I gotta reunlock and root? I have my unlock code
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Hurupdater doesn't lock the Bootloader. At least never did for me. It's important to note that Download files from Firmware Finder only as others may lock Bootloader. You will only need to reflash TWRP normally. After that your device should work Normally

Hi guys, can any one tell me how to sync heart rate from at least my activities to Google Fit?

I know using MiFit it does sync the HR to Strava but not Google Fit.
[Amazfit] lfom:
I think you've made a confusion: MiFit doesn't sync with Strava, Amazfit does. You can add GoogleFit sync to MiFit, and if you use the same account you use with Amazfit, it will sync your activities to GoogleFit. It doesn't seem it's automatic in my tests tho, you need to open MiFit at least once a day for it to sync properly (it's a good idea to check GoogleFit later too).

I have been trying to update my ROM lately with a new Radio and have been having one issue. Whenever I run the update utility, the screen will enter SPL Mode (all white) like it should, but when it enters SPL mode the activesync connection is lost, every time. I cannot get it connected again until I reboot the phone back into wm6, and then it connects to activesync just fine.

How can I get it to stay connected long enough for me to flash?

So to begin, when I want to update the radio, I should be able to update it in the same way I install a new ROM, correct? I use a SoftSPL file I found here and simply copy main file into that folder and then run start-SPL.

Anyone else experience this? It just seems to always disconnect and cause errors right before it updates the ROM.

The only thing that I can think of that could be causing it is the phone fell in some water for a couple seconds about a week ago. It's been drying out and seems to run ok again as of today. I was able to flash the ROM a couple times, so I know it's possible to flash. It took a couple of tries, but eventually did flash. However, I've tried about 10 times for the radio only (2.71.11) and it won't work.

Any ideas, other than it cannot be fixed due to water damage?

Note: I was just able to flash back to the cingular stock ROM (was using Jaguar 4.0). The stock ROM always seems to flash easily without difficulties - can unofficial ROMs not be flashed in the same manner? Just an .exe file that takes care of everything and never has activesync issues? It's flashing the stock ROM as I type, and it does not show the activesync connection is active. It was at first, but was lost (or appears so, anyways) as the flash began. The stock ROM is much easier to flash in my opinion and hasn't given me difficulties thus far, although other ROMs used to flash easily as well - not so much now.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
First,You don't have to flash Radio Rom using 'SoftSPL',its an EXE file,it'll flash straight like an official stock rom,as it doesn't contain any IPL/SPL in it,it won't effect the bootloaders and the phone,its safe to flash to any device,G3 or G4,just connect your phone with pc via usb cable and run the Ruu included in the Radio Rom,it'll start to upgrade.

Secondly,YES! official stock Roms are easy to flash,cuz it contains official G3/G4 IPL/SPL included in them,it doesn't require CID unlocking the phone,whereas,custom build wm6 Roms require the phone to be CID unlocked and doesn't include IPL/SPL in it,so a G4 device cannot be CID unlocked,therefore,using 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL',its tricked into temporarily CID unlocked status,but actually its not CID unlocked.Hope its clear now :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mcalvo_cr:
Man.. it is clear enough, but dude, you didn't tell how am I able to proceed with the ROM upgrade when the activesync issue occurs everytime I try to upgrade. ;)

The glass is probably comparable to Whitestone Dome (the entire process isn't revolutionary, it's only Whitestone that's really capitalized on it, probably because it's not incredibly popular amongst the average user), but afaik they don't include the alignment tool, which is a bit of a hassle since doing it by hand isn't very easy.

Uninstalling and Reinstalling the Health App also made no difference even after a further Watch Reset so dived into the privacy setting and unticked Cloud Backup and cleared all Personal Data in cloud before uninstalling health app, resetting Watch and then reinstalling Health App.

Based on my playing around yesterday then if you have then the updated list of Watches stays there until you clear the Data from the App or Uninstall/Reinstall it , at which point it connects to Huaweis servers to get an updated list which includes the GT.
